Lil Baby has finally delivered his long-awaited project, and it's got a few bangers on it.

On Wednesday, December 3, the Atlanta native dropped his new mixtape The Leaks via Quality Control Music. The project comes with 15 songs beginning with "Mrs. Trendsetter" followed by "Guaranteed," produced by Wheezy. Lil Baby enlisted a few heavy hitters for the project, including Young Thug, Lil Yachty, Playboi Carti, G Herbo, Veeze, Lucki, Skooly, Rylo Rodriguez and Bino Rideaux. In a previous preview of their collaboration "Superman," Thug had name-dropped Gunna by rapping, "Only reason I f**ked with you Gunna, it was 'cause of Troup." However, it appears that Thug removed Gunna's mention on the final version.

Young Thug re-recorded his verse for the official release of Lil Baby's "Superman," removing the part where he name-drops Gunna 👀

Lil Baby's new mixtape arrived a few months after he announced it on a livestream with PlaqueBoyMax. He originally planned to drop it in August but decided to push it back. Over the past few months, he released songs like "Middle of the Summer" and "Otha Boy" as part of his "Wham Wednesdays" campaign to hype up the project.

Wham's collaboration with Playboi Carti and Skooly, "Let's Do It," appears on iHeartRadio's Rap Rising playlist this week. It also features new tracks from GloRilla, Ice Spice, Ludacris and more.
