Lil Baby developed within Atlanta rap, building an audience through mixtapes and the jointly credited Drip Harder project with Gunna. My Turn, released in 2020, brought that work into a larger album setting built around trap production. Its collaborators included Future, Lil Wayne and Lil Uzi Vert, with producers such as Hit-Boy and Tay Keith contributing to the recordings. His own album catalog remains distinct from guest appearances and shared projects with other rappers.
