Lil Baby is making another shift in his music direction. After teasing his eagerly awaited project, “Dominique,” for months, the popular Atlanta rapper has announced a new surprise project instead, “The Leak$.” And it looks like it’s going to be huge. Originally, “Dominique” was supposed to follow the success of his chart-topping album “WHAM,” which was released earlier in 2025.
Lil Baby described “Dominique” as a personal album that would show a more serious side of him, likely filled with deeper emotions and reflections. The name itself is a nod to his real name, suggesting a more vulnerable approach to his music. He even teased fans with a potential release date earlier this year. However, plans have clearly changed. Fast-forward to August, and “Dominique” is now on hold. In its place, we have “The Leak$,” which sounds like a project aimed right at the dance floors and radio.

While “Dominique” might have offered an intimate look into Lil Baby’s life, “The Leak$” seems to be about getting people excited to party and listen. Although we don’t have the complete tracklist yet, there’s already buzz about a lineup of amazing guest artists. Like his previous album, “WHAM,” which sold over 144,000 copies and included hits like “Dum, Dumb, and Dumber,” the new project is rumored to feature big names such as Young Thug, Travis Scott, 21 Savage, Rylo Rodriguez, and Rod Wave.
While some fans may be surprised that the emotional album isn’t coming out right now, this move is classic Lil Baby. He knows how to read the current music scene and respond with something that gets people talking. He’s in tune with what his fans want. Whether “Dominique” is gone for good or just delayed is still a mystery. Lil Baby is not slowing down. With “The Leak$” on the way and a list of featured artists that sounds like a major concert lineup, 2025 is still set to be a big year for him. Now everyone is waiting to see when the new project will drop and if what we’ve heard so far is any indication, it could be something truly incredible.
