Lil Baby Flips Classic Drake & JAY-Z Collab While Teasing Summer 2022 Takeover
Lil Baby has positioned himself as an elite rapper in the Hip Hop game, and it seems he gets better with each passing day. The Atlanta native is busy working on new music for the summer, but he recently took a break to drop off a snippet for hungry fans.
On Monday (March 28), Baby shared a preview of a new song on Instagram that may be a part of the new music releases the rapper teased a few weeks ago. The track finds The Hero rapping over a beat that samples Drake and JAY-Z’s classic 2013 record “Pound Cake” off Nothing Was The Same.
“I be in the loop/She be in the group/Brodie want her friend, throw the alley-oop/You turn something into nothing bro, I’m living proof/How can I lose when we the who’s who?” Lil Baby raps on the song.
“I’m Just Warming Up #Thissummermines,” he added in the caption as Gunna, DJ Khaled, Juelz Santana and NBA stars Ja Morant and Trae Young flooded his comments section with their excitement.

The video comes just a few weeks after Gunna issued a warning to his peers about stepping it up in the summer because he’s dropping new material. Lil Baby heard the call and announced on Instagram he was accepting the challenge.
“This summers mine,” the 4PF rapper wrote alongside a photo of him sitting with massive piles of cash stacked on his lap.
Lil Baby doesn’t even need to drop a new album if he didn’t want to thanks to the success of My Turn. His 2020 project has now spent a remarkable 85 weeks in the top 10 of Billboard’s Top R&B/Hip Hop Albums chart, breaking Post Malone’s Hollywood’s Bleeding record.
