Lil Baby Drops Video for Hard-Hitting New Song ‘Detox,’ Announces New Album
Lil Baby has dropped a new video for his hard-hitting track, “Detox,” and announced his long-awaited new album, It’s Only Me, out Oct. 14.
The visual for the Nick Papz-produced track finds Lil Baby operating a chaotic Boiler Room-esque brokerage — Wolf of Sparks. St, an Atlanta-related nod to The Wolf of Wall Street, is written out on a whiteboard alongside stock market numbers — as well as sparring in a boxing ring and, in a moment of quiet contemplation, teaching at a yoga studio.
A few hours after dropping the “Detox” video, Lil Baby confirmed the title and release date for It’s Only Me on Instagram. The album will follow 2020’s My Turn, and on IG, Lil Baby wrote, “I Kno Its Been Along Time Coming But I’m Coming Harder And Harder.”
“Detox” arrives a week after the release of Untrapped: The Story of Lil Baby, an Amazon Prime Video documentary about the rapper’s meteoric rise. Lil Baby also recently featured on DJ Khaled’s “Staying Alive” alongside Drake, as well as Nav’s “Never Sleep” with Travis Scott.
Lil Baby has long been teasing his much-anticipated follow-up to My Turn, releasing three singles — “Frozen,” “Right On,” and “In a Minute” — in the first half of 2022; however, a new album announcement has not yet materialized.
