Lil Baby Sets The Record Straight Ahead Of New Album 'Fresh'

Lil Baby is gearing up for his next full-length outing, *Fresh*, dropping Nov. 6, and he pulled up to *Popcast* to address the chatter surrounding his recent run. Coming off his Pharrell-produced single "Dead Fresh," the Atlanta titan chopped it up with hosts Jon Caramanica and Joe Coscarelli about branching outside his usual circle of hometown beatmakers to tap into the wider pop ecosystem. In the sit-down, Baby pushed back on any narrative suggesting he lost a step, breaking down how superstardom tends to shrink your world in real time. He also got candid about where things stand with peers like Drake, Lil Durk, and Gunna, reflecting on the heavy baggage his generation shoulders while forcing himself to create outside his comfort zone. He really doesn't have anything left to prove, but he's doing it anyway. Watch the interview below.
