If Drake and Lil Baby are truly working together on a joint project, it’s a fitting way to tie together a trilogy of projects involving Atlanta trap rappers whose careers he’s helped immensely, and the culmination of the growing chemistry between him and Baby . In 2018, Drake helped fuel ATLien’s rise to stardom with his feature Yes Indeed, which led to a series of similar collaborations such as Staying Alive and Wants And Needs Terrible hours 2. Baby was originally scheduled to appear on Toosie Slide, but Baby was busy with other commitments at the time.
