Key Takeaways
- Lil Baby told Hot 97 he and Playboi Carti could release a joint album “one day” because “we do make a lot of music,” but he offered no concrete plans.
- The comments follow Baby’s Nov. 6 release of Fresh, a 17-track album featuring Future, Young Thug, and Rylo Rodriguez—but no Carti.
- The two previously teamed up with Skooly on “Let’s Do It,” whose December 2025 music video has drawn roughly 11.6 million YouTube views.
Lil Baby and Playboi Carti might have a collaborative album in the future, according to the Atlanta rapper.
During a recent interview with Hot 97, Baby revealed that he and Carti have recorded plenty of music together, leaving the possibility open for a full-length project.
"We could have an album one day though, 'cause we do make a lot of music," Baby said in a clip shared by Kurrco on X on Tuesday (Nov. 10).
Although Baby didn't provide any additional details or suggest that an album is currently in the works, his comments indicate the two have been spending time in the studio together.
The revelation comes just days after Baby released his fifth studio album, Fresh, on Nov. 6 through Quality Control Music and Motown Records.
The 17-track project features appearances from Future, Young Thug, and Rylo Rodriguez, but Carti is noticeably absent from the tracklist.
The album is led by the Pharrell Williams-produced single "Dead Fresh," which reached No. 18 on the Billboard Hot 100.
While Carti didn't appear on Fresh, the two rappers have previously collaborated.
In December 2025, Baby released the official music video for "Let's Do It," featuring Carti and Skooly. The visual has since accumulated approximately 11.6 million views on YouTube.
The two were also previously spotted filming a music video together in Atlanta, further fueling interest in their musical partnership.
Carti, meanwhile, has been keeping busy with his own projects. The rapper released his long-awaited third studio album, MUSIC, in March 2025, nearly five years after dropping Whole Lotta Red.
His producer F1lthy has also claimed that Carti's next project, BABY BOI, is already finished.
This isn't the first time Carti's name has been attached to a potential joint album. During a 2022 interview with XXL, he discussed the possibility of finally releasing a collaborative project with Lil Uzi Vert.
"Uzi is working on mad music right now. I don't know if he's serious about a lot of things. But I hope one day we can change the world with that, for sure," Carti said.
