The year of DaBaby continues. On Tuesday (Aug. 4), the chart-topping rapper is set to release a deluxe edition of his album Blame It on Baby. Taking to social media, he revealed the cover art and announced that the project will arrive with 10 new tracks.
“TUESDAY Blame it on Baby #DELUXE #10NewHITS,” he wrote in the caption. “Don’t tell the label I told you this but it’s not a ‘Deluxe …it’s #ReallyABrandNewAlbum.”
In April, DaBaby released his sophomore album Blame It on Baby featuring Megan Thee Stallion, Future, YoungBoy Never Broke Again, and A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie. The album debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and spawned the Roddy Ricch-assisted hit “Rockstar,” which remains No. 1 on the Hot 100 for a seventh week.
Baby is also celebrating his three nominations at the 2020 MTV VMAs including Artist of the Year and Best Hip-Hop.
Despite the lockdown, he continues to grind. He recently shared footage from his 24-hour trip to L.A. to shoot the deluxe album cover and a music video. “Last minute Flight to LA just to shoot the Deluxe Album Cover, Shot a music Video, and made it to 2 big meetings & returned to Charlotte all in one day,” said Baby.
It was only a matter of time until DaBaby released a deluxe edition of his 2020 album Blame It On Baby. With seemingly every other artist in music releasing bulked-up versions of their 2020 projects after a few months — or even just a week, as in the case of Lil Uzi Vert’s deluxe edition of Eternal Atake/Lil Uzi Vert Vs. The World 2 — it was inevitable that Blame It On Baby would get the same treatment. After all, it was one of 2020’s most successful projects, debuting at No.1 despite a lukewarm reception from fans and spawning a No.1 hit single in “Rockstar” featuring Roddy Ricch.
DaBaby is growing rather comfortable at the top of the Billboard charts this year, as he became one of only a handful of artists to land three songs in the Hot 100’s top ten thanks to “Rockstar,” his feature on Jack Harlow’s “What’s Poppin” remix, and his feature on Pop Smoke’s “For The Night.” Not bad for an artist who started the year defending himself from criticism that he never changes his flow and claiming that he would lose millions of dollars as a result of COVID-19 precautions.
Blame It On Baby deluxe edition is due 8/4 via Interscope Records.
