Starting off his career with countless doubters, Atlanta star Lil Gotit managed to change people’s opinions rather quickly. Switching his style up and listening to his detractors, the 20-year-old is now viewed as one of the most promising young talents coming out of the hip-hop hub. Fresh off of his collaborative album with London On Da Track, Superstar Creature, Lil Gotit will return next month with the release of Hood Baby 2, the long-awaited sequel to his celebrated HB project.

Revealing the drop date and tracklist for the upcoming body of work, Lil Gotit strayed away from his previous promise to make the collection 35-songs long. Thankfully, Hood Baby 2 will only contain 19 tracks, which is a significant drop-off from his prior reveal. Features include Future, Guap Tarantino, Gunna, Lil Yachty, Lil Duke, Dae Dae, and more. His blood brother Lil Keed makes several appearances, as well.

After the success of his last compilation, this serves as another opportunity for the young up-and-comer to continue opening new eyes to his product, convincing the haters as he grows.

Lil Gotit will be unleashing HB2 on April 10. Take a look at the full tracklist below and let us know if you’re keeping an eye out for it.

This week’s hip hop releases were ruled by the new school. After sporadically dropping a string of music videos for its singles, YoungBoy Never Broke Again delivered his new album, Still Flexin Still Steppin, on Friday. The Louisiana rapper continues to prove that he’s committed to overworking everyone else in the game. Despite his career being hampered by legal troubles, he claws forward with frequent releases that evidence his hunger. Our early favourite from the new project is “Bat Man”, earning it a spot on our Spotify playlist “FIRE EMOJI” this week. 

Another young cat that came through with heat on Friday is Lil Gotit. The Alamo Records signee and YSL affiliate shared a mixtape executive produced by London On Da Track and entitled Superstar Creature. Lil Gotit, who is also the brother of burgeoning star Lil Keed, has undeniably been in his bag. He dropped two solo projects last year, Crazy But It’s True and The Real, as well as a joint EP with producer 10fifty. The fact that he teamed up with one of the hottest trap producers for Superstar Creature is nothing short of a blessing. He spazzes all over London’s beats, especially on “Bet Up” and “No Worries.”

Calboy is another 20-year-old artist who we’ve had our sights set on and his new EP proves again that he’s deserving of our attention. Long Live The Kings boasts features from G Herbo, Lil Baby and Lil Tjay, so you already know we had to put one of those exhilarating collaborations on “FIRE EMOJI.” “Givenchy Kickin” made the cut. 

Last but certainly not least, we pay tribute to Pop Smoke, who we tragically lost on Wednesday. It may sting to listen to an artist’s music shortly after their passing, but Pop Smoke’s makes you feel “Invincible.” Let his voice rumble and roar through speakers this weekend and forever.
