Lil Baby recently suggested he has a collab album with Playboi Carti, and now, fans are asking him about it directly.

Lil Baby just released his new album Fresh, but that is not stopping him from thinking about the future. In a recent interview, Baby suggested that he and Playboi Carti could make an album together. They are frequently in the studio, and there are a few songs between the two that can be built upon.

It was an interesting revelation, especially when you consider how different their styles are. While they are both Atlanta artists, Carti goes for a much darker sound. Lil Baby has a Rap Caviar-friendly aesthetic. Meanwhile, Carti goes a bit deeper with his concepts and soundscapes. If you were to ask most Carti fans, they would not be interested in this kind of collab.

Regardless, there are some out there who are still somewhat intrigued. While out at a record store, Baby was asked directly about a potential Carti collab album.

Is The Lil Baby x Playboi Carti Album Real?

The artist gave a head-turning answer as he said: "Yeah, maybe, maybe so." It was one of those responses that isn't a yes, but it also isn't a no. Needless to say, it is at least something that is on Lil Baby's mind.

It's an interesting time for the artist to be considering these kinds of projects. Especially so when you consider the kind of discourse that surrounds his most recent album, Fresh. The project has been getting poor reviews, and the streaming numbers aren't impressive either.

There has been a conversation about whether or not Lil Baby has fallen off. The artist doesn't seem to think so, but the internet has concluded otherwise.

Whether or not a project with Playboi Carti fixes that perception remains to be seen.
