It's been quite the year for Lil Baby. The rapper is currently in the standings as the next biggest export out of Atlanta. The rapper teamed up with Drake for his first top 10 single on the Billboard Hot 100, "Yes Indeed." Since the song's release, it became one of the biggest street anthems to drop this year. In early June, the single went gold and a few weeks later, it's reached another RIAA achievement.
