Lil Baby, Harder Than Ever [📷: Quality Control Music, LLC / UMG Recordings, Inc.]“Brand new whip got no keys / Tailor my clothes, no starch, please / Soon as I nut, you can gon’ leave / Got M’s in the bank, like, ‘Yes, indeed’.” Grammy-winning rappers Lil Baby and Drake joined forces for a surefire rap banger, “Yes Indeed.” Despite a modest runtime – under two-and-a-half-minutes in duration – “Yes Indeed” ended up being a breakthrough hit for  Lil Baby, reaching no. 6 on the Billboard Hot 100 and earning multiplatinum certification from the RIAA. Besides elevating Lil Baby’s profile, the trap production by Wheezy and BRackz is a selling point.  That beat goes hard, yet the keys – lighter, like a fluty mellotron – give “Yes Indeed” a smoother vibe.  The contrast within the backdrop is awesome.

Of course, Lil Baby also drops the lit chorus.  Also, shout out Drake too, who drops the first verse!

“Young Money Records, the Army, the Navy

They ran me ten thousand, I threw it like Brady

The foreign is yellow like Tracee and K.D

I trusted my niggas, they never betrayed me.”

Again, “Yes Indeed”!
