Lil Baby shakes off the doubters with Middle Of The Summer, the fresh single he just surprised us with today, November 26, 2025, tying straight into his long-teased project THE LEAK$ via Quality Control and Motown, and it lands like a heatwave flex, that signature trap pulse reminding everyone he’s still ice-cold even when the temps climb.
Baby’s always been the guy who turns whispers of a fall-off into fuel, and this one’s him doing just that. He cooked it up in those marathon Atlanta sessions earlier this year, over a Wheezy beat that hits with rolling 808s and these crisp hi-hats that build like tension on the block. It’s got that melodic trap core he owns, but with sharper edges—flows switching from introspective to urgent, unpacking the empire-building grind, exes circling back, and the numbness that comes with big checks.
Themes cut deep into loyalty tests, from showing bros the ropes to shaking curses for his granny, all while spinning blocks and dodging the feds. The hook’s a straight earworm, that “spin the block” chant flipping from romance to retaliation, and lines like rocking three Cartier bracelets as a tell hit with that quiet brag. No guests here; it’s Baby solo, raw and reflective, like he’s talking through the rearview on a Cybertruck run to grab his kids.
This drops as a lead into THE LEAK$, that 17-track compilation he’s been building around old leaks turned official gems, clocking about 50 minutes of reworked heat from the vault. The concept’s smart—reclaim the bootlegs that haunted him since 2019, blending them with new polish to bridge his early hunger to this calculated boss era. Tracklist teases heavy hitters like Young Thug on Feels Good for Slatt vibes, Playboi Carti twisting up Let’s Do It, G Herbo adding grit to All On Me, and a wild Lil Yachty, LUCKI, Veeze combo on Get Along. It shifts from high-octane openers to these soul-searching cuts like this one, all over producers like Murda Beatz and TM88 keeping the sound Zone 6 tight.
Baby’s owning 2025 like it’s his playground, fresh off WHAM’s No. 1 splash earlier this year with 140K units out the gate, but he’s been open about the leaks messing with his head. At 30, fatherhood and those arena runs have him more locked in, trading some wild energy for wisdom that lands heavier, proving success means grabbing it while you dodge the pitfalls.

Lyrics of Middle Of The Summer by Lil Baby
[Intro]
Yeah, Yeah
(Turn Me Up Five)
Tryna Say I Was Fallin’, Now Take A Look At They Faces (Okay)
Turnin’ Up On My Ex, She Tryna Treat Me Like I’m Basic
You Can Tell If She Mine If She Rock Three Cartier Bracelets (I Swear)
Everyday Buildin’ An Empire, They Tryna Build Cases (I Got Beef With The Feds)
Life Is Eight, But I Eat Mo’ Chicken, These Niggas Ho Trippin’
I Don’t Gotta Have Security, Long As The Bro With Me
When You Get This Type Of Money, You Gotta Lose All Feelings
I Showed Brodem How To Handle Business But They Still With It
I Know Chalance Since He Was In Elementary School, He Still With Me
I Was Sleppin’ In The Car That Hit With Me And All The Addicts
I Was Happy For A G-shock Watch, Now It’s A Patek
Hope You Know Success Don’t Fall In Your Hand, You Gotta Grab It
I Was Deep Inside A Dope Hole, I Was A Lost Soul
I Wasn’t Even A Hundred Pounds, I Put The Hood On My Shoulders
Thuggin’ A Hundred Pounds, I Hit The Hood And Took Over
I Was Young, But I Went Gone, Ain’t Never Been No Pushover
Papi Ain’t Poppin’ No Percs, It’s Been Three Years, He Still Sober
They’ll Be Happy If I Stop, But I Can’t Stop, I’m Still Growin’
Fell In Love With A Thot, But It’s My Fault ’cause I Know Better
Middle Of The Summer In Atlanta, I’m Still A Cold Nigga, Yeah [Chorus]
She See That I’m Goin’ Up, She Tryna Spin The Block
One Of The Members Just Got Shot, We Gotta Spin They Block
We Got Shooters Every Corner, They Can’t Spin Our Block
Spin Our Block, Spin Our Block
She Tryna Spin Her Block, She Can’t Spin Her Block
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah (Spin Her Block) [Verse 2]
Ain’t Been Gettin’ Sleep Much, I Can’t Let My Dreams Die
Rappin’ Ass Kingpin, Gotta Keep My Team Fly
I Made It, Granny, I Broke The Curse, The Streets Took The Time For The Worst
I Was Broke, I Wanted It Bad, I Still Got That Same Urge
She Hate When I Drank Syrup, Keep Me On Track, I Thank Her
Fame Came And Changed Up, Even Lost The One I Love
Now I’ma Be The Same Person?
Pulled Out The Cybertruck Today Just To Get My Kids’ Car
Ain’t Gon’ Say It, But Ask These Niggas What I Did For ’em
I Broke All Type Of Records And I’m Still Goin’
Niggas Hate, They Try To Hide It, But It Is Still Showin’
I Been Standin’ Out In The Way, I Don’t Deal With ’em
And I Feel Better [Chorus]
She See That I’m Goin’ Up, She Tryna Spin The Block
One Of The Members Just Got Shot, We Gotta Spin They Block
We Got Shooters Every Corner, They Can’t Spin Our Block
Spin Our Block, Spin Our Block
She Tryna Spin Her Block, She Can’t Spin Her Block
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah (Spin Her Block)
[Outro]
The Last Time We Talked Was The Last Time For A Reason
Yeah, Yeah
