Lil Baby has set November 6, 2026, as the release date for Fresh, his fifth studio album. The Atlanta rapper revealed the project’s 17-song tracklist in an Instagram carousel on Friday, October 16, with a whiteboard listing song titles and two confirmed collaborations taking center stage: “All My Patnas,” featuring Future and Young Thug, and “In Your Head,” featuring Rylo Rodriguez.
The announcement puts a date on the next chapter of Lil Baby’s album run and brings three prominent Atlanta artists together on one track. The whiteboard post also identified “Dead Fresh,” the Pharrell Williams-produced single released earlier this year, as part of the album.
A whiteboard reveal sets the countdown
Lil Baby’s Instagram carousel showed a whiteboard bearing the Fresh song titles. Its caption read, “It’s That Season,” followed by “Countdown Starts Now. 20 Days.” The album is scheduled to arrive November 6.
The format kept the announcement focused on the music: a handwritten tracklist, the release date, and the names attached to select songs. Rather than publishing a separate announcement with a complete digital track listing, the whiteboard gave fans a first look at the album’s planned sequence while leaving the post’s caption to mark the countdown.
The reveal identifies a 17-track project, though only a selection of titles and features are central to the announcement. “All My Patnas” is the most prominent collaboration disclosed so far, pairing Lil Baby with Future and Young Thug. “In Your Head” features Rylo Rodriguez, while “Dead Fresh” carries Pharrell’s production credit.
For listeners following Lil Baby’s recent releases, the album brings together collaborators connected to different parts of his catalogue. The Future and Young Thug pairing reconnects the three rappers after their appearance together on “Dum, Dumb, and Dumber,” a track from Lil Baby’s 2025 album WHAM.
Future and Young Thug reunite with Lil Baby
The upcoming “All My Patnas” continues a recording relationship between Lil Baby, Future and Young Thug that has already produced a significant charting release. “Dum, Dumb, and Dumber,” from WHAM, reached No. 16 on the Billboard Hot 100. The three artists’ new collaboration on Fresh makes their reunion one of the album’s clearest points of connection to Lil Baby’s previous work.
Future and Young Thug have worked together across several releases. Their first collaborative album, Super Slimey, arrived in 2017. They have also joined forces on tracks including “Sup Mate” and “Money on Money.” On WHAM, their guest appearance alongside Lil Baby placed the two collaborators within the same track again; “All My Patnas” brings that combination back for Fresh.
The pairing arrives as both artists continue their own release activity. Future’s most recent solo release was The Real Me, which came out in July. Young Thug is planning a follow-up to his 2025 album UY SCUTI and has said the next project will lean toward R&B. Their appearances on Fresh add a new collaboration to that wider run of work.
Rylo Rodriguez is the other confirmed guest named in the reveal. His feature appears on “In Your Head,” adding another Atlanta-connected collaborator to the album’s announced lineup. The announcement has not indicated whether other guest appearances will appear across the 17 tracks.
“Dead Fresh” anchors the album’s rollout
The inclusion of “Dead Fresh” ties the tracklist announcement to a single that introduced the album era earlier this year. Produced by Pharrell Williams, the song was released ahead of the project and is now confirmed as part of Fresh.
The track’s rollout connected Lil Baby’s music with a fashion-forward visual presentation. Its video, directed by Kid Art, places the rapper in a series of designer looks and frames the song around his rise from modest circumstances to a more established position. The single’s arrival offered an early indication of the album’s direction before Lil Baby shared the larger tracklist.
With “Dead Fresh” on Fresh, the album will include at least one previously released song alongside newly revealed titles. The tracklist post does not disclose whether the single will appear in its original form or as part of a different album arrangement.
The Pharrell production credit also gives the project a distinct creative connection beyond the announced rapper features. The track is the first collaboration between Lil Baby and Pharrell, and its release earlier in the year marked an early step in the Fresh rollout.
Following WHAM and The Leaks
Fresh follows Lil Baby’s 2025 mixtape The Leaks, which arrived 12 months after WHAM, his fourth studio album. The two projects form the immediate context for the new album: WHAM established the latest chapter in his album catalogue, while The Leaks followed as a separate release before the announcement of Fresh.
Young Thug appears on both WHAM and The Leaks, according to the projects’ release information. His presence on Fresh would extend that recent connection, while the addition of Future on “All My Patnas” connects the new album to the trio’s earlier WHAM collaboration.
The move from WHAM to The Leaks and now Fresh also gives the November release a clear place in Lil Baby’s recent output. As a fifth studio album, it will follow the 2025 album and mixtape with a new 17-track project and a confirmed November date.
What is confirmed for November 6
The information revealed so far establishes the album title, release date, track count and several key credits. Fresh is scheduled for November 6, 2026, and the whiteboard reveal presented 17 song titles. The named guests are Future and Young Thug on “All My Patnas” and Rylo Rodriguez on “In Your Head.” “Dead Fresh,” produced by Pharrell Williams, is also included.
The announcement does not provide a full digital tracklist or confirm additional collaborators. For now, the whiteboard serves as the clearest preview of the album’s structure, while the three named songs outline some of its key connections: a major reunion with Future and Young Thug, a Rylo Rodriguez feature, and the single that began the Fresh rollout.
Lil Baby’s countdown began with the October 16 post, with the album scheduled to arrive three weeks later on November 6.
