Couldn’t make it through wham, hopefully this is better.
I've been skeptical every time I see this second album get brought up, especially for a February release; but I'll tune in wherever it makes it out.
Cap he not going to drop this fast even tho he said it I guarantee it
I mean i also really didnt believe him first time he said but he is doubling down
He is indeed a rapper and rappers love lying so lets see
What was your goal going into this album?
Well, I'm dropping two projects back to back: WHAM, then I’m coming with Dominique, my self-titled album. WHAM is more like my young nigga street s***. Then I show the transition I'm taking in Dominique, the more emotional and more vulnerable side I never really gave my fans. So what I hope to accomplish out of this WHAM album that just came out is, I kind of feel like people be having me f***ed up. So in this album, it's kind of like, “Hey stop playing with me.”
What should people know about the next project, Dominique?
Just more heartfelt and more direct with talking about certain subjects. I just was damn near warming up again on WHAM, and Dominique is more strategic. Dominique is more of a grown sound. Lil Baby is something I created. But I kind of grew out of that stage. WHAM is a persona I created, and Dominique is a persona I created. WHAM is in the middle of Lil Baby and Dominique. So Dominique going to be like the more 30-year-old me.
Why did you want to go with the self-titled album immediately after WHAM?
I initially was going to drop the self-titled album first, but I had to backtrack because even though I've grown and I had a dramatic change, I ain't really bring the fans along with me. So they don't really know what I went through or what I'm going through. So to just go from Lil Baby to Dominique, I feel like that would've been too big of a jump for them. So I had to come back and tighten it up a little bit and ease their way into it. It’s two different albums, but something like a double album.
Why didn’t you want to make this a double disc, instead of two different albums?
I just don't like double discs. I just feel like it'd be too many songs at one time. I don't really know nobody’s double disc album that I really loved
He did 50K in pure sales. There were no physical copies available, so they were all digital downloads.
My Turn did under 10K in pure sales first week and It’s Only Me did 6.5K in pure sales first week. Both didn’t have a digital download exclusive deluxe.
Therefore, it’s safe to assume that most of the 50K of pure sales for WHAM were comprised of digital download purchases, and that the first week total would’ve been around 95K to just under 100K without them
nah there were phyicals

Actually, i think he was gonna do like 120k before he released the digital deluxes, and those helped him get to 145k. So i think he was crossing over 100k regardless, is there a way to to look for the dfifference of actual album sales and bundles?
Billboard posts the breakdown sometimes but they did not for lil baby
Is this some kind of FUTURE & HNDRXX attempt?
Because I don’t think it’s gonna sound great split up from an artist like him.
We’ll see tho. Interesting choice.
I hope so

Nobody bought those. There were physicals for My Turn and It’s Only Me too and they both did under 10K in pure sales first week.
The pure sales for WHAM went from 50K in week one to 400 (four zero zero) in week two. It was 100% the digital deluxe exclusive.

Yes but both albums will probably end up sounding similar. Instead of being two distinct styles.
