Billboard’s Friday Music Guide serves as a handy guide to this Friday’s most essential releases — the key music that everyone will be talking about today, and that will be dominating playlists this weekend and beyond.
This week, Lil Baby has more than a few outtakes, Luke Combs gets the girl dads teary-eyed, and GloRilla is eviscerating her doubters. Check out all of this week’s picks below:
Lil Baby, The Leaks
The “odds and ends” release is a time-honored tradition in popular hip-hop, although Lil Baby’s The Leaks is more than just a mishmash of long-circulated songs and fleshed-out snippets: for one, “Let’s Do It” (featuring Playboi Carti and Skooly) sounds like a hard-knocking potential hit, and the opening run of solo cuts showcases why Baby remains a vital A-lister in the genre.
