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.\u00a0<em>WHAM<\/em>\u00a0is in the middle of Lil Baby and\u00a0<em>Dominique<\/em>. So\u00a0<em>Dominique<\/em>\u00a0going to be like the more 30-year-old me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Baby added: \u201cI initially was going [to drop] the self-titled album [first], but I had to backtrack because even though I\u2019ve grown and I had a dramatic change, I ain\u2019t really bring the fans along with me. So they don\u2019t really know what I went through or what I\u2019m going through.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The \u201cDum, Dumb and Dumber\u201d star continued: \u201cSo to just go from Lil Baby to\u00a0<em>Dominique<\/em>, I feel like that would\u2019ve 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\u2019s two different albums, but something like a double album.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/hiphopdx.com\/news\/lil-baby-cancels-dominique-album-the-leaks\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lil Baby has revealed that he has cancelled his much delayed album Dominique in favor of a new project entitled The Leak$.
