Big shoes to fill, Atlanta Rapper crowning himself the Lil Wayne of this era.

Lil Baby Says He's The Lil Wayne Of This Rap Generation

Quality Control rapper carries that energy into his latest verse for EST Gee’s “5500 Degrees,” which also features 42 Dugg and Rylo Rodriguez.

During the track, released on Wednesday (July 21) Lil Baby confidently dubs himself the Lil Wayne of his current generation. “I’m the Wayne of this new generation, ni**as foogazi,” Baby raps on the track from EST Gee’s album Bigger Than Life Or Death. “They can’t f**k with us no type of way, these ni**as too lazy / I’m cut from a different type of cloth, I don’t know who raised ’em.”

Baby and Wayne are no strangers to collaboration, having worked together on tracks including “I Do It” and “Forever.”

And while Wayne may be considered the G.O.A.T. by his fans, Baby’s fans have also called him a G.O.A.T. “I never call myself a G.O.A.T., I leave that love to the people,” he raps on “Emotionally Scarred.”
