Nothing has been able to stop Lil Baby’s successful album “My Turn.” The album reach incredible height during the start of the pandemic. Released in February of 2020, the album easily debuted at number one on the Billboard 200.

Months later in May, the deluxe edition was released and resulted in continued success on the Billboard charts.

The single itself reach double platinum status.
