Drip Harder is a joint project from the dexterous and melodic Atlanta, GA rap superstars Lil Baby and Gunna. Lil Baby released four mixtapes before issuing his Gold-certified full-length debut, Harder Than Ever in 2018. His cinderella story in rap has unfolded through the vision of his godfathers, co-CEO's of Quality Control Music Kevin "Coach K" Lee and Pierre "Pee" Thomas, who incubated the talent in the young rapper and kept him off the streets after he was released from jail. Lil Baby joined Motown in 2017 through the label's joint venture with Quality Control Music. Gunna, who hails from College Park, GA, the same hood as rap superstars like 2 Chainz, is signed to Young Thug's YSL label and released his mixtape Drip Season 3 in 2018. He also served as an opener for Travis Scott on his Astroworld: Wish You Were Here Tour. Executive produced by Turbo, Drip Harder's lead single "Drip Too Hard" peaked at No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100 becoming the highest-charting song for both rising artists. Drake, Young Thug, Lil Durk and Nav all make guest appearances on the album.
