Lil Baby may already be projected to be next week’s Billboard 200 champion with his latest album, ‘WHAM,’ but his latest bid to ensure a victory over stiff competition from the likes of Bad Bunny and others came courtesy of releasing an unexpected extended edition of the LP.

Expanding its original tracklist by four songs (’99’ featuring Future, ‘Idol’, ‘Running This Sh-t’, and ‘My Shawty’), the updated version hit digital shelves just days after the first iteration of the opus.

To amplify awareness of ‘WHAM’ even more, Baby took to ‘The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon’ on Tuesday (January 7) to gift the live treatment to the project’s fan favorite track ‘I Promise.’
