This swift rise to stardom prompted the release of two additional mixtapes that same year: 'Harder Than Hard' and 'Too Hard'.

Lil Baby achieved a remarkable feat with his first studio album, 'Harder Than Ever', as it surged to an impressive number 3 position on the US Billboard 200 chart.

Notably, the album's primary single, 'Southside', secured the 79th spot on the US Billboard Hot 100, while the second single, 'Yes Indeed', featuring Drake, soared to an impressive number 6 on the chart.

Lil Baby once openly acknowledged his shorter height and explained this was why he chose 2 Chainz as his teammate for the two-versus-two charity basketball match against Quavo and Jack Harlow.

This charity event, which took place in 2021, aimed to raise awareness and provide support to historically Black colleges and universities.

Lil Baby and 2 Chainz formed a dynamic duo on the basketball court, facing off against Jack Harlow and Migos' Quavo in the Bleacher Report's Open Run, sponsored by Modelo Beer.

During his chat with People magazine, Lil Baby said about the game, "It's crazy because when they first sent the list [of potential players], 2 Chainz is who I intended to pick anyway. I'm short and he's tall. I just know he can ball."

"I feel like we can beat them because No. 1, I can run and I can ball. Quaway can ball, but they don't have height. Quavo is kinda long but he's not as long as 2 Chainz, [who is 6"5']," he added.
