Album: HOW TF IS THIS A MIXTAPE? Album by DaBaby

DaBaby’s forthcoming 14-track mixtape, How TF IS THIS A MIXTAPE, that’s slated to release on Sept. 27. The music is now available for preorder, with the track list expected to drop on Sept. 23.

Earlier this year, DaBaby revealed that one of his rap peers offered to get into fake beef with him to capitalize on the popularity of drama at the time thanks to Kendrick Lamar and Drake's back-and-forth.

DaBaby explained that on Shaq and Adam Lefkoe’s The Big Podcast two days after J. Cole apologized to Kendrick for dropping a diss track to him, the North Carolina artist got a call from a “certain rapper” with an odd offer.

“He said, ‘Man, all the back and forth between J. Cole and Kendrick got me fired up bro,’” said DaBaby. “I feel like we should diss each other.”

“We cool behind closed doors, we should diss each other,” continued DaBaby, doing his best impression of the rapper before revealing he turned him down.

“I’m not gonna disrespect nobody that I got respect for…because of what come with it on my end from the world,” DaBaby added. “I said, ‘I appreciate you thinking about me reaching out…I appreciate it, but nah bro. I got respect for you. I’m gonna pass on that.”

In another part of the conversation, DaBaby also revealed that he understood why Cole took back his diss to Kendrick. “If it ain’t sitting well with him, you know, then I feel like, you know, it take a certain type of man, a respectable man, to leave it where it’s at right there in the beginning and not be swayed by people on the outside who, the second something go left, they gonna jump ship on you anyway,” he said.
