“Wassam Baby” is available now via UMG
After weeks of teasing, Rob49 drops his highly anticipated new single “Wassam Baby” with a surprise feature from fellow NOLA Legend and Grammy Award-winning rapper Lil Wayne via Rebel Music/Geffen Records. The single features Rob49 coming in hot with a rapid-fire beat and braggadocious swagger talking about his ability to drive the ladies wild. Wayne joins with his infamous lighter flick, for a breakout verse with serious wordplay in typical Tunechi fashion.
“Wassam Baby” arrives after the long-awaited release of Travis Scott’s “Topia Twins” music video featuring Rob49 which dropped a few weeks prior. The single also follows another successful collaboration, “Mama” featuring Skilla Baby and Tay B, which has continued to go viral, the song having over four million streams, and making the Top 20 added at urban radio nationwide, his first, as well as being in heavy rotation during HBCU Homecomings and locker rooms nationwide.
The rising star has continued to bring the heat this fall as every rapper’s favorite rapper, from being featured on and brought out to perform on Travis Scott’s “Topia Twins,” to a surprise performance with Sexxy Red, and features on singles with NLE Choppa, Dess Dior, Fredo Bang, Mudbaby, and more. Additionally, he’s been on an HBCU performing at sold-out Homecoming shows throughout the US.
Earlier this summer Rob49 linked with Roddy Rich, Da Baby, G Herbo, and more on his critically acclaimed 4God II album which dropped in June, followed by 4God II Deluxe which dropped in August.
Before that, Rob made waves with his 2022 mixtape Welcome to Vulture Island — a critically acclaimed project featuring Vezzo, Babyface Ray, Doe Boy, Landstrip Chip, and Lil Baby — to say nothing of the project being introduced by legendary Cash Money Records founder Birdman. Now with “Mama,” Rob underlines his status as one of hip-hop’s hottest new talents.
