Songfacts®:

  • "Stuff" is what happens when Lil Baby and Travis Scott, two of modern hip-hop's leading luminaries, decide to flaunt their opulent lifestyles together. Released on January 3, 2025 as part of Lil Baby's album WHAM (Who Hard As Me), the track is an ode to the finer things in life, if your idea of "finer" involves private jets, designer everything, and enough jewelry to stock a small museum.
  • Travis Scott bookends the track with an intro and outro, delivers the chorus three times, and hands the mic to Lil Baby for a verse while reserving one for himself. Between them, the duo trade boasts about their lavish lifestyles and the expensive stuff they buy both for themselves and their women. The track's focus on wealth and luxury aligns with common themes in contemporary hip-hop, particularly in the trap subgenre.
  • Produced by Wheezy, the track comes packed with all the signature elements of the genre: heavy, distorted synths, thunderous 808s, and a brooding, lavishly dark atmosphere.
  • While "Stuff" marks the first time the pair have collaborated as sole artists on a single track, it's not their maiden voyage together. Their collaborative history includes Scott's "Highest In The Room (Remix)" from 2019 (which also features Rosalia), Lil Baby and Lil Durk's The Voice of the Heroes album cut "Hats Off" in 2021 and NAV's 2022 track "Never Sleep."
