The Making Of Lil Baby & Drake's "Yes Indeed" With Wheezy | Deconstructed

In late May, Quality Control rapper Lil Baby entered the Billboard 200 at No. 3 with his debut studio album 'Harder Than Ever,' thanks in large part to the Drake-assisted single “Yes Indeed.” The Wheezy-produced track, which peaked at No. 6 on the Billboard Hot 100, is Lil Baby’s most popular song to date with well over 100 million Spotify streams, and was recently certified platinum.
