Too Hard is Atlanta-based rapper
Lil Baby's fourth mixtape of 2017, following
2 the Hard Way (with
Marlo), the
DJ Drama-hosted
Harder Than Hard, and debut
Perfect Timing. As with previous releases, the mixtape arrives courtesy of Quality Control Music, who began working with
Baby after being recommended by
Young Thug. While
Thugger doesn't appear on
Too Hard, his influence is felt, although
Baby isn't as boisterous or eccentric. Instead, he focuses on honing his storytelling skills, relaying his chilling, firsthand tales of street violence and drug abuse. Guest MCs include
MoneyBagg Yo,
Gunna, and
Lil Yachty.
