And even if they break up over some pettiness like Rich Gang, Drip Harder will be remembered as a moment that let hip-hop know it had two new superstars."

"[9] Online hip hop publication HotNewHipHop commented: "As a groupable entity, Lil Baby & Gunna have done enough to earn themselves a hierarchical position in the pecking order.

But more importantly, Drip Harder, a presumed team-building exercise, has ironically given rise to an even greater sense of autonomy within the group, for Lil Baby in particular.

"[5] For Consequence of Sound, Tommy Monroe complimented the stylistic production and the chemistry between the artists: "On Drip Harder, Lil Baby and Gunna make it hard to determine who shines brightest because both deliver their best most of the time.

However, Monroe added "the contrasting relationship between the beat and the YSL artist’s flow makes the song sound longer than it is and consequently drag.

"[6] In light of the mixtape's release, Pitchfork and Stereogum dubbed Lil Baby and Gunna "the best rap duo in years".

Baby and Gunna are both melodic rappers, and they’re both studio rats, guys who will crank out one song after another in quick succession.

"[11] Drip Harder debuted at number four on the US Billboard 200 chart, earning 130,000 album-equivalent units (including 9,000 copies in pure album sales) in its first week.
