DaBaby and Roddy Ricch have been working on the visual to their hit "Rockstar."

"Rockstar" is sitting pretty in the No. 1 spot of Billboard's Songs of the Summer chart, so it's only fitting that DaBaby and Roddy Ricch shoot a music video for their hitmaker. For those of you who are TikTokers, you can't swipe through a few videos without hearing clips of this fan favorite. The Blame It On Baby track recently received a Black Lives Matter remix, further intensifying the hype around the single. DaBaby hinted that there's a visual on the horizon, and we wouldn't be surprised if we get a new music video among the other anticipated Friday releases.

Over on Instagram, DaBaby shared a photo of himself and Roddy Ricch in an open field. Roddy is seen sitting at a bright red piano while DaBaby positioned himself on the ground, holding an electric guitar. "You ready? 🎬" is all DaBaby wrote in the caption. Over 660K likes later, it's clear that fans are poised to see what these two have been up to. Even DJ Khaled had to drop off a fire emoji in the comments.

Recently, DaBaby shared a post on social media where he listed off a few blessings. "Blessed enough to have people in my life that love me for who I am and accept my flaws without judging my character," the rapper said. "Blessed enough to see staring at my pretty ass daughter as I type this shit. Blessed enough to be a successful black man." He's had a monumental ride this past year. Check out his photo below.
