Baby Keem made a big splash in 2019 with his DIE FOR MY B-TCH mixtape, and now the California rapper returns with the release of his debut studio album, The Melodic Blue. The 16-track project includes features from Travis Scott and Don Toliver as well as three appearances from his cousin Kendrick Lamar.
Keem spoke to Kendrick and i-d about delivering on expectations. “People don’t know that you on some new sh-t till you start doing new sh-t. And if you can’t do the new sh-t then they ain’t gonna know that you on the new sh-t and they’ll keep asking for old sh-t, but I think everybody knows now that I’m on some completely different sh-t.”
