Baby Keem Returns Big With Kendrick Lamar on New Album ‘Ca$ino’

Baby Keem gears up to cash in on his sophomore album Ca$ino, featuring Kendrick Lamar, and announces a major global tour.

When Baby Keem steps back into the spotlight with his new album, the stakes are sky-high. The young rapper, known for his sharp lyricism and magnetic presence, is set to drop his sophomore effort titled Ca$ino on February 20, 2024. Fans and critics alike are buzzing about this release, especially with a special feature from his cousin, the legendary Kendrick Lamar, on the track “Good Flirts.”

A Sophomore Album Long in the Making

If you’re anything like me, Ca$ino feels like the next big chapter in Baby Keem's meteoric rise. His 2021 debut, The Melodic Blue, wasn’t just a warm-up; it was a platinum-certified masterpiece that sold over a million copies in the U.S. alone. That album introduced us to his distinctive style, blending melodic flows with razor-sharp rap verses, and it even snagged a Grammy for Best Rap Performance thanks to the single “Family Ties,” another collaboration with Kendrick Lamar.

With Ca$ino, Keem promises to build on that foundation, bringing fresh energy and new collaborators to the table. Besides Kendrick, the album boasts appearances from Bay Area rap legend Too Short and vocal talents Momo Boyd and Che Ecru, adding layers of depth and variety throughout.

Behind The Scenes: A Glimpse Into Baby Keem’s Vision

If you want to get a taste of Keem’s creative world, there’s a nine-minute behind-the-scenes film available that dives into the making of Ca$ino. It’s a rare peek into how the rapper crafts his work, his inspirations, and the vibe he’s channeling this time around. This visual insight pairs perfectly with the album’s release, enhancing the whole experience and building anticipation for what's next.

From Studio Silence to Tour Lights

Baby Keem has been relatively quiet on the live performance front, with his last major gig dating back to November 2023 at Tyler, the Creator’s Camp Flog Gnaw festival in Los Angeles. But the silence is about to break. Starting April 15, he’ll hit the road for nearly 40 shows worldwide, kicking off in Raleigh, North Carolina.

Highlights from his extensive tour schedule include big festival dates like the Governors Ball in New York on June 5, and London’s All Points East festival in late August, where he’ll share the stage with Tyler, the Creator and Clipse. It’s a thrilling prospect for fans who’ve been waiting to see him light up the stage again.

For the eager ones, there’s even a Cash App Card presale available to secure tickets early.
