Gambling can bring out the highest of highs and lowest of lows, but Baby Keem is back to roll the dice. Keem returned on Friday (Feb. 20) with his Ca$ino album, his first project since 2021’s The Melodic Blue.
Ca$ino boasts 12 tracks in total, which find Keem joining forces with his cousin Kendrick Lamar, Too Short, Momo Boys and Che Ecru for collaborations.
Keem ended the nearly five-year drought with an album announcement for Ca$ino on Feb. 10, which sent his fanbase into a frenzy. “Took your time bro this better be a classic,” one person commented.
The Las Vegas native has released an accompanying multi-part Ca$ino documentary on YouTube, which featured Keem in the studio with Kendrick working on “Good Flirts.”
“Walking in the party, I don’t feel nobody/ What the f—k,” K. Dot raps. “Is it fake, is it love, probably/ I smell something.”
Part one features Keem’s family members and Lamar describing the 25-year-old’s upbringing. “I understand the hardships before he was born. Knowing his mom, that’s my first cousin,” Lamar said. “I already knew what she was going through, just the history of our family in general. We don’t call ourselves the hillbillies for nothing.”
Kendrick continued: “Section 8, welfare … This is a story of a warfare environment and a warfare psychologically trying to change our generational curses.”
Baby Keem released his The Melodic Blue debut album in September 2021 and the LP peaked at No. 5 on the Billboard 200. Keem also released a deluxe for the album in October 2022 featuring assists from Lil Uzi Vert and PinkPantheress.
Keem will embark on a tour later this month, in support of his sophomore collection. Produced by Live Nation, The Ca$ino Tour opens in North America on April 15 in Raleigh, NC, and hits major cities including Los Angeles, New York, Montreal, Dallas and Atlanta, before coming to a halt June 7 in Boston, MA.
The jaunt then shifts to Europe and the United Kingdom from Aug. 31 in Cologne, Germany, and includes shows in Berlin, Paris, Amsterdam, London, Glasgow, and more, before wrapping up Sept. 18 in London.
