Baby Keem’s ‘Ca$ino’ Album: Release Date, Tracklist, and Kendrick Lamar Collaboration

Baby Keem Announces New Album ‘Ca$ino’ – Featuring Kendrick Lamar & More

Get ready! Baby Keem is set to release his highly anticipated new album, Ca$ino, on February 20th via Columbia Records. Following the success of his 2021 breakthrough, The Melodic Blue, Ca$ino promises a fresh sound and a stellar lineup of collaborators, including Kendrick Lamar and Too $hort.

A Glimpse Behind the Scenes: The ‘Ca$ino’ Trailer

Keem recently dropped a nearly ten-minute trailer offering a compelling look into the making of Ca$ino. The trailer masterfully blends studio footage with intimate home videos and insightful interviews with his family. Notably, Kendrick Lamar, Keem’s second cousin, shares poignant reflections on their shared history and creative journey.

“I understood the hardship before he was born—just the history of our family in general. We don’t call ourselves the hillbillies for nothing,” Lamar explains in the trailer. He further elaborates, “This is a story of a warfare environment and a warfare, psychologically, to try and change our generational curses.” This hints at a deeply personal and introspective album.

‘Family Ties’ and Beyond: The Keem & Lamar Connection

Baby Keem and Kendrick Lamar have a long-standing and fruitful collaborative history. Fans will remember their work on tracks like “Family Ties,” “Range Brothers,” and the Grammy-winning “The Hillbillies” (which cleverly samples Bon Iver). Their synergy is undeniable, and expectations are high for their contribution to Ca$ino.
