Baby Keem Returns to Stage
Baby Keem electrified fans with a surprise concert at NYC's Webster Hall on March 4 — his first full solo performance in three years. He played signature hits and introduced tracks from *Ca$ino*, plus premiered a new music video during the show. Separately, he and Kendrick Lamar just released the 'Good Flirts' video, showcasing their creative chemistry.
The surprise show in New York City served as a preview for Baby Keem's extensive "The Ca$ino Tour". The tour is scheduled to run from April to September 2026, with stops across North America and Europe. *Ca$ino*, released on February 20, 2026, is Baby Keem's second studio album. The 12-track project features collaborations with his cousin Kendrick Lamar, as well as Too Short, Che Ecru, and Momo Boyd of Infinity Song. This new album is the official follow-up to his critically acclaimed 2021 debut, *The Melodic Blue*. That album debuted at number five on the Billboard 200 chart, solidifying his position as a rising star in hip-hop. *The Melodic Blue* was supported by the hit single "Family Ties," which featured Kendrick Lamar and won a Grammy Award for Best Rap Performance. The success of the album and its singles generated significant anticipation for Keem's next full-length project. Keem and Kendrick Lamar's creative partnership extends beyond guest verses. They co-founded the multi-faceted company pgLang, which serves as a record label, production house, and publishing company. *Ca$ino* was released under the pgLang imprint in partnership with Columbia Records. Ahead of the album's release, Keem shared a multi-part documentary series titled *Booman*, offering a more personal look into his life and upbringing. This, combined with his headlining slot at the Governors Ball music festival in June, signals a major return for the artist after a period of relative public quiet.
