Baby Keem (2026)

8.1/ 10

“Ca$ino”

“Worth the wait? Baby Keems most personal album to date, ‘Ca$ino’ is an 11 song tracklist consisting of heavy heartfelt cuts spaced out by, even heavier triumphant horn bangers all reflecting on his upbringing and personal struggles endured in the city of Las Vegas, Nevada. Keem delivers in a new ways than in his in his debut LP “The Melodic Blue” with bolder, more in your face production as well as vocal inflections, as seen on “Circus Circus Freestyle”. Baby Keem also explores the deeper side of his vocal range on tracks such as, “I am not a lyricist” where he, respectively, almost eerily resembles the great Andre 3000, and the track is then carried out with a more melodic soulful outro. Overall, the highs & lows Im feeling for this album are: Highs: No Security into Ca$ino, The somber sounding sample on ‘No Security’ that leads into ‘Ca$ino’ with a beautiful transition of casino noises could have easily been one song had the artist desired. If these two were one song it would be one of my favorite 6+ minute song tracks in quite some time. However these songs are highs on the album in their own, I recommend playing them together. Good Flirts (Ft. Momo Boyd & Kendrick Lamar) “Momo Boyd is the Best feature on Ca$ino” - sincerely me. Kendrick Lamars verse is very fitting on the song, and verse does not lack quality despite what many tik tok experts may think. Lows: Highway 95 pt 2: Maybe it will grow over time. While the song did not lack topic or emotional value to the album, the repetitiveness and tone Baby Keem brings to this track is just not for me. The last minute of ‘Circus Circus Freestyle’: Why. Overall Im feeling about an 8.1 on this. What are you feeling? Remember its only been a couple days. Who knows how we feel later! Be kind. Peace”
