The wait finally comes to an end
Today, the famously enigmatic and boisterous Baby Keem drops his hastily announced album Ca$ino. Following a five-year gap after his 2021 debut album, The Melodic Blue, Keem delivers (very much-long awaited) twelve tracks which are all ready to be mindfully discovered and dissected. If one knows how to tease an album, Keem stands as a great example of hype-inducement: the album was announced with two short-form intimate documentaries featuring his family and friends, ultimately unveiling the deeply personal message of the LP. Recognisable high-pitched vocals, propulsive flowing beats, Ca$ino spans across the intimate, the clashing and the evolving.
