Rapper/producer/songwriter Baby Keem has contributed to projects by some of rap's finest while also working on his own stylistically shifting music. On mixtapes like 2019's Die for My Bitch, he explored melodic rap, trap rhythms, old-school beats, and even woozy synth sounds on his breakthrough single, "Orange Soda." His debut studio album, The Melodic Blue, arrived in 2022, landing in the Top Ten of the Billboard 200 and spawning the Grammy-winning Kendrick Lamar-assisted single "Family Ties." He and Lamar teamed up again for 2023's "The Hillbillies."
