Baby Keem is officially back.

The Las Vegas rapper’s debut album The Melodic Blue dropped in 2021 — and while that might seem like a long time, he’s remained somewhat active during that gap, appearing alongside his cousin Kendrick Lamar on the Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers song “Savior,” the duo single “The Hillbillies” and on the Fred again.. track “leavmealone” back in 2023, respectively. And one can also assume that the battle that popped off between Drake and Kendrick in 2024 might’ve affected pgLang’s release schedule a bit.

Hitting DSPs at midnight on Friday (Feb. 20), Ca$ino is a super-personal affair, peppered with some stuntastic pimpery with his hometown of Vegas as the backdrop. It’s a bit of a heavy swing for a sophomore album — and he tells you that he’s been in the lab “switchin’ up the category” on the project’s intro “No Security.” In the lead-up to release, Keem released a three-part documentary about his life up until this point, and his family member and label boss was able to see that his younger second cousin had some talent at an early age. “I got a thousand f—in’ cousins, man,” he said. “A thousand friends that rap and do music and s—t. Out of all of them, he was the best one at 14-15 years old.”

He was right — because about three or four years later, 2 Phone was dropping songs and tapes on the Internet when he was in his late teens. And while Ca$ino is a bit heavy at times, we still managed to pluck some fun lines from the likes of Kendrick, the legendary Too $hort, and of course Keem.
