Baby Keem: Influence of Kendrick Lamar, Childhood, and the Women in His Life | Apple Music
Музыка
Ebro Darden sits down with Baby Keem for an update on everything the rapper and producer has been working on this past year. Baby Keem explains that he never stops thinking about music, even when he is watching Netflix or playing video games. His inability to step away means he never stops creating, but he is careful not to push out music just for the sake of it. His attention to detail, unique upbringing and influence of friends like Kendrick Lamar, Don Toliver, and Lil Uzi Vert are all pillars of his recent hits like “Issues,” “Gorgeous,” and “South Africa.” Listen to Baby Keem on Apple Music: apple.co/BabyKeemYT

Baby Keem is another genius who is light years ahead in the industry. For sure he will reach new dimensions within the creative community, hip hop and consciousness as an artist.
Thank You for the shout out Looking forward to see BABY KEEM here in SA HIP HOP ❤
I can definitely hear a genius within… A whole lot of Kendrick vibes but still his own stamp & identity to it. Very curious to see what direction he will take with his music.. which I can only assume but what I love is that his artistry is unpredictable..

His first interview to now is very spectacular. He’s grown so much!
He’s a quiet intelligence. I’m glad I finally see the artist behind the art.
This is the best interview keem has done. Some of his older interviews aren’t as good bc the interviewee is not matching his energy but it was very refreshing to watch this interview
Watching Keem grow from 2018 to now has been incredible. I wouldn’t say I’m a day one fan but I’ve been around for awhile now. He just always thinks outside the box and it’s so rare to see someone so young he this talented
the ceiling is truly endless for keem ! already collabed with two of his inspirations ! Melodic Blue was an instant classic ! keem keep up the good work brodie can’t wait to see what the future holds:)

Baby Keem is my favorite new artist that I found this year. I loved Melodic Blue and I hope to see more great stuff in the future from him. Loved the production quality of the album, the Kendrick features, and music videos. Hearing about some of the background that went into making it is great, too.
3 phone Baby Keem🔥🐐
Loved this he inspires me so much as a kid that loves music and football❤️
I truly see Keem doing big things in music he’s talented and locked in you can tell and feel the energy
Bro so ahead of his time excited to hear those songs tucked in the vault
Just saw this man show live! The future is bright for Keem fs

I love hearing artists that study their craft, seeing which artists influenced them🙌🏾🙌🏾🔥
didn't know he was a producer, I have even more respect for him now
too excited to see how his career's gonna grow
I love how he embodies Kanye’s Humor within Raps, Kendricks skill and Travis’ movements in production (and ye’s)
Something he touchwd on ( the feeling) thats a really deep convo it goees deep into the spiritual aspect and a lot of people dont realise the power of music
he is what hip hop needs!
Keem is so fire, can’t wait for the rest of his career
This is gonna be a hot take.. but Kendrick’s new flows and vocal inflections kinda sound like Baby Keem is the one influencing him👀

Bro I totally forgot he’s performing on that tour. I’m going to the Nashville show. Even more excited now.
That's real for him to recognize one of his first foundations of a "fanbase" and then name the song after them. Nowadays, most recording artists really don't embrace being an emerging artist anymore. It's the age of influence with the hypersensitive access to things that make them feel entitled.
