Baby Keem | Before They Were Famous | Who Is Kendrick Lamar's Cousin?

Before They Were Famous - A podcast by Michael McCrudden

Baby Keem is an American rapper, songwriter, and record producer who’s provided production and additional vocals for some of the biggest projects of the past couple of years including “The Black Panther” soundtrack executive produced by Kendrick Lamar and Jay Rock’s “Redemption” album. After loaning his talents out to other artists, Keem has finally become a force in his own right in terms of pioneering his own, original sound. When this Las Vegas-raised young man first started releasing his distinctive, humorous, and undeniably catchy hooks under his given name, he kept his face hidden from view. But once he rechristened himself Baby Keem he emerged from out of the shadows and started dropping videos revealing his identity to the public, including this clip directed by Hollywood star, Shia LaBeouf. Despite being willing to finally reveal what he looks like, my man Keem has still been highly reticent to do any on-camera interviews and not all that much is known about his past. But today I’m going to pull back the curtain as best I can to let you guys in on his story.
