				<div class="et_pb_text_inner"><p>Baby Keem delivers his break out album &#8220;The Melodic Blue&#8221; on Kendricks PG Lang label. A label that still remains a mystery. At first listen I couldn&#8217;t help but think of how much this kid sounds like Kendrick Lamar. That is until Kendrick starts rapping. The fact that he&#8217;s Kendrick Lamars baby cousin it kind of makes sense. Before hearing the album but after seeing the &#8220;Family Ties&#8221; visual, I saw a tweet that said &#8220;Baby Keem sound like one of Kendrick’s voices that escaped &; grew its own body&#8221;and I died laughing. But songs like &#8220;Issues&#8221; and &#8220;Gorgeous&#8221; he slips out of that sounds and gives us a taste of his true identity. The vocals are smooth yet still lit. At this point he&#8217;s starting to fit in with rappers like MadeinTYO as well which is two totally different lanes in Hip Hop. Seems as if he&#8217;d spazz on a track like &#8220;Uber Everywhere&#8221; but could still harmonize a little bit and get as lyrical as Kendrick as a plus.</p>

<p>The one thing I hate about this album is the one thing I actually love. There has got to be some science behind the order of tracks in hip hop that enhances a fans listening experience. Track #3 always seems to be the track that sticks out the most to me on most albums that i actually enjoy. If track #3 isn&#8217;t my favorite song right off bat something isn&#8217;t right. Not to say there aren&#8217;t albums that didnt follow this structure that I still so happen to love but it&#8217;s all too common for my own listening experience. But track #3 &#8220;Scapegoats&#8221; was so fxcking raw. The sample caught me early. Making the &#8220;That beat nasty&#8221; face. Then Keem come in going crazy for all of 30 seconds. Then the beats switches up to some theatrical ass production with a spanish lady speaking and I&#8217;m a little mad that the sample went off but this shxt starting to sound hot AF too. Her accent so deep the vibes just felt like netflixes &#8220;Narcos&#8221; and BAM, it goes off in like 15 seconds. Fam!!!!! You was going crazy my boi. Why&#8217;d you stop. Lbs.</p>
<p>&#8220;<span>You know I&#8217;m borderline more than rich, had to tame the orphanage / </span><span>Navigated two bxtches, textin&#8217; them the coordinates / </span><span>Two phones literally, house party loiterin&#8217;/</span><br /><span>Deals so dummy had to let several lawyers in /</span><span>One day, I&#8217;ll tell you how my life was unfortunate /</span><span>For now, I&#8217;ll tell you how fast these Porsches get&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span></span></p>
<p><span>START THAT OVER!!!!!!! So in my opinion I think the album is dope. I think he will stand out from Kendricks shadow if you choose to listen to the rest of his music. But I do look forward to Kendrick having someone who can go back and forth with him on a track. And this isn&#8217;t a case of swagger jacking in my opnion. Ya&#8217;ll remeber when we thought Young Thug sounded like Lil Wayne. Now how many sons does Thugger have on his own? Ya&#8217;ll remeber the &#8220;Oh Ok&#8221; song. I remeber thinking that whole song was just Thug and when I found out that Gunna and Baby was on it I was flabbergasted. At that point I hadn&#8217;t explored Gunnas catalog enough but I was already a Lil Baby fan. I can remember hearing &#8220;My Dawg&#8221; and exploring his catalog and not even hearing a </span>similarity to Thugger up until the &#8220;Oh Ok&#8221; song. So with that being said I believe there is hope for Baby Keem to propser as one of raps next biggest stars.</p>
