- Baby Keem is an amazing rapper with a very interesting come up. Before his popular hit singles such as Orange Soda, Gang Activities, Hooligans, and Family Ties, many were under the impression that he was simply this underground artist who was starting create some buzz off of a few albums. The strange thing is that he got recogonzied really fast - gaining early recognition from Drake, Tyler the Creator, Travis Scott and many more. Things began to make sense when people did some digging and found out his cousin was none other than Mr. Kendrick Lamar. A few interviews don't match his later ones. In one interview iwth Pigeons and Planes - he tried to make it seem as if he got connected with TDE by simply sending them some beats to their emai;l. Where as in another interview, he claimed to have the gotten the connection thru Kendrick Lamar taking interest into his music and wanting to, quote, "Show everyone in the studio". Nonethelss, it was a succesful journey, as Baby Keem was much more respected since his foundation was already built by the time people figured it out. Kendrick Lamar is becoming a great leader, and making use of his skillsets to bring other great artists like, Baby Keem, to the spotlight they derserve.

Baby keem is cousin’s with Kendrick Lamar…that’s it. End of video
Fr
tbh lol
LMAO. That part.
Thanks I was really debating watching it I’ll save my time 😅😅
😵
Although he was seemingly an industry plant, his credits on various high quality records made it clear that he had talent and he proved that. I see him similar to how Travis put on Don Toliver.
There's nothing wrong w being a plant when you're actually talented, we all need to be pushed
Great video bro
Facts ! Kendrick simply saw the potential, and used his leadership and skillsets to help him get the spotlight he deserves.
Aye man thanks for watching! Much appreciated 🙏🏼
@@louaista he was on 2 tracks of Kendrick's latest album. I appreciate what's unique but I don't like him
wait, we're calling people who are successful because of labels "plants" now? that's not a plant lol
@@pjspott5824 arguing with these guys isn’t even worth 😂😭 these folks don’t even understand how this industry works
It just depends on who sows the seeds. I'm all for a plant grown by an established artist or industry, but if it's just the random out of the blue John doe then 🤨
Kendrick didn't even know he was making music for some years after Keem started making music and generating buzz. Kendrick saw an opportunity to uplift another member of his family who had already did the work for himself and his own buzz going. I'd say this more of a huge assist from Kendrick than Keem just being an "industry plant"
i think the issue was he lied
How did the majority of your audience not know about keem before family ties? He was putting out great music before. His album or mixtape whatever u wanna call it before MB was filled with great songs. That were pretty popular among hip hop fans.
Alot of people don't know artists before they go mainstream. How is that a surprise?
Why is the idea that he was relatively unknown before he was mainstream surprisingly
Even orange soda was popular on TikTok
@@judestinks popular on tik tok doesn't necessarily mean mainstream
The only song I knew about him was "orange soda" before he blew up and in my opinion Family Ties and Orange Soda are his only good songs, no shade tho
Yeah he had the connections and advantages over lots of people but respect to him for not just jumping off the bat off kdot plus he does actually have the talent and will do great things this coming decade
if u dont got the connections, become the connector.
@@kimhornhem5399 plus being a lil baby, lil Durk, polo g superstar type rapper doesn't happen to everyone else do you should really get every change you should get too fans yes I get that it could be considered cheating but if you an artist it's different
Having one of the most influential musicians as a cousin, will make it so that you have a lot more opportunities and strategies to get successful. Nothing suspicious about it
Bro he produced a lot of Kendrick Lamar and many other rappers’ songs before he was even famous for making his own. he isn’t a plant, baby Keem is very talented and has worked hard for what he has.
Baby Keem the goat industry plant
fr, he's so talented idc if he an industry plant 🤣🤣
Him and kid laroi are tied

@@user-pc6ly1yq1c bro... 🤦♂️
@@louaista pp
I found out about Baby Keem from Die for my Bitch and to this day it’s one of my favourite projects. I sorta fell out from listening to Keem when I got more into rap and other genres but honestly he has what it takes. I wouldn’t call him the next Kendrick though.
Also love the False Prophets instrumental in the background
Such a fire album. 🔥 good catch! I actually refer to it as the Joey Bada$$ "Waves" instrumental 👀
@@louaista only the real know lol
@@jonpriesthood It ain’t even either of their beats only the real “real” know this
@@dominiquesmith7680 Freddie Joachim cleared it with Joey under a mutual ownership and attended Jimmy Fallon when he performed it for the first time back in 2012. So while Joey didn't make it, it is technically "His". First at least.
Connections + talent = baby keem
Keem is so talented man and young, I’m looking forward too see what’s next for him
Me too! Especially when the GOAT Kendrick is his mentor. Daaang. That's powerful 💯
@@louaista He’s a great mentor!
@@MaxGreenSkiFilms a cousin can’t be your mentor? Lmao k-dot helped him get famous. You’d be a fool to think he didn’t mentor him on how the game works
@@Tp4r239 bro what???????
@@MaxGreenSkiFilms that’s my b, I read your comment in the wrong context lmao
I get the industry plant thing but no artist can buy the love of fans
I discovered Keem when he had dropped Orange Soda, then I heard an unreleased he had with Kendrick. after that I just started digging and found out about his other projects...pure heat🔥🔥
Baby Keem worked hard asf and then uncle Ken helped him raise even more, no need for more explanation.
Imagine making a whole video to put the puzzle pieces together just to find out he’s related to Kendrick Lamar 😱😱
his rise is pretty standard. he was making music had a song that went big on tiktok. he didn’t drop for a while other than a small set of singles which didn’t do that much and then dropped a song with kendrick which was also kendrick’s first song in a long time which had tons of hype and since keem had a record of good music and then dropped even more good music so people who hear him for the first time are gonna keep listening cause they like all his stuff. not like some artist who have a popular song but the rest of discography is so much worse and just different that people don’t stick around
I think he didn’t want to tell people he’s related to kendrick from the jump. he wanted to make a name first before revealing it.
I went to a big steppers show and baby keem did amazing he definitely has what it takes
i went to the one in Toronto and it was amazing
Yeah same for lausanne lol
I heard him after he dropped orange soda, which is still one of my favorite baby keem songs
2:03 Johnny don't wanna go to school no more, no more
Johnny said books ain't cool no more (no more)
Johnny wanna be a rapper like his big cousin
Kendrick Larmar - xxx
😂😮wow you nailed it...
Damn man
Goosebumps reading this 😩
I’m a rapper, but I’m not very good yet. Baby Keem’s rise inspires me to keep making my own music. I want to make music as popular as his one day. I have to keep practicing.
You should get yourself a mentor to superspeed your progression! My mentor helped me generate an insane work ethic, get rid of all distractions, and helped me keep a positive attitude along the horrifying journey of becoming a content Creator 🙏🏼 if you're ever interested, hit my IG @louaista and DM me! I'd love to chat w you about it
You said the same thing about Kendrick.
Do yourself a favor and go back and do your research on the history of this genre
Orange Soda/Gang activities and Hooligans are the best Baby Keem songs and songs of discovery
He definitely had his ways of getting to the top with connections from his cuz and other people
But his music attracted us
He is too good❤️
KEEM RECREATING THE SOUND OF RAP 4 SURE❗❗❗
😂😂😂😂
He really is.
It doesnt matter how you get on..if you make good music you'll last and all keem does is make good music
Keem extremely talented, so young, and clearly obsessed with his craft. I think he’s gonna be a legend 10 years from now, but he’s pretty distinct from his cousin so who knows how that’ll manifest
When your related to greatness you relate to greatness..end of debate!!!
Never even heard of this guy 😂 till I seen this pop up on TH-cam 🤣
I first found out about Keem with Orange Soda. Keem is a talented artist and Kendrick is a W cousin for helping him propel to the level of success that he deserves currently.
This guy is so corny he just states the obvious 😭
😂😂😂
The rise of all rappers and singers is suspicious...
Ayyyyyyy NoCap my fav artist!!!!! Thanks for shouting him out to😭😭
The ironic part is that the people that think his rise is suspicious are the ones that did it
He was already talented and after the Kdot collab, thats when a majority of people knew of him amd made him blow up
Maybe suspect but he is 50 cent and 3 phone baby keem always love your videos
Nocap😂 thanks for watching bro! Much appreciated 🙏🏼
2 phone baby Keem, fuck you mean
I’m pretty sure that ain’t Kendrick’s only cousin that made music. He gotta get some credit of his own.
In some cases You can actually see who up next through looking for “type beats”… you tend to come across hard beats with random names and check out the artist..
No one makes it without being a plant any more. They own everything again.
Baby keem gotta be my most favorite industry plant and Tbh idc about shit like that anyway I just wanna hear good music 🤷🏾♂️
If he was whack he would've fell off, the nigga seized his moment and made the best from it.🔥🔥
Industry plant is a dumb term because everybody in the industry has connections at different levels. As for the family tie to Kendrick, everybody has family, cousins, siblings, etc... If that's all it took then we'd see a lot more relatives making it big. Those connections only go so far, you better have the connections, money, hard work, talent, AND luck behind you. It's all relative.
Great content just subscribed
A lot of people write off “industry plants” but to me if their music was actually bad, nobody would actually listen, go to their shows etc.
Baby Keem is one of the guys that the online underground scene considers a modern day GOAT and I just don’t understand it.
Some people argue that if Keem didn’t have connections, he would have got big either way, but I digress. I constantly listen to underground artists that make music that far outshines Keem and those guys still havent made it
The reality is that talent isn’t going to make someone blow up and for some reason, the underground scene doesn’t accept this. The truth is that connections and marketing will make one become big and that’s why Baby Keem is in the situation he is in
Having talent is one thing, have connections is another. You ever heard the saying "it's not about what you know, it's about WHO you know..." Perfectly apples to Keem😂🔥 Thanks for watching Btw!
@@louaista no problem! Also, do you think you’ll ever cover how scammy underground rap is? From faking streams, to fake nice rappers, to verified Insta accounts taking advantage of underground rappers by making them pay $200 to appear on a mixtape that the verified Insta has no plans to ever promote, etc
I think it’d fit up your alley of content! I’m underground and can not tell you how much “fake it to make it” is running rampant on the underground. I’ve tried calling out this behavior on Reddit and people have told me I’m just jealous
Like I ain’t jealous. What’s there to be jealous of, someone with a non existent fan base as their streams are botted? Like my fan base has drastically grown the last 6 months because I’ve actually tried to learn how to market
Who are some of these artists that far outshine baby keem?
What’s ur artist I won’t judge just interested?
@@IssacXMartinez Immortal Technique, Dave Melv (Damko Joints Vol2), Alsaif (Check out runnin), Alter Ego (check out Time), Kennakin (check out Mosh Pitt), need I go on?
Regardless of talent or not. I find it hard to get behind artist that had a easy come up compared to everyone else. The music will never hit the same because you can hear the grind and pain in other artists music
Baby keem was already popular with orange soda.
Keem will be one of the biggest fs
I wish people knew baby keem earlier. He’s such a good artist
1:21 Bro didn’t take the 500,000 dollars 💀
You forgot to mention that he used to be a Minecraft TH-camr
Bro 💀
This thumbnail has me dying *“HE LIED TO US…”*
He wrote and produced stuff for Kendrick before he blew up. He’s just him. He not suspicious. Yes he Kendrick’s cousin but dawg have y’all heard the stuff he makes? He’s legendary
Y'all ain't heard of orange soda? That was everywhere party wise
He didnt lie he just never confirmed it. He was giving more than enough hints though.
But the answer was always there in your Eyes in his Musicvideos. People were already commenting on their Cousinship. On Twitter too
Orange soda has been a New York City classic for years.
Yo, keep up the amazing work! I just wanted to let you know that you were a huge inspiration for me to start my channel. Thanks bro.
Being a family member of Kendrick and entering rap, no duh he became famous instantly
He’s Kendrick’s cousin, that’s his rise, that’s it.
keem makes good ass music… end of story
The thing is... Baby Keem is talented and has been making for years (produced a song for Kendrick as a teen for TPAB). Now that rap has blown up in the past 20 years, people who never cared about Black music are only now riding the wave. We, the culture, know and watch because we grew up in this music. Doubting Black artist's authenticity while far less impressive (and Black) acts crowd the space we made is getting old. If you weren't A1 from day one, just say that.
My man all i gotta say is unscrew that bottom holder looks goofy having an overhead with it
i didn't even know they were cousins his music was just fire
I found out Keem because of that Drake co-sign way before 2020
The black community has to many people doing much or in the entertainment industry.
Of course he got talent but he still a industry plant
I love this comment 😂
i remember i found out about baby keem in 2017 when my friend showed me gang activities then I heard orange soda and looked up the music video and found a bunch of videos talking abt how he was possibly kendricks cousin.
I think i even commented something like "give him a year and hes gonna be massive" like 3 years ago on gang activities. I was almost right lol
He definitely has what it takes. I heard orange soda on an ad for like 2 seconds and had to immediately look up the track. I think he'll just go up from here honestly.
Anyone else see Jay Rock post Keem on his story awhile back and start listening out of curiosity
MOSHPIT still playing in my shuffle on max vol
Why when I look up baby keem “Kendrick’s” diss tracks for drake pop up??? I’m just asking all you Kendra fans why
If you show that your are immensly talented, the plant label will disapear. Its basicly gone by now and keem shows time and time again he deserves all the recognition he is getting.
Its simple. He's Kendrick Lamar's cousin, Kendrick put him on to get popular, that's it.
you should’ve put them big ass shoes he posted in twitter when you said bigger shoes to fill
He deserves his success tho and if Kendrick can do this keem, imagine how pglang will go
Man, Kendrick is an awesome mentor to have.
It's his weird looking nose. It must have Rudolph the red nose reindeer powers.
It's so suspicious you would think he's related to someone famous...
the melodic blue is a masterpiece can't wait for his next project.
keem is that good, doesnt matter what else was going on.
Who cares , most people who are famous are plants. At least his music bopppas
Figured him out after orange soda popped off on tiktok, then a few months later saw a dude talking abt keem saved it then watched it again like 4 months later and started listening to baby keem to the point where he was one of my most listened to artist in 2020 and 2021 honest was my 2nd my listen to song and he was the 3rd most listen to artist in my wrapped
baby keem obviously took off thanks to cousin kenny. however, his music is fire af, die for my bitch was nice and the melodic blue contains a bunch of great songs.
I actually first heard of him from his donda feature
bro going on this tangent and I'm still confused
Great video bro
He already created his own style of rap… Classical Rage🤌🏼
The phrase and meaning of “Bobs your uncle” comes to mind.
My brother introduced me to Keem's music with 'Locked In' from hearts and darts
If you have connections and talent why not capitalize? Keem has the talent that even if he didn't have connections to Kendrick he would probably still make it. He is very unique in his style and delivery. I went to the Mmbs tour and honestly got more out of keems performance than Kendricks
Cardo found out about him early, and produced a lot for him a lot. And Keem did have some motion songs on sounds from bad habits and die for my bitch. He also had some fye videos
No lie, I haven’t heard of dude until Durag Activity. Did Cardo produce a whole album for him or just some songs?
@@Hamsolo98 the sound of bad habit is produced by cardo except for two songs and even then they have a lot of other colabs, like family times and ect..
@@deshaymarley7275 bet it up. Thanks g, I knew family ties was but I wasn’t hip about the rest, I’ll check it out. Cardo’s one of my favorite current producers.
@@Hamsolo98 he one of my favorites rn too! His Projects with Larry June go crazy
@@deshaymarley7275 dawg, I’m sayin! His stuff with Payroll never misses either, not sure if you checked it out. Cardo’s mixtape was fire too!
dont care if hes an inidustry plant. man makes dope music
This how it went when Kdot hear Keem: “ay bro don’t put your music out, you just inspired me for this new album… let me cook up for a while and I’ll hit you back.” Kendrick then finished DAMN with Keem influence
Baby keem could have sacrificed babies to satan for his fame and i would still bump orange soda
While we are talking about rappers, isn’t the backround music waves by Joey bada$$?
Yes he does. Because Savior interlude is a sign of growth.
Why can’t y’all just recognize talent? This video is a stretch buddy ….next.
For all you people saying "its cause he's related to kendrick"... that's really not true.
Baby keem had like atleast 3 projects out already, with a huge following, before it was known that he and kendrick were cousins.
Love how you condense a potential 20 minute video into 6
Future Kendrick? Bruh.. I refuse to listen to anybody with Baby in their name. This new generation got me FUCKED up.
yooo what song instrumental did u first loop in the background? took me back to middle school
Found out about keem from a song called hooligans
I was put onto baby keen when vent got leaked
Keem said in an interview that he didn't want people to know that he was Kendrick lamars cousin until the time was right.
Kendric made him known
