Cousins, hillbillies, and range brothers Baby Keem and Kendrick Lamar have teamed up for another song. “Good Flirts” appears on Keem’s new album, Ca$ino, which is out now. Check out the track, and the rest of the record, below.
The track is a playful and flirtatious message to a supposed ex Keem just can’t quit, set over a downtempo beat. Lamar’s verse finds him hanging on the couch watching Sinners, worshipping his girl’s booty, and wondering if God might be a woman. “Good Flirts” features vocals from the singer Momo Boyd, of the New York-based soft rock outfit Infinity Song.
The song is just the latest of Keem and Lamar’s joint releases, which include “The Hillbillies,” “Vent,” “Range Brothers,” and the Grammy-winning “Family Ties.” Lamar also co-produced a series of documentary shorts Keem released during Ca$ino’s rollout and appeared on-camera for interviews, where he spoke about watching Keem grow into his talent.
“When he started first sending me beats and shit, I was like, ‘OK, I can see you do this,’ and he was really good,” Lamar shared. “What I was surprised at was when he started rapping…I was like, ‘Damn, you actually good at this, too.’ That threw me for a loop, because he understood melodies and patterns more than any young cat that I’ve heard.”
Ca$ino is Keem’s second studio album, and follows 2021’s The Melodic Blue. The largest tracklist features Too $hort and Che Ecru. Keem will support the album later this year on an extensive tour, which will bring him across the US, Canada, Europe, and the UK between April and September.
