Baby Keem’s Ca$ino: baby keem, Kendrick Lamar link for “Good Flirts”

baby keem has released Ca$ino, and the new collaboration with Kendrick Lamar, “Good Flirts, ” is drawing attention for its laid-back tone and prominent guest verse. The pairing adds to a string of joint tracks and arrives as Keem prepares to support the record on an extensive international tour.

Baby Keem and Kendrick Lamar team up

“Good Flirts” appears on Ca$ino and features both Kendrick Lamar and singer Momo Boyd. The track is described as playful and flirtatious, built on a downtempo beat that foregrounds restrained, sultry vocal deliveries from Keem, Boyd, and Lamar. In his verse, Lamar watches a program named Sinners, praises a partner’s physical attributes, and wonders if God might be a woman—images that anchor the song’s mix of casual intimacy and curiosity.

The collaboration continues a string of pairings between the two cousins and collaborators, which previously included “The Hillbillies, ” “Vent, ” “Range Brothers, ” and the Grammy-winning “Family Ties. ” Lamar also participated in the album rollout behind the scenes, co-producing a series of documentary shorts and appearing on camera in interviews where he reflected on watching Keem’s growth as an artist. Lamar praised Keem’s early beat-making and later rapping, noting a surprise at Keem’s melodic and rhythmic instincts.

Standout tracks highlighted from Ca$ino

Recent write-ups have singled out multiple tracks across the record. “Good Flirts” is noted for its chill, low-riding beat and the chemistry among its three vocalists. Other standout moments include a cut that pairs Keem with Oakland veteran Too $hort over a strip-club beat; a track titled “I am not a Lyricist” that frames Keem’s storytelling voice alongside personal family struggles; a love song built on a pitched-up Feist sample; and a track that uses casino fanfares and primitive effects to evoke a Nevada upbringing.

Several songs on Ca$ino engage explicitly with Keem’s recent personal history: loss in the family, eviction, and a parent’s gambling debts are cited as themes that thread through the album’s more vulnerable moments. Those themes appear alongside more playful, saucy numbers, producing a wide-ranging record in tone and sound.

Album notes, interpolation and tour plans

Ca$ino is Keem’s second studio album, following his earlier full-length. The album’s largest tracklist includes guest appearances from Too $hort and Che Ecru. One notable production detail is that Kendrick Lamar interpolates Common’s “The Light” on the album.

Keem will support Ca$ino with an extensive tour scheduled to bring him across the United States, Canada, Europe, and the UK between April and September. If the tour proceeds as planned, it will extend the album’s promotional window through multiple markets and likely increase live exposure to the new material.

• Key takeaways: “Good Flirts” is a downtempo highlight; the album balances vulnerability and swagger; Kendrick Lamar’s roles span feature, co-producer of rollout content, and an interpolation presence on Ca$ino.

Unclear at this time are further single plans or additional guest appearances beyond the credited features. The record is available now, and the forthcoming tour will be the next major stage of Ca$ino’s rollout.
