Long-Awaited Baby Keem New Album 'Ca$ino' to Launch on Feb. 20

The wait is finally over! Nearly five years have passed since Baby Keem released his critically acclaimed album, The Melodic Blue. For hip-hop fans, it’s felt like an eternity.

Now, his long-awaited second full-length album is set to drop on February 20. In the past two weeks, Baby Keem has released a couple of short documentaries on YouTube leading up to the big release.

Here's what we know:

• 🗓️ Launch Date: February 20 at Midnight EST
• 🎵 Where to Listen: Digital streaming platforms (DSPs) such as Spotify and Apple Music
  • The album is available for pre-save, and vinyl bundles are accessible for pre-order.

Baby Keem's Ca$ino Tracklist Features Kendrick Lamar & More

According to the tracklist released for Baby Keem's Ca$ino, we'll be getting features from Kendrick Lamar, Momo Boyd, Too Short, and Che Ecru at a minimum.

Here's the tracklist:

1. "No Security"
2. "Casino"
3. "Birds & the Bees"
4. "Good Flirts" (featuring Kendrick Lamar & Momo Boyd)
5. "House Money"
6. "I Am Not a Lyricist"
7. "Sex Appeal" (featuring Too Short)
8. "Tubi" (featuring Che Ecru) (Omitted)
9. "Highway 95 Pt. 2"
10. "Circus Circus Freestyle"
11. "Dramatic Girl"
12. "No Blame"

Since its release, the 'Tubi' track was actually left off the album. Not sure quite why, but who knows if there was trouble with sample clearing or Keem just decided to leave it off.

Another thing to consider is the possibility of a deluxe edition of the project; maybe he'll add 'Tubi' later. With 12 tracks over a five-year span, fans may want more songs.

Baby Keem YouTube Performance & YouTube Livestream

Baby Keem kicked off last night's festivities with a live concert streamed on YouTube, which started around 11:00 p.m. EST. He started with 'No Security' at the beginning of the album and went through all the tracks one by one, down to the final track 'No Blame'.

The physical set of the performance blended simplicity and futurism, reminding me of a stage Kanye West would create.

Will Baby Keem's 'Ca$ino' Debut at Number 1?

The first question is, will Ca$ino debut at number 1 on the hip-hop charts?

According to Kalshi, 'Yes' is currently in the 20s, while 'No' is in the 70s.

❌ This means most people trading on this market think it won't go to number 1.

On February 11, its highest percentage and peak were at 67.3%. However, it's sitting in the mid-20% range a day before the album is set to launch.

What Will Be the First Week Sales Be for Baby Keem's Ca$ino?

Here's what the markets looked like on Thursday, prior to the relase of Ca$sino:

Here's what the numbers look like on Friday:

First-week sales are one of the most important measures in the rap industry. Obviously, long-term sales matter as well, but instant gratification is a notable indicator of a successful project.

According to updated Kalshi odds:

• 📈 The 5,000-album mark is around 94%.
• 📈 The 20,000-album mark is around 64%.
• 📉 The 50,000-album mark is at 5%.

Since streaming services have become the new norm, there's a difference between sales and streams.

According to the RIAA, 1,500 streams equal one album sale in the rap business, based on chart rules.

A few additional details to keep in mind:

• Baby Keem announced he'll be streaming the album on his YouTube page an hour before the midnight release.
• Additionally, vinyl and deluxe product packages are available on his website, which will boost overall album sales.
