Kendrick Lamar And Baby Keem Perform In Vegas Ahead Of The Super Bowl

This weekend, two of the best teams in the NFL are gathering in Las Vegas to play the final game of the football season. But dozens of other celebrities will be showing up in the city to celebrate the big game all weekend. That includes Usher who is performing at the Super Bowl Halftime Show, Post Malone who is singing “America The Beautiful” and numerous high-profile rap and pop artists who are attending and performing at the annual Fanatics party.

Two more artists in attendance are Kendrick Lamar and Baby Keem. They’re in town a few days early and seemingly for an entirely different reason. Kendrick was booked to perform at the F1 Livery Launch overnight and Keem was alongside him for part of the show. It’s unclear if they have any other plans for the big game or will even stick around in Las Vegas all weekend. Check out the video of Kendrick and Baby Keem performing “Family Ties” together in Las Vegas overnight below.

Kendrick Lamar And Baby Keem In Las Vegas

The last time Kendrick Lamar popped up was during Paris Fashion Week. He popped up at a Chanel show where he was again alongside Baby Keem. The show itself used a piece of unreleased Kendrick music to soundtrack it’s runway. They also used another piece of previously hidden music from the rapper to soundtrack a short film released to accompany the show. Unreleased music makes its way into runway shows often but it doesn’t seem like any indication that either track could be coming out soon.

Kendrick Lamar is also continuing to get massive praise for his life shows. Kid Cudi spoke about his new album INSANO during a recent interview. He specifically cited seeing one of Kendrick’s concerts in France as inspiring some of the theatricality of the record. Kendrick himself also spoke on how special the performance was while discussing the live recording that was turned into a movie. What do you think of Kendrick Lamar and Baby Keem linking up to perform together in Las Vegas? Let us know in the comment section below.

Prime Video Trailer: Kendrick Lamar Executive Produces ‘The Melodic Blue’ Starring Baby Keem and Amandla Stenberg

The Melodic Blue

The trailer for The Melodic Blue is here, and Baby Keem is teaming up with Amanda Stenberg (The Hunger Games) in the Prime Video film, executive produced by Kendrick Lamar. 

The Melodic Blue is directed by Savannah Setten, who was also behind the camera for Keem’s music video for “No Sense.” Unsurprisingly, the film shares the exact title of Keem’s 2021 debut album. The visual aesthetics are elaborate, and the story feels immersed in an exciting world with Keem playing opposite Stenberg as his love interest. 

The Melodic Blue also stars Ja’nai Paye (House Party), Francis Lovehall (Masters of the Air), and Séréna Sy. The film’s trailer, which feels like a cinematic music visual, is the brainchild of the collective pgLang Kendrick Lamar and Dave Free founded.

The official Prime Video logline reads as: “Keem’s internal battle leads us through fragments of memory and temptation as he navigates the depths of The Melodic Blue.”

Jamie Rabineau and Cornell Brown produce the Melodic Blue, and Free is executive producer.

The Melodic Blue hits Prime Video on Dec. 5.

Will Baby Keem’s ‘The Melodic Blue’ Movie Be On Streaming?

Baby Keem‘s debut album The Melodic Blue continues to stand the test of time. Though it was released back in 2021, the PGLang signee just announced a hotly-anticipated companion project for the album. This week, Keem will drop a film called The Melodic Blue to accompany his critically-acclaimed album. He first showed the trailer at Camp Flog Gnaw earlier this month, but today (November 28), Keem dropped the trailer online.

With so many music-related films arriving on different formats this winter, fans are excited to tune in for this one.

Will Baby Keem’s The Melodic Blue movie be on streaming?

The Melodic Blue will be available to stream next month via Prime Video. A trailer reveals that Keem will star in the film, alongside Amandla Stenberg, Shakira Ja’nai Paye, Francis Lovehall, and Séréna Sy. Keem serves as an executive producer on the film, as well as his cousin Kendrick Lamar, and Dave Free. The film was directed by Savannah Setten.

“Keem’s internal battle leads us through fragments of memory and temptation as he navigates the depths of The Melodic Blue,” said a press release describing the film.

You can see the trailer for The Melodic Blue below.

The Melodic Blue will be available to stream on Prime Video beginning 12/5.

Baby Keem Goes To A Place Where ‘You Feel More’ In His Eerie ‘Melodic Blue’ Trailer

In the trailer for Baby Keem’s film, The Melodic Blue, the title is given to a mysterious location described as “a place where all human sensitivities are heightened.” The trailer gets very abstract in a hurry, depicting some of the feverish, surreal imagery we’ve come to expect from the PgLang crew, as well as other Amazon Prime Video productions like Swarm.

Keem initially shared the trailer at Camp Flog Gnaw Carnival ahead of his and Kendrick Lamar’s headlining performance at the festival. The film’s premise was later described in a press release: “Keem’s internal battle leads us through fragments of memory and temptation as he navigates the depths of The Melodic Blue,” it said.

The film, of course, borrows its title from the California-born, Las Vegas-raised rapper’s 2021 debut album. Since its release, Keem released a deluxe edition the next year, then teamed up with his cousin Kendrick to drop a single called “The Hillbillies.” Later, they teamed up as a duo — also named The Hillbillies — to headline Flog Gnaw, where the festival’s founder Tyler The Creator came out to join them during their performance.

Watch the trailer for Baby Keem’s film The Melodic Blue above.

The Melodic Blue premieres on Amazon Prime Video on December 5.

The Hillbillies, more or less an alter-ego duo of cousins Baby Keem and Kendrick Lamar, headlined Tyler, The Creator’s Camp Flog Gnaw Carnival last weekend. Before their set, a mysterious trailer played on the stage’s screen for what we now know to be Baby Keem’s forthcoming The Melodic Blue visual. This morning, November 16, a press release confirmed that The Melodic Blue will be available to globally stream on Amazon Prime Video on December 5.

“Keem’s internal battle leads us through fragments of memory and temptation as he navigates the depths of The Melodic Blue,” the press release teased.

The Melodic Blue first arrived as Baby Keem’s major-label debut album in September 2021, which Uproxx’s Wongo Okon reviewed as “Baby Keem’s attempt to balance his individuality with a reduced dose of his trademarked chaotic energy.” Keem dropped a deluxe version in October 2022.

According to the press release, The Melodic Blue visual was directed by Savannah Setten. It stars acclaimed actress Amandla Stenberg opposite Keem, Shakira Ja’nai Paye, Francis Lovehall, and Séréna Sy. The visual presented by Eerie Times, pgLang, and Amazon Music was co-executive produced Keem, Kendrick Lamar, and Dave Free. Jamie Rabineau and Cornell Brown are also credited producers.
