Cousins, hillbillies, and range brothers Baby Keem and Kendrick Lamar have teamed up for another song. \u201cGood Flirts\u201d appears on Keem\u2019s new album, Ca$ino<\/em>, which is out now. Check out the track, and the rest of the record, below.<\/p>\n

\u201cGood Flirts\u201d plays out like a playful and flirtatious message to a supposed ex Keem just can’t quit, set over a downtempo beat. Lamar\u2019s verse finds him hanging on the couch watching Sinners<\/em>, worshipping his girl\u2019s booty, and wondering if God might be a woman. \u201cGood Flirts\u201d features vocals from the singer Momo Boyd, of the New York-based soft-rock outfit Infinity Song.<\/p>\n

The song is the latest of Keem and Lamar\u2019s joint releases, which include \u201cThe Hillbillies,\u201d \u201cVent,\u201d \u201cRange Brothers,\u201d and the Grammy-winning \u201cFamily Ties.\u201d Lamar also co-produced a series of documentary shorts Keem released during Ca$ino<\/em>\u2019s rollout and appeared on-camera for interviews, where he spoke about watching Keem grow into his talent.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen he started first sending me beats and shit, I was like, \u2018OK, I can see you do this,\u2019 and he was really good,\u201d Lamar shared. \u201cWhat I was surprised at was when he started rapping\u2026I was like, \u2018Damn, you actually good at this, too.\u2019 That threw me for a loop, because he understood melodies and patterns more than any young cat that I\u2019ve heard.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ca$ino<\/em> is Keem\u2019s second studio album, and follows 2021\u2019s The Melodic Blue.<\/em> 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 States, Canada, Europe, and the UK between April and September.<\/p>\n
