Kendrick Lamar talks about Baby Keem’s musical expertise in new ‘Booman’ episode

The rollout for Baby Keem’s new album, Ca$inocontinues with the discharge of one other “Booman” episode. “Booman III,” the third episode from the venture’s accompanying documentary sequence, options the return of his first cousin as soon as eliminated Kendrick Lamar, who talks about his preliminary response to Keem’s musical expertise.

“Was I surprised? No, I wasn’t surprised,” he started. “You know why? Because it started off with beats. And I was like, ‘OK, I see what went down here.’ When I think of the gamers, it just makes sense.You have to be locked in to sound and tech; it all goes hand in hand. So when he started first sending me beats and s***, I was like, ‘OK, I can see you do this,’ and he was really good.”

“What I was surprised at was when he started rapping,” Okay. Dot continued. “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.”

Kendrick mentioned Keem “was the best” of “a thousand f****** cousins” and “a thousand friends that rap and do music” when he was simply “14, 15 years old.”

“Booman III” is now out there to look at on YouTube. Ca$ino is about to reach on Friday.
