Baby Keem performed at Coachella for the first time ever this weekend. During his Friday night set, the rapper performed live renditions of songs from his 2021 album The Melodic Blue, broke out his Kanye West collaboration “Praise God” from Donda, and invited Brent Faiyaz onstage to do “Lost Souls” together. Watch highlights from Keem’s set below and follow along with all of our Coachella 2022 coverage.
Baby Keem broke out in 2020 when he was named to XXL’s Freshman Class, along with Polo G, Rod Wave, NLE Choppa, Lil Tjay, Jack Harlow, Chika, Fivio Foreign, and others. His star has continued to rise: Last year, he teamed up with Travis Scott for “Durag Activity” and followed it up with his Kendrick Lamar collaboration “Family Ties.” The latter single went on to win the Best Rap Performance award at the 2022 Grammys.
