Baby Keem has blessed his fanbase with the release of his new film, The Melodic Blue, which comes complete with new songs by the Las Vegas-born MC.
In a press release, the rapper (real name Hykeem Carter) billed the film as one that “takes you through Keem’s internal battle and leads you through fragments of memory and temptation as he navigates the depths of The Melodic Blue.” Executive produced by Baby Keem and his older cousin Kendrick Lamar, The Melodic Blue also stars Amandla Stenberg and features three previously unreleased songs: “Rock Me,” “Torch” and “White Laces.”
The Melodic Bluehits Amazon Prime on Tuesday (December 5) and is meant to be an accompaniment to his 2021 debut album of the same name.
Last week, Baby Keem released the trailer for the film, and the short clip describes the “melodic blue” as a place where all human emotions and feelings are heightened. Keem briefly appears alongside other actors (Amandla Stenberg, Shakira Ja’nai Paye, Francis Lovehall, and Séréna Sy are listed alongside Keem in the trailer’s credits).
Keem first announced the film with a graphic on the screen during his performance with Kendrick Lamar (as The Hillbillies) at Tyler, The Creator‘s Camp Flog Gnaw Festival last month.
In August, The Melodic Blue was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).
The LP featured guest appearances from Kendrick Lamar, Travis Scott, Don Toliver and Brent Faiyaz and debuted at No. 5 on the Billboard 200 upon its arrival in September 2021. After selling 53,000 copies in its first week, the album actually sold nearly 5x more in its second week with a whopping 236,000 units. The album reached gold status in April 2022.
In celebration of the feat, Baby Keem announced that a new album was on the way while performing at the Osheaga Music and Arts Festival in Montreal, Quebec on August 5.
“New album coming soon, muthafuckas!” Keem said. “I love you all, and until next time – peace!”
