It’s been well over two years since Baby Keem dropped a full-length project, namely Die For My B*tch, which was responsible for his breakout hit song, “Orange Soda.” Now, Keem is just days away from releasing The Melodic Blue, his major-label debut, and ahead of its release, the rapper unveiled its official tracklist.

The Melodic Blue is locked in at 16 tracks, with guest appearances from Kendrick Lamar, Travis Scott, and Don Toliver. Kendrick and Travis were previously heard on the album’s respective singles, “Family Ties” and “Durag Activity.” This makes Don Toliver, who appears on “Cocoa,” the lone collaboration that fans have yet to hear.
During an interview with i-D earlier this year, Keem said Die For My B*tch gave him “a chance to play with my sounds and open up the lane to grow in confidence.” We’ll see if that’s so.
