Kendrick Lamar And Baby Keem’s “The Hillbillies” Receives Twitter Accolades

Kendrick Lamar is making his presence felt this month, much to the delight of his fans. So far, 2023 has been a peaceful year for the father of two, following the enormous success of his long-awaited Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers album in 2022.

He’s unlikely to release a full-length CD anytime soon, but he did lend his voice to Beyonce’s remix of “AMERICA HAS A PROBLEM,” which debuted just a few dates into her RENAISSANCE World Tour.

That taste of Lamar was enough to satisfy our itch – for now – but he wasn’t done there. On Tuesday (May 30), he and little cousin Baby Keem joined forces for yet another collaborative track. In the past, we’ve heard them connect on “Savior” from the DAMN. hitmaker’s aforementioned LP, as well as “family ties” and “range brothers” on Keem’s The Melodic Blue. Now, they’ve joined forces for “The Hillbillies,” which arrived exclusively on YouTube along with a video featuring an appearance from Tyler, the Creator.

Baby Keem and Kendrick Lamar Reunite on “The Hillbillies”

Not only does the OFWGKTA head show off his iconic style and unique dance moves, but he also confirms that the next CAMP FLOG GNAW event will be taking place at Dodger’s Stadium later this year. The news was incredibly exciting to Twitter users, who have been praising Tyler for his work. As for Lamar and Keem, not everyone is a fan of “The Hillbillies,” though many are pleased with the interpolation of Drake’s “Sticky” from Honestly, Nevermind along with the use of a Bon Iver sample.

“It’s cool but if this is the single for a collab album then I’m worried,” one person expressed, seemingly expecting more from the legendary lyricists. “Yeah that Kendrick Lamar x Baby Keem collab album is bound to happen at some point,” someone else chimed in, hopefully speaking the project into existence.
