Baby Keem's going on tour, too, this spring
West Coast rapper Baby Keem knows his buzz is super big and following his The Melodic Blue album - and tour - success, he’s only more prepared to hit the road to connect with fans live in concert. The hip-hop superstar has announced the rollout for a 28-date North American spring tour.
Baby Keem’s spring tour is gearing up
The Grammy-nominated best new artist has officially announced plans to let the tour roll out at the start of March 2022 and focus on North American popular cities and venues.
The announcement comes after the success of his sold out The Melodic Blue tour, which Earmilk described as a "live-action art piece." 2021 saw Keem release his critically acclaimed album The Melodic Blue, which debuted at #5 on the Billboard 200 chart, earning Keem his first top 40 achievement and an astounding three nominations, including ‘best new artist’ at the 2022 Grammy awards. In a string of announcements since then, Keem has gone on to be added to the Coachella 2022 line-up where he will round-up his spring tour in April.
The official tour dates and spots
You don’t have to wait for the big reveal. Keem’s team has already unveiled what locations and cities - including New York, Detroit and Las Vegas - he’ll focus on with 28 dates in the books.

Baby Keem’s run to remember
Over the past 24 months, Keem has remained on a non-stop grind. From putting out quality music to partnering up with fellow West Coast rap heavyweight Kendrick Lamar at his pgLang, BK’s work flow has yet to slow down.
An artist whose rise to recognition has been built upon distinct lyrical finesse and incredible production, twenty-one-year-old artist Baby Keem is already revered as one of the best in the game, with his 2021 album The Melodic Blue earning him global critical acclaim, having been honored on XXL’s Freshman List, with co-signs from the likes of Drake, Brent Faiyaz, Chloe Bailey, Beyonce, Travis Scott, Ye, and Kendrick Lamar.
The Melodic Blue is Keem’s third project following 2018’s cult record The Sound of Bad Habit and 2019’s Die for My Bitch, which featured the breakout hit, “Orange Soda.” He has appeared on the cover of i-D, XXL, Crack and Numero, starred in the pgLang for Calvin Klein campaign and performed live this summer at festivals including Lyrical Lemonade and Made In America. Notwithstanding, 2021 has seen Keem featured on Ye’s DONDA which afforded him his fourth Grammy nomination at the 2022 awards.
Keem is artist one to partner with pgLang, Kendrick Lamar and Dave Free’s at-service company which launched in March 2020. A visual mission statement titled ‘welcome to pgLang’, starring Baby Keem, can be seen at www.pg-lang.com.
