Baby Keem on Thursday released a new Jonas Lindstroem-directed music video for his The Melodic Blue track “16.”
The visual provides an artful interpretation of the 21-year-old rapper’s vivid love life, between a slew of metaphorical and more literal scenes. “Won’t you think about you and I?” Keem raps on the track. “Just grab my hand and look me in the eye / But this ain’t something you should decide.”
The Melodic Blue, which debuted in September of last year, clocks in at almost one hour and includes guest appearances from Kendrick Lamar on “range brothers” and “family ties,” Travis Scott on the track “durag activity” and Don Toliver on “cocoa.” The 16-track record debuted at No. 5 on the Billboard 200 albums chart, moving 53,000 equivalent album units in its first week.
“16” is the fifth Melodic Blue track to receive a music video, following “first order of business” and “issues,” as well as the aforementioned “family ties” and “durag activity.”
Meanwhile, Keem is gearing up for The Melodic Blue Tour, which is scheduled to kick off on March 7 in Cincinnati and conclude at Coachella on April 22, with a total of 28 stops.
