Laced with Keem\u2019s most personal lyrics to date \u2014 as well as some of his most anthemic choruses \u2014 the LP is a self-contained sonic map for 2026 hip-hop. And so naturally it all sounded pretty dope live, too. But which tracks carried the best? And what songs did the audience vibe with the most?<\/p>\n<p>Check out our breakdown of the top five moments to see for yourself.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a05. Keem Flaunts His Vocals for \u201cSex Appeal\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Listening to \u201cSex Appeal\u201d the first time I heard Ca$ino months ago, I almost thought that, in another lifetime, Baby Keem was Bobby Brown. I felt the same way hearing him sing it live with limited backing vocals at Brooklyn Paramount. Throughout the show, he reminded me that can be anything from a sleazy crooner to a Playboi Carti-Kendrick hybrid depending on the song. It really just comes down to his prerogative.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a04. \u201cCa$ino\u201d Sounds Like One Live<\/p>\n<p>The title track for Keem\u2019s latest album sounds pretty damn frenzied as it is, but the effect only intensified with crowd backing Keem\u2019s frenetic raps. Threading his entire performance was some impressive breath control that even managed to withstand what, at least at some points, sounded like a busted mic.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a03. \u201cOrange Soda\u201d \u2026 Still Hits<\/p>\n<p>The first Baby Keem song I ever heard in my life still hits like prime Ray Lewis on NFL Sunday, and the crowd let Keem know it as they spit the words with him in unison. The audience could be a little dry at a few points, but they turned up whenever Keem dove into a true classic. And yes, \u201cOrange Soda\u201d counts as a true late 2010s classic.

The Crowd Goes Way Up for \u201cFamily Ties\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Family Ties\u201d was always Baby Keem\u2019s most stadium-status-ready anthem, and even in a mid-sized venue like Brooklyn Paramount, it felt like I was in the middle of SoFi Stadium, with the gameday horns and Keem\u2019s raucous shouts threatening to destroy the roof.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Okayplayer takes a look at the five best moments from Baby Keem\u2019s excellent Brooklyn Paramount concert.
