Driven by the momentum of Baby Keem’s “Family Ties,” Kendrick Lamar has returned to the charts for the first time in a minute.
Though we don’t know when Kendrick’s album will be arriving, he already has some momentum in his favor. Thanks to a scene-stealing appearance on Baby Keem’s The Melodic Blue single “Family Ties,” Kendrick Lamar has returned to the Billboard charts in the eighteenth position. According to HipHopDX, the placement marks Keem’s first top 40 hit and Kendrick’s highest-charting Hot 100 track since Lil Wayne‘s “Mona Lisa” in 2018.
It will certainly be interesting to see how the success of “Family Ties” translates into direct sales for Keem’s upcoming Melodic Blue project, but one thing is certain. The people want new Kendrick Lamar, and it wouldn’t be surprising if his comeback album emerges as the biggest rap album of the year.
In the meantime, look for Baby Keem’s The Melodic Blue to land on Friday. You can check out the full tracklist right here.
