Nardwuar Vs. Baby Keem [Video]
Nardwuar sits down with Baby Keem in Vancouver for a new interview touching on Keem’s past, his Ca$ino era, and the usual round of deep-cut surprises.
Nardwuar finally links with Baby Keem in Vancouver, and the result is exactly the kind of strange, hyper-specific exchange his interviews are built for. The new conversation finds Keem deep in his Ca$ino era, after the album brought him back into full-length mode following the long gap after The Melodic Blue.
As usual, the best moments are in the details: Nardwuar digging up old corners of Keem’s life, Keem trying to stay cool while clearly being caught off guard, and the interview drifting from music into the kind of personal deep cuts. This makes these sit-downs feel less like promo and more like a small archival ambush. One clip already making the rounds has Nardwuar bringing up Keem’s old Minecraft YouTube days, which is very much in character for the Human Serviette.
