After nearly five years of tactical silence, Baby Keem has officially broken the internet with his sophomore studio album, Ca$ino. Released on February 20, 2026, the project is a 12-track journey through Keem’s evolved sonic world, but no track captures the album’s high-stakes energy quite like “$ex Appeal.” By recruiting Bay Area legend Too $hort, Keem bridges the gap between the blog-era bounce and the timeless “pimp-rap” tradition, creating an immediate contender for the song of the summer.
Produced by Keem himself alongside a powerhouse team including Teo Halm and Jahaan Sweet, “$ex Appeal” is built on a foundation of robust, trunk-rattling drums and a “nasty” piano line that feels like a midnight drive through the Las Vegas Strip.
