For years, there have been rumors about a joint album between Keem and Lamar. In an interview with the Recording Academy, Keem didn’t rule out the possibility.
“It could happen and it couldn’t, I don’t know,” Keem said. “It just really depends on a lot of factors that I don’t have control over. So, it’s just what the world wants. The world wants it, then it can have it.”
Keem previously spoke on his relationship with Lamar with Complex, saying that his cousin is one of the people he greatly admires.
“Whenever I need anything regarding, like, life, and if I need some wisdom, then that’s who I go to,” Keem said. “That’s one of the first people I look towards, him and Dave Free.”
Lamar’s latest album, Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers, marks his last album on Top Dawg Entertainment. He is currently working on building his multi-disciplinary creative collective, pgLang.
