Baby Keem’s appearance in New York City on January 14, 2026, has sparked strong speculation that he is beginning the rollout for his long‑awaited second album. Fans noticed the pgLang artist filming what appeared to be a music video in Queens.
Keem was spotted in Flushing near the intersection of 43rd Street and National Street. The location drew attention due to visible filming equipment and a closed‑off production area.
Witnesses described Keem wearing a simple black T‑shirt, loose trousers, and white Converse sneakers. A yellow New York City taxi played a central role in the shoot, with a holiday wreath placed on its front grill.
Several bystanders reported seeing Keem enter the taxi with another man. While no official confirmation was given, fans online quickly speculated that the second person could be his cousin and frequent collaborator, Kendrick Lamar.
The video is widely believed to be for the lead single from Keem’s upcoming album. The project is reportedly titled Child With Wolves, though Keem has not formally announced it.
Keem’s producer, Cardo, recently suggested the rapper has been finishing the album during an extended studio retreat in Nevada. The comments added to growing signs that a release is approaching.
The timing of the shoot also aligns with Keem’s major 2026 live performances. Earlier this month, he was announced as a headliner for Governors Ball, which takes place in June in Flushing Meadows Corona Park.
Keem is also scheduled to perform at London’s All Points East festival later in the summer. Together, the appearances point toward a larger comeback and possible global tour in 2026.
