In a Thursday concert at Stage AE, Baby Keem delivered an electrifying performance. 

Baby Keem’s entrance was grand. Less than 20 minutes following his opener’s performance, he appeared with fog engulfing the stage, performing “Trademark USA”.

Afterwards, “Praise God,” a Kanye West song featuring Baby Keem, unexpectedly started and the crowd immediately lit up.

The performances of “MoshPit” and “Vent” were the most memorable and energetic.

Sadly, Keem did not perform “Stats,” which was highly anticipated by everyone.

At times, the slower songs such as “Honest” or “16” played and the crowd interaction from Keem was impressive – from starting waves of hands to getting to the whole crowd swaying and holding their lit up phones, even including those in the balcony seats.

Baby Keem’s Melodic Blue tour completely lived up to its expectations with its three-hour total length.

Earlier in the show, a new rapper who also is signed to PGLang, named Tanna Leone, took over the stage. Since he only released two songs the night prior, there was not much energy from the crowd. His set was still impressive for his first official show on the tour, though.

The concert’s high quality stage visuals, sky-high energy, and Keem’s stage presence made it one of Pittsburgh’s best shows in a long time. To those who can handle excessively loud music and mosh pits, this was a must-see show.
