I think this album has songs that could viral on Tik Tok, be in commercials for the NCAA Tournament, etc. Is this Keem's fault, the label or something else?

Well I wonder why some sticks. Some don't. For example, I hear T.I. all the time on social media. He supposed to be "past his prime" to do that.

Im not talking album quality. Im speaking in terms of popularity on social media since record sales, streaming number are basically meaningless. I think Keem has songs that could go viral, be in commercials, etc.

His tour was almost completely sold out last I checked and he’s got headlining and big font slots at major festivals.
He’s doing just fine.
Sure. You can make the same argument for JID. But Im speaking about virality, commercials, etc.

I feel like they could do more, but this ain't the 2010s where the music culture was more monolithic. The game is more fractured than ever and niches are becoming more ubiquitous. You also can't just take 4 years off as a new artist and think people's interest in you will stay the same. Most artist can't do that even if Kendrick is your cousin. I think with all factors at play, he's doing fine especially considering this album didn't have a Family Ties type of track.

Who even watches commercials who’s in his demo? Serious question.
There’s no such thing as virality anymore except for the biggest acts its all tailored algorithms.
You want to know how an artist is doing look at their ticket sales and festival slots. Point blank period.

It will get worked over time. They aren't chasing 1st/2nd week sales projections or the social media trending algorithm.

Whether you enjoy the music or not, you're dealing with a group of people who like to curate their product and let it breath. His tour, festival spots and a strategic feature will get them where they want by end of the year.

Keem is the definition of an overachiever, nothing is captivating about him he literally only exist because of Kendrick which is a testament in itself cause he’s bigger than any Drake or Cole associated artist ever
