The entries that make up this are a mishmash that can't be classified into any timespan because of a lack of information. Keem's first seven projects were all recorded in Vegas and released under his legal name. The first and second date from 2016, named YOUTH and Reign, respectively, are almost completely lost. Black Nights and PTNTL, his third and fourth, have had some material recovered. Oct, Midnight, and No Name are all completely recovered. No Name would be the final EP released under Hykeem Carter, as he would switch to Baby Keem starting with Hearts and Darts.

No Name
The last EP that was released under the name Hykeem Carter is "No Name," which is still listenable on Keem's SoundCloud. By this time, Keem would have moved to Los Angeles and fully focused on his music career. No Name is a kind of prequel to his DIE FOR MY BITCH mixtape, but without the mixtape's harsh production and tone, the EP addresses romance and relationships with a more mellow approach.

The Sound of Bad Habit
After switching his stage name from HiiFii to Hykeem Carter and finally Baby Keem, as well as releasing his eighth EP, Keem shifted focus to creating his first professional mixtape, "The Sound of Bad Habit."

DIE FOR MY BITCH
After the success of Sound of Bad Habit, Keem started work on his second commercial mixtape, DIE FOR MY BITCH. DIE FOR MY BITCH would first release on Napster, with three tracks from the Napster version being replaced upon its arrival on major streaming services. In 2019, Kendrick Lamar and Keem collaborated so frequently that both artists started working closely on a now-cancelled album. This shelved project is said to be the initial stages of Kendrick Lamar's Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers, though none of the songs from said collaboration are currently available.

In 2020, Baby Keem would jointly sign with Columbia Records and pgLang, letting him continue working on his debut studio album. The creation of this album was significantly influenced by Kendrick Lamar, who continued in his role as a reference recorder while also offering throwaways to be repurposed. The record underwent a significant reworking by Keem when the pandemic halted all work in early 2020. On September 10, 2022, The Melodic Blue would release. A year later, in 2022, The Melodic Blue would receive a Deluxe
New songs were previewed two months after the release of The Melodic Blue Deluxe. On August 5, 2023, while at Osheaga Keem announced a "new album coming soon motherfuckers." On November 11, while headlining as The Hillbillies, Keem announced a short film for The Melodic Blue that would end up having three new snippets. On January 2, 2024, Keem revealed the album's official name and posted concept artwork for the album.
