"The Hillbillies" is a song by American rappers Baby Keem and Kendrick Lamar. It was a surprise song, initially released on May 30, 2023, as a YouTube exclusive. The song was later serviced to streaming platforms on June 5, 2023, via PGLang and Columbia Records. A drill track, Keem and Lamar wrote "The Hillbillies" with its producer Evilgiane. It includes a sample of "PDLIF" by Bon Iver, and an interpolation of "Sticky" by Drake.

An accompanying music video, directed and edited by Neal Farmer, was released alongside the song. The video was filmed on a VHS camcorder, and features outtakes of Keem and Kendrick from their time together on the latter's Big Steppers Tour, while also including a cameo from Tyler, the Creator. Music critics praised "The Hillbillies" for its Jersey club-inspired production and fun chemistry.
