A Look Back: Kay B Brown - 'G.O.A.T. Season' Mixtape Review

By Julian Cuebas

Kay B Brown is Hip-Hop.

His mixtape Goat Season proved that his humble, powerful, and thoughtful lyricism could be combined to define Chattanooga’s hip-hop scene. His cool demeanor and ability to rap have earned him a place in Chattanooga hip-hops upper echelon.

For Goat Season Kay B and his DJ, D-Whit (hailing from Orange Mound) linked up to give us a Chattanooga classic. The mixtape opens in a definitive fashion, by remixing Lil Wayne’s iconic hit, “Go DJ.” In this track Kay B gets the listener ready for a mixtape full of bars and narratives woven seamlessly together by cuts and mixing from D-Whit.

I loved that this mixtape defined itself through collaboration. Kay B teamed up with local MC’s: CD7, Keith Austin, Kemo, Slade, and I. Sean. Giving this entire project a sound carved from the 423 for the 423. It championed each artist uniquely, and I think that says a lot about what Kay B brings out in other artists. I think its strength, heart, and humility that Kay B evokes in others. His mixtape, “Goat Season” also offer strong narratives like the song “My life.” Narratives in hip-hop are an MC staple and Kay B knows how to tell a story.

Favorite Bars:
“Late nights, early mornings tryna put us in position.”

“And in the hood we wasn’t playin’ Simon says.
 We hopped up on the PS2, and all we played was San Andreas”

“So why you trying to please everyone?
 Start strategizing and find your market.”
