The Cave — Season 1, Episode 11: KENNY BEATS & KEY! FREESTYLE

Episode synopsis

This week on The Cave we have a special guest, very near and dear to the DOTS family. The originator of the “Woah Kenny,” the 777 man, king of the non sequitur and overall legendary artist Key! I’m about to break the fourth wall of this YouTube video description and just say that he and Kenny made the best tape of 2018 and continue to be the rap/producer duo to beat. In this session, we get to watch a version of their process in real time. Key! requests a type of sound, in this case “some New Orleans shit.” We then watch Kenny interpret that with his internal human algorithm and within a few minutes, it has inexplicably materialized as a beat. We even get a history lesson in New Orleans and Texas rap in the mean time. We also get to hear a live recording of the “Woah Kenny” tag, though it never quite hits the original mark (lightning never strikes the same place twice).
