KENNY BEATS & KEY! FREESTYLE | The Cave: Episode 11

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 TH-cam 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). Then, in one of the rarest moments on this series, we get to hear from 03 Greedo in the middle of Key!’s effortless freestyle. These are the times we will look back on years from now, and think “Oh shit, that really happened. We were really doing something.” And our kids will say, “Shut up, dad” through their brain implant modules. Then we’ll say, “You don’t know anything about music.” Then our kids will say, “What the fuck is music?” and go back to their fleshless digital selves in the cloud where there are no mixtapes, only data.

[@yungtimm5673]

$wäji K his name is literally 03 Greedo you fucking doofus

[@sebastiansmith3356]

YUNG TIMM I think he was aware that his name is “03 greedo” but 03 is a nickname for him and he uses it as an adlib

[@huntertalley7967]

Haven’t even watched it and I already know it’s fire

[@TheChristaMariah]

Kenny beats is trash, you want a real beat maker look up alchemist beats mike big noyd louder or “D block to Qb”

[@jusanothernword]

this episode is heat
you got dude coughing the whole first minute of the video
then key said “my body’s not lubricated yet, pause”
and the greedo interlude midway into the bars
and somehow vince had to make an appearance
the beat was hard too.

[@marcusgreer7331]

We’d best get Vince pt2 on the cave after u declined his call.

[@SnoozeTheRecluse]

Then we'd really get that domestic abuse filter

[@christopherkuczynski7073]

The time stap

[@goisiahgo]

all the comments being about Vince and not acknowledging how fye key is, just ain’t sitting right with me

[@BACONLOVERS88]

When its some real, and positive shit like this being written in the comments, nobody wants to like it, but you so right tho.

[@harivyas9550]

Prince Inspiration Fr mane , I couldn’t agree more. Kenny truly loves being in the studio really doin this shit everyday & it’s perfect to have this be an actual series. One thing I want to see is Kenny hittin up other producers & have a collaborative session along with other rappers .

This beat is crazy! Kenny needa put an artist on it for real

[@Idc-x5n]

Better then most dumbass

[@Liaam]

KEY! NEEDS the credit he deserves

[@xCraftTeam]

Best episodes are when it’s just Kenny, the rapper, and maybe one other person- seems like having a crew with them makes the whole vibe less enthusiastic and out there (except for Maxo that whole episode was funny af)

[@BWheels888]

Maxo episode is the best one yet.

[@dovydasgrigas441]

I dont understand why rappers need to bring their whole crew if theyre just gonna sit around
