Initially an aspiring basketball superstar Kelvin Mitchell or "KMitch" has gone through his fair share of ups and downs but feels now he has finally found his true calling. Upon receiving a basketball scholarship to the University of Denver in June of 2007 this is where KMitch would be introduced to Shervin Bunch and his home based label Waydown Records, but after an incident that would force KMitch to not only transfer schools but also leave the city of Denver the promise that Waydown records saw in KMitch would be put on hold. Later in 2008 KMitch would find himself trying to salvage his basketball career and keep his music hopes alive in the city of Ada, Ok. There he did several shows opening up for the likes of Slim Thug, E40, and Twista just to name a few but completion of a project was tough due to the separation from his executive producer. "Confidentally" feat Terry Black a song off his debut album "True Testimony" began getting spins on Ada's radio station 105.5 the x-factor and was highly regarded as the next hit and also showed the major potential KMitch possessed as a solo artist. As his music began to gain more exposure his dreams of playing collegiate basketball began to fade. In 2008 he left ECU in Ada to pursue his music full time. Making pit stops in Dallas and his hometown Houston Texas KMitch has finally found his home in Pittsburgh, PA where his label is currently based. Enhancing his lyrical ability through growth and his life experiences KMitch is now more determined than ever to show the world he is the next best thing and is here to stay for years to come.



Go up I-45 N and you will run into OT. A neighborhood on the outskirts of the city filled wit ball players or crackseller. Turn onto the 2700 block of Branch rd or what we call B Block and there resides Kelvin Rashad Mitchell. His pops was a hustla and his mom was the same which made Kmitch a son of the streets. In his hood its either you hustle or you hoop, kelvin chose the basketball route and decided to let the rock get him out the hood. In 6th grade he started rhyming influenced by the down souf version of freestyles "Mann!!" As he expanded his range of music he became intrigued by eastcoast music and artist such as Jay-Z, Juelz Santana, Hell Rell, Fabolous, Cassidy and many others and he decide to form his style by using east coast lingo wit a southern twist. While in high school Kmitch widen his vocabulary and became known for his punchlines and vivid stories in his songs. 3 years on varsity at Spring High School led him to the Air Force Academy Prep where he was on a full scholarship. After the basketball season he left because that kind of lifestyle wasnt him. Which led him to Denver University on a scholarship and utimately hooking up wit AP and Waydown Records. Through his many trials and tribulations wit his parents in and outta jail, hustling, and living with his grandmother you can hear the pain and emotion in his lyrics and the substance he brings with each and every verse. With 9 years of rhyming under his belt he feels he has what it takes now to take it to the top of the game and become a success in the rap industry.Copyright 2011 Waydown Records all rights reserved Reproduction or use of audio, video, editorial or pictorial content in any manner is strictly prohibited without express written permission from WAYDOWN RECORDS 2011.
