In this new entry in our ‘Diamonds In The Rough’ category, we would like to introduce you to upcoming artist Brandon Mitchell and his brand new album titled Gametime.
Brandon Mitchell, the multitalented artist, choreographer, actor, and DJ, steps boldly into the arena with his latest project: Gametime—a 15-track hip-hop album that’s as uplifting as it is dynamic. More than just a collection of songs, Gametime is a soul-charged soundtrack for anyone striving to win in the game of life.
Crafted with intention and rooted in faith, family, and the fire of lived experience, Gametime is a compelling narrative told from the perspective of a man whose identity has been shaped by both triumphs and setbacks. Mitchell doesn’t just rap—he testifies. With raw honesty and spiritual clarity, he draws parallels between sports and life, casting the listener as a player on the field, navigating adversity with a powerful support system and an unwavering sense of purpose.
Track Highlights:
From the motivational anthem of the title track “Gametime” to the emotive “Dirty Dishes”, Mitchell’s range is on full display. Tracks like “Legendary Elevation” featuring Nia Cheri and “Walking Bucket” channel high-energy vibes perfect for powering through challenges. “Untitled Love” with Irv Da PHENOM offers a reflective, heartfelt pause, while “Brooklyn’s Song” featuring Brooklyn Aviel feels like a personal letter in melody. The closing track, “We Already Won”, encapsulates the spirit of the entire project: victory is already yours.
Each feature adds its own voice to the narrative without disrupting the cohesive arc of the album. Collaborators like Bussy B, Nia Cheri, Irv Da PHENOM, and Brooklyn Aviel amplify Mitchell’s message of unity and resilience.
