Brandon Mitchell's latest project, "Gametime", is more than an album—it's a mission statement. Across 15 tracks, Mitchell explores the intersections of life, faith, resilience, and ambition, all wrapped in the energetic, narrative-driven language of Hip-Hop. Born in Kansas City and now rooted in Los Angeles, Mitchell brings a multifaceted creative legacy to the table, shaped by his work as a dancer, actor, DJ, and philanthropist. With, "Gametime", he adds another powerful chapter to an already dynamic career.
From the opening track to the final fade, "Gametime", operates with a clear purpose. Produced by Yung Nab, Lil A On The Track and Lef Beatz, and engineered by San Kira, the album is a cohesive body of work with a strong central theme: life is a game, and we are all players. That mission shines through, giving the album a sense of weight and sincerity that sets it apart.
Framing the human experience through the metaphor of sports, Mitchell casts family as teammates and trials as the opposing team. But in his view, the outcome is never in doubt. This confident, spiritually grounded perspective is the throughline that binds the album’s various styles and stories together.

One of the album’s standout tracks is, "Highest Wave 2," a soaring anthem that captures Mitchell at his most inspired. The production is smooth and groovy, allowing his vocals to float perfectly on top. Lyrically, the song speaks to elevation—not just in status, but in spirit. Mitchell raps about rising above negativity, distractions, and internal doubt to reach a place of clarity and confidence. The "wave" is a metaphor for divine alignment, and Mitchell rides it with grace.
Elsewhere, tracks like, "Gametime Title Track", and, "Plays", further expand on the album’s sports-meets-life framework. On, "Gametime Title Track", Mitchell reflects on the long journey behind him and the promise ahead, while, "Plays", offers a moment of calm and spiritual recharge. Guest features from Nia Cheri, Bussy B, Irv Da PHENOM, and Brooklyn Aviel add texture without ever overshadowing Mitchell’s voice, which remains the album’s emotional and motivational core.
Mitchell’s artistic range is perhaps best appreciated in the balance he strikes between the personal and the universal. Even when drawing from his own life—including his experiences as a husband, father, and creative entrepreneur—his lyrics are designed to uplift and resonate with listeners from all walks of life. Whether he's rapping about family, purpose, or perseverance, there's an unmistakable sense of conviction in every bar.

The impact of, "Gametime", also lies in its versatility. It touches on classic hip-hop aesthetics while embracing modern sounds, allowing Mitchell to pivot effortlessly between introspective tracks and upbeat bangers. Despite the variety, the album never loses its sense of direction. Each song feels like a play called in a greater strategy, one focused on resilience, faith, and love.
Ultimately, "Gametime", is more than a musical endeavor—it's a source of motivation. It's Brandon Mitchell using his platform not just to entertain, but to empower. Through his unique blend of storytelling, faith-driven optimism, and musicality, he encourages listeners to view their own challenges and triumphs as part of a larger, divinely orchestrated plan.
