400 BARS FROM THE BABY GOAT || FEAT. KAH ROBERTS | | RTM PODCAST | SZN 3 | EP 15 |

Sometimes greatness reveals itself early, hiding in plain sight until the right moment. For Kah Roberts, the seeds of artistic identity were planted long before he ever stepped into a studio.

Growing up in South Philly, young Kah turned heads not for his music, but for his style. While other kids wore the standard Nike sweatsuits, he was selecting his own fits—different patterns, different colors, different energy. Neighbors would stop his mom just to comment on it: “He dresses himself?” This early embrace of individuality wasn’t random; his mother modeled it with her own mohawks and bold fashion choices, creating a home where standing out wasn’t just accepted but celebrated.

Meanwhile, his cousin Zed saw something else—a natural rhythm in the way Kah expressed himself. “Spit that shit, cuz,” he’d say, long before Kah could comprehend what that even meant. At home, Jay-Z’s voice thundered through speakers so powerful the Chinese store down the block could hear them. His father would take him to play chess against grown men at the corner store, proclaiming “my son gonna beat you.”

These early votes of confidence—in his style, his potential, his intelligence—created a foundation of self-belief that would later manifest in his music. By seven, he could recite entire Beanie Sigel verses, impressing family members with his memory. In his teens, he approached recording with remarkable focus, cutting 5-8 songs per session while others wasted studio time.

From “Brick Thoughts,” where he ingeniously incorporated all his friends’ names into the lyrics, to “400 Bars,” the track that announced his arrival as a formidable artist, Kah has built a catalog in an era obsessed with singles. His latest work on “carp’s Baby 3” reaches new heights of authenticity, especially on “Side Story,” where he opens up about growing up and coming into his own.

Ready to hear what authentic talent sounds like? Listen now and discover why they call him the Baby Goat—and why that nickname is only the beginning of his story.
