Keilan Chayce (formerly known as Keichainz) [He / Him] is an independent rap artist and producer from Southern Maryland. Keilan’s sound draws influence from genres such as alternative & pop, but its core is hip-hop. In 2018, Keilan relocated to the Baltimore, MD area to attend The Sheffield Institute for the Recording Arts. There he received a certificate in AudioWorks. While living in Baltimore, Keilan was involved in the formation of the rap group Ricky (@rickybadsounds) with Brent From School, GrayPex, Danny Lions, and Jarett Loeffler. Their 2019 debut LP “BadSounds, Vol. 1” was met with encouraging praise from the surrounding scene. One of the lead singles, “Background,” was featured in Spotify’s algorithmic Discover Weekly playlist. Overall the project has amassed upwards of 250,000 streams across platforms. Ricky disbanded in October of 2020 to allow the members to further explore solo careers.

“Watch the Walls!” is the debut project from Keilan Chayce. While only 4 songs and a little over 8 minutes in length, Keilan explores new sounds and leaves no second wasted. The EP’s instrumentals are produced entirely by Keilan Chayce. Track 2, “Alone,” features an exciting guest verse from rising Baltimore star Butch Dawson. The majority of the project was created during the first months of quarantine in 2020. This is often reflected in the lyrical content Keilan delivers throughout the tracks. Artwork for the EP was handled by graphic artist / recording artist George Adamson (@gorg.art on Instagram). Animations were created by Ryan Selvy. All photography and video work was executed by Jarett Loeffler, who has been integral in Keilan’s development as an artist and a great friend. The entire project was mixed and mastered by Papi Beatz of PVTSTCK, who has worked with artists such as Saba and his rap group Pivot Gang.
