Career

Early beginnings

The Brown Bag AllStars was formed in 2007 while its members were working and interning at Fat Beats. Koncept, Soul Khan and Cold Codeine were writing verses and freestyling on beats made by J57 and The Audible Doctor at Jesse Shatkin's studio until they went on to release their debut project titled The Brown Tape.

Later life

On 4 August 2009 while at Fat Beats, the Brown Bag AllStars released their debut mixtape titled The Brown Tape, released through Coalmine Records.[3] The Brown Bag AllStars made an applaudible guest performance at the 2009 Brooklyn Hip-Hop Festival.[4] In 2010, The Traveller and The Down Under Remixes EPs were released.

In 2011, the first of their annual end-of-the-year A Year In Review compilation serial was released before they went on to release Brown Bag Season Vol. 1 which featured guest and vocal appearances from DJ Brace, Marco Polo. On 5 January 2015, they released the fourth A Year In Review compilation which featured notable acts like 50 Cents, Young Buck, Smoke DZA, Cage, DJ Rhettmatic, Phantogram and Pharoahe Monch.[5][6]
