 Don’t
be fooled – “Beefy” is just his AKA. If you’re gonna be a nerdcore
artist, what better birth name than “Keith.” That gives you nerd
cred right there. (Even Keith Richards is a nerd at heart.) Beefy lives
up to his name and is a formidable presence onstage.
He
has produced two EPs – The Whitesician EP and Nerd.
His first full-length album Tube Technology dropped in 2006 on
the Nerd South Records label, and he’s currently working on his second
album during commercial breaks of Mythbusters. If you’re looking
for references to Orcs in your rap, then Beefy is the place to find
it. This man knows his gaming as well as he knows his cupcakes and is
often mentioned on G4TV blogs.
However,
Beefy is also a bit of a paradox. He’s a nerdcore rapper, gaming blogger,
and yet somehow still good with the ladies. As he says in You Can
Call Me Beef, “Ladies, Beefy’s in short supply.” How does
one pick up a chick while whispering sweet Halo 3 codes in her ear?
Leave it to the Beefman to pull off the impossible.
But
he’s such a good guy, he doesn’t keep the Beef all to himself. He
collaborates regularly with Doctor Popular, MC Router, Shael Riley,
tanner4105, and DJ Snyder. In fact, Beef, Shael Riley, and MC Router
make up the super group Tri-Force3. It’s like when all the various
robots come together to form Voltron, except more dramatic.
Beefy
describes his music’s sound as “like a unicorn dying,” and we’d have to agree.
