We are STOKED to present our spring welcome week lineup of Kenny Beats featuring Zack Fox. This is a night you won’t wanna miss!!!
Former EDM producer turned prominent hip-hop guru Kenny Beats is arguably one of the most in-demand hip-hop producers in the industry right now. The 6’7” Connecticut-based producer has made his presence by collaborating with prominent artists such as Vince Staples, JPEGMAFIA, Freddie Gibbs and Young Thug. After graduating from Berklee College of Music, Beats tapped in to the EDM sub-genre of trap, where he formed LOUDPVCK alongside Ryan Marks. Following LOUDPVCK’s successful collaborations with A$AP Ferg and Nipsey Hussle as well as performing at the Electric Daisy Carnival, Beats yearned to focus his craft on rap.
Since then he has been part of hip-hop’s most exciting projects in 2018-2019 such as Netflix and Deal (Greedo), Kirk (DaBaby), Untitled Debut Album (Dominic Fike) and continues to rise in the charts.
In March of 2019, Beats formed a Youtube Series named “The Cave” in which he showcases his incredible producing skills and invites artists to freestyle over the custom beat he makes during the video. His episodes have amassed over 7.5 million views and include impressive artists like Rico Nasty, EARTHGANG, Zack Fox, Smino, and Omar Apollo (all of whom have performed at UC Berkeley).
Zack Fox is an Atlanta-raised comedy firebrand with an ever-expanding following and footprint on the culture. Fox’s biting, hilarious commentary has vaulted records to the top of the charts, sparked both absurdist riffs and serious debate on social issues, and helped establish himself as a burgeoning rapper. His mental health awareness anthem “Jesus Is The One (I Got Depression)” alongside Kenny Beats jumped to the top of Spotify’s US Viral Charts this July and hit #2 globally after his Genius Verified episode trended nationally on Twitter, just Fox’s second track after last fall’s viral “Square Up.”
As a comedian, Fox has performed stand-up across the country and shared the stage with some of the most exciting emerging comics out there, from Jak Knight to Quinta Brunson to Jaboukie Young-White.
It’s not all talking wild shit on stage or online: Fox has written for The Eric Andre Show, and co-wrote and acted in Flying Lotus’ notorious horror-comedy “Kuso,” which premiered at the 2017 Sundance Film Festival.
This will be our largest DJ set to date, so get ready for the time of your life.
