Keith A. Moore (born December 15, 1985), is a Nerdcore rapper, Flash animator, and webcomic artist from The Tri-Cities, WA better known by the stage name Beefy.[1][2]
In 2005, Moore produced two independent EPs, The Whitesican EP and nerd. He created animated music videos for the songs "Whitesican" and "David's Sister" (both from The Whitesican EP), which gave him notoriety after they appeared on Albino Blacksheep. In 2006, Moore, in conjunction with Nerdy South Records, released his first full-length album, Tube Technology.[3] Moore is currently working on this second full length album titled Rolling Doubles.[4]
Moore contributed to the Rhyme Torrents compilation, contributing both music and original cover artwork.[5][6][7][8][9] He can also be found in two documentaries on the Nerdcore movement -- Nerdcore Rising, covering MC Frontalot on his first national tour,[10] and the Nerdcore For Life documentary which covers other nerdcore artists.[11] He has been interviewed on NPR,[12] and has also been mentioned more than once in the blogs at G4tv.[13][14] He was also ranked number 5 in the Hipster, Please poll of the top 10 nerdcore hip-hop artists.
Moore is also a frequent collaborator with Doctor Popular (aka Drown Radio), MC Router, Shael Riley, tanner4105 and DJ Snyder. In 2007 he took part in The Mediocre Tour with fellow nerdcore artists MC Router and Doctor Popular, performing shows in Washington, Oregon, and California. Moore has done shows with notable nerdcore artists mc chris, MC Frontalot, YTCracker, Optimus Rhyme, MC Lars, and Futuristic Sex Robotz.
In December 2007, The Grammar Club released their debut EP Bremelanotide. The Grammar Club are a five-piece band featuring Beefy, along with Shael Riley, DJ Snyder, Adam!, and Glenn Case.
