Kenny Beats

At the end of 2018, The Ringer hailed him as "The Hottest Rap Producer on the Planet." Rolling Stone called him "The Rap Game's Best Studio Therapist." But Kenny's impact extends far beyond the songs themselves. His discord has become the second-largest on the platform in music, spawning a new generation of producers, and nurturing a music community between fans and artists. The beat battles on his massively popular Twitch channel have been judged by Billie Eilish and Finneas, Mike Dean, Benny Blanco and Skrillex. They've given away over $300,000 worth of gear to young producers, and helped artists get signed to labels just off Twitch.
