Kenny Beats

Kenny calls his studio "The Cave", and beginning in March 2019, Kenny launched a YouTube series of the same name called "The Cave", in which he invites artists to rap 16-32 bars over a custom beat he creates during the video. Usually, the artists are people that he already has experience with, or, is already friends with. They come in, tell him what kind of beat they want, and in 10 to 15 minutes, he'll have something ready that caters to that particular style. The Cave is known for showcasing not only these artists' lyricism, but their personalities. As of April 1, 2020, Kenny has uploaded 23 episodes and amassed just over 31 million views. Guests of "The Cave" include Vince Staples, JPEGMafia, Freddie Gibbs, Rico Nasty, EARTHGANG, Lil Yachty, Smino, Denzel Curry, Zack Fox, Doja Cat, Thundercat, Danny Brown, 6lack, Slowthai, Sada Baby, Marc Rebillet and Joji. In addition to being his studio and the name of his Youtube series, "The Cave" is also the home to D.O.T.S. (Don't Over Think Shit), a creative group that assists artists with their artistic vision.

In March 2020, as a result of the Coronavirus epidemic, Kenny started a Twitch stream where he makes beats, breaks down famous songs he's produced, talks with other artists and producers, and gives out advice relating to music and the music industry. His stream garners thousands of viewers every day.

Blume was born in Greenwich, Connecticut, and grew up there. He started playing guitar at the age of 9 and began drumming at the age of 11. After he came 2nd in a national electronic music competition, he began to take music seriously. After he graduated high school he moved to New York, where he interned for Cinematic Music Group's Jonny Shipes where he produced songs for the likes of Schoolboy Q and Ab-Soul. After spending some time in NY, he moved to Boston and studied Jazz Guitar and Music Business at Berklee College of Music.

In 2009, while attending Berklee College of Music, Kenny met Ryan Marks, a DJ. These two became friends, and in 2012, they decided to form the EDM duo Loudpvck. The group had a successful run, releasing plenty of successful original music, but solidified themselves as a force once they collaborated with bigger artists, such as NGHTMRE and Zeds Dead. In 2017, the two parted ways and went on to pursue solo endeavors.
