Speed on the Beat

“Baltimore-born, College Park-raised” Speed on the Beat has seen it all, dealing with adversity on account of mental illness, familial situations, and so on. He approaches everything with brutal honesty and defiant lyricism. The rapper/producer/critic got his start close to twenty years ago, working, as a child singer, with smaller labels in Baltimore. As time went on, and Speed became smarter to the way the world worked, he decided to create his own success. While creating his own style of "no-fi" hip-hop, Speed quickly became the self-proclaimed No-Fi King. It was through this that listeners got to hear SOTB's raw and emotive music.
