As the saying goes… “You can’t judge a book by its cover.” With that in mind, BEAU does not look like an MC, at all. You can say that’s his charm. He is a songwriter, filled with self-understanding stemming from his life experiences and spirituality. He writes and performs his music as a teacher, sharing his worldly lessons in ways that are easily understandable and relatable, without sounding preachy. At his core, he is still a Hip Hop Head and loves to rap for the sake of rapping. BEAU has been labeled as an MC’s MC by his peers, and is a lover of the East Coast Boom Bap sound which is evidenced in his work. He relies heavily on his wit and wordplay using intricate rhyme schemes and a powerful delivery to make his presence known. Some of his biggest influences are Wu Tang, Common, Big Daddy Kane and Brother Ali. BEAU also has 10+ years of producing under his belt. His beats are jazzy and can easily switch between samples and original compositions, while blending them together for a larger-than-life journey into sound. He has produced albums and songs for himself as well as local South Florida artists like Rawkus 50’s contest winner Protoman. He also produced a track for New Jersey’s Hip Hop duo Equal Dose that features the Hip Hop legend El Da Sensei of the Artifacts (By the way, El Da Sensei absolutely shines on that song!) His biggest influence as a producer is The RZA of Wu Tang followed closely by Pete Rock. As the main producer and fellow rapper in the group Brokensound Blvd in the mid 00’s, he went out on his own producing his next 3 albums. His latest, “Don’t Judge a Book by its Cover”, is a 13 track project full of self-reflection and empowerment sprinkled with braggadocio lyrics and the main message, “Don’t judge a book by its cover.” He is incredibly honest in his writing and is willing to look at himself, bearing all with no shame.

Whether rapping, producing, performing, teaching kids to beatbox or working the former job of a youth counselor, it’s clear Carnage The Executioner was born to do two things: instruct and entertain. Musicians, dancers, DJ's, poets and television hosts who have worked with Carnage recognize his dedication to his craft and would confirm that he doesn’t disappoint. Ask emcees about Carnage’s skill level and you’ll find out that the phrase, "he’s your favorite rapper’s favorite rapper,” actually fits.

A music fan since childhood, Carnage has filled his memory bank with thousands of references from all genres to draw from. Carnage’s start as a human beat boxer has taken on a life of its own. He now uses technology like looping and effects pedals commonly used by guitarists. He enhances the experience of a live Hip-Hop show by providing his audiences the opportunity to hear original Carnage material, as well as unique improvisations and spot-on recreations of popular songs. Carnage uses this same musical knowledge and technology to create custom, studio human beat box tracks. His audio vision via mouth music can be heard on albums by Hip-Hop heavyweights Aesop Rock and R.A. The Rugged Man. Carnage is also a self-trained song writer who’s skilled enough to compose a heart-felt story as easily as he can craft an intricate battle rap.

Carnage gained national fame from his past guest appearances with Eyedea & Abilities. It’s his own original songs, however, that allow his fans to connect with him the most. Songs like Addict, Save My People and The MTW Story give fans a glimpse into the real-life experiences of Carnage the human being. 

Always moving forward, Carnage continues to expand his art and build the Hecatomb crew - a slew of like-minded artists who share his passion to create honest, raw Hip-Hop music. A student and fan in his humble beginnings, Carnage stays true to the culture that both helped to change and save his life.

PRESS MENTIONS:
In reference to Carnage’s beat boxing abilities, Chris Riemenschneider from Minneapolis Star Tribune said, “his mouth might be the best drummer in town” in 2011. Carnage was named one of the “Top 20 MC’s in Minnesota” by City Pages in 2012, ranking #8.
