BeatKing, whose real name is Justin Riley, was a rapper, producer and DJ. He emerged in the early 2010s and is known for his high-energy, bass-heavy music that often features humorous, raunchy lyrics. BeatKing’s style is heavily influenced by Houston’s club culture and Southern Hip-Hop and he often incorporates themes of nightlife, strip clubs and party life into his music.
BeatKing gained significant attention with his breakout mixtape Club God, which led to the popular “Club God” series. One of his most well-known tracks is “Throw Dat Ahh,” a hit in the club scene. Over the years, BeatKing has collaborated with various artists, including DJ Chose, Queendom Come and the late Gangsta Boo.
