In May 2020, I was searching for something \u2014 anything <\/em>\u2014 to bring me joy. The world had become a dark place, and I just wanted to feel hopeful. And so, rationally, I went looking in the most obvious place: Twitch. And what I found was the Twitch stream of music producer Kenny Beats<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Kenny Beats, born Kenneth Blume III, is best known for his work with artists like Denzel Curry<\/a> and Vince Staples<\/a>. On his YouTube series, The Cave<\/em><\/a>, he\u2019ll produce a beat for artists in just 10 minutes. I\u2019d been a fan of his music for some time, but like most producers, I knew very little about Kenny: he was just a name in a list of song credits who happened to have a YouTube show I enjoyed.<\/p>\n

Prior to 2020, I was not a regular Twitch user. But as I worked a job I hated to pay my bills and hoped every day for the pandemic to end so I could return to my normal life, I learned that Kenny Beats was now streaming regularly on the platform. On a whim, I decided to check it out.<\/p>\n
