Why he might be annoying:

    He goes by a single name.
    He calls himself the ‘undisputed beatbox champion of the world.’
    Many Roots fans have confused him for their human turntablist, Scratch.
    While he is very well-regarded as a beatboxer, his rhyming skills are considered weak.

Why he might not be annoying:

    As a kid, he sang in his church’s gospel choir.
    Since 9 years-old, he has been beatboxing.
    He took up beatboxing because he couldn’t afford a turntable, and he wasn’t allowed to have a drum set.
    His influences are the Fatboys, Doug E. Fresh, Bobby McFerrin and comedian Michael Winslow.
    He can perform up to six sounds at once.
    He is able to impersonate various other MCs, and he plays 'name that tune' with the audience at his shows.
    He has worked with artists such as Ben Harper, Roni Size, Mike Patton, Q-Tip and Me Shell N'degceollo.
    He is currently doing voice work for animation and video games.
    Being that his beats are so precise, he is branching out into providing sounds for drum machines and other preset gadgets.
