Nefarious! (born June 18, 1991 in California) is a Bay Area-based sound engineer and instrumental hip-hop producer. Starting out as a rapper under the same name, Nef began making beats initially to record on himself. He lost interest in rapping completely and pursued beat making full time after drawing influences from producers such as Madlib, Nujabes, and J Dilla whose sample-based instrumental music help defined the genre.
