About NEMS

Gruff Brooklynite Nems (aka Gorilla Nems) is a veteran battle rapper who takes a similarly antagonistic approach when he's in the vocal booth. Active since the early 2000s, he made a name for himself competing locally before going national on MTV2's Fight Klub series. His "Bing bong!" catch phrase went viral in 2021, and he has also expanded his audience with the humorous off-the-cuff insults he has hurled at passersby in his web series Don't Ever Disrespect Me. Also a prolific recording artist, Nems has released dozens of solo and duo projects that include F**k Your Lyfe: Valium Won (2005), Gorilla Monsoon (2019), Congo (featuring "Bing Bong," 2021), and the Scram Jones collaboration Rise of the Silverback (2023).
