1989

Clifton Grefe (born October 12, 1989), also known by the name Beef or Beefy, is an American rapper, singer, record producer, songwriter, author, sociologist and journalist from Madison, Wisconsin.

Growing up in Madison, Wisconsin, Beef began writing poetry, performing spoken word, singing, whistling and dancing at a young age.

He started rapping over industry tunes during his early teens.

Grefe attended University of Wisconsin–Madison in the Fall of 2008.

During his time in college, he also worked for 93.1 JAMZ (WJQM) as a part-time on-air personality and producer, for The Badger Herald as a staff writer, for Wisconsin Union Theater as a marketing intern, and a bartender for several bars in downtown Madison.

2010

Zooniversity would eventually drop their debut mixtape, The Red Zebra Exhibit, on May 17, 2010.

Later that year, the group premiered their first music video "Teach Me How To Bucky" during the 2010 UW Homecoming game.

The song was a remix to Cali Swag District's popular "Teach Me How to Dougie" record.

Within 24 hours of the release, the song was No. 6 on YouTube for most viewed music videos.

Its popularity sparked a trend and others followed with pride songs about schools, teams, cities, and states.

2011

Madison Area Music Awards named "Teach Me How To Bucky" the video of the year for 2011.

After disputes within the group, Zooniversity came to an end.

around this time.

2013

Grefe received national notoriety for his debut single, "Coastie Song (What's A Coastie)."

The record, although intended to be flirtatious towards coasties, offended many.

Some called the song "xenophobic" and others – "anti-Semitic."

Beef and producer Quincy Kwalae adopted the name Zooniversity Music, following their premiere.

The group's next release, "My Biddy," was also met with questions.

Rich Albertoni of The Isthmus said that some would find the love song to the lesbian chancellor "funny," while others would see it as "offensive."

He followed the double-sided indie album up with The GRIME TAPE EP on April 8, 2013.

From March 2015 to March 2017, the artist resided in Los Angeles, working, and gearing up to release his 27-track concept album Chapter II: Double Major, along with other music.
