NerdOut

NerdOut is a YouTube-based music collective known for turning video games and pop culture into rap battles and original songs. Rather than existing as a traditional touring act, the project built its audience directly on YouTube, producing tracks tied to games like Fortnite, Among Us and Super Smash Bros. The core creative team behind the channel includes The8thHawk, NemRaps and producer Ben Schuller, who together handle writing, performance and production.

The group's sound blends rap, pop, rock and R&B, adapting to whatever theme a given video calls for — aggressive verses for battle-rap style tracks, catchier hooks for narrative songs about a game's story or characters. Tracks such as «The Fortnite Rap Battle», «The Among Us Rap Battle (Killer on the Floor)» and «Imposter Imperceptible» exemplify this approach, pairing gaming references with polished hip-hop production.

NerdOut occupies a distinct niche within internet-native music: it treats gaming culture not as a novelty topic but as durable subject matter for full song cycles, including sequels like «The Fortnite Rap Battle Round 2». Songs such as «The Reaper», «Dancing On Your Body», «The Super Smash Bros Ultimate Cypher» and «The Dragonblade» show the range the channel covers, from horror and fantasy games to fighting-game crossovers, all produced with an ear toward mainstream rap and pop conventions.
