He has recorded under multiple aliases in various genres since his first known released project in 2005, including Lil Ugly Mane, Shawn Kemp, Vudmurk and Bedwetter.
Miller rose to popularity in the early 2010s with an experimental approach to Southern hip hop. His debut album Mista Thug Isolation gained him notoriety in the underground hip hop scene. Since then, he has experimented with a number of styles within and outside the hip hop genre, most recently releasing the indie rock album Volcanic Bird Enemy and the Voiced Concern. His other work spans genres including instrumental and abstract hip hop, black metal, free jazz and noise music.
Career
Miller began recording music in the 2000s under a number of aliases. Much of his early music cannot be found today on the internet, however some of it has been re-released, such as on his Register compilation album. Some of his early work included the black metal projects Vudmurk and Seidhr, the industrial and noise projects Across, Public Garden and Rats, and the underground hip hop group The Legacy, during which time he rapped under the name Young Gus.
Miller began releasing hip hop under the name Lil Ugly Mane on Bandcamp and producing beats for himself and other artists under the name Shawn Kemp in 2010, releasing his debut mixtape Playaz Circle in 2011. His early work under the Lil Ugly Mane name drew on various styles of underground Southern hip hop from the 1990s such as Memphis rap and chopped and screwed. His style was similar to that of the contemporaneous Raider Klan collective, with whom he collaborated. His 2012 debut album Mista Thug Isolation earned positive reviews from Mishka NYC, among others and support from members of the popular hip hop collective Odd Future. The album has since been hailed as a classic of the 2010s underground hip hop scene, earning later praise from Pitchfork and The Needle Drop. The album was followed by a number of smaller releases, including the Uneven Compromise EP, which is ranked in the top 10 greatest EPs of all time by user-generated music review site RateYourMusic, and the single "On Doing an Evil Deed Blues", in which he outlined his grievances with the music industry and his intention to retire the Lil Ugly Mane project.
Miller announced he would release one final album under the Lil Ugly Mane name, and began sporadically releasing compilations of beats and older material on Bandcamp, including the Three Sided Tape series, the final installment of which, Third Side of Tape, received positive coverage from Anthony Fantano of The Needle Drop among others. In 2015, Miller released what was intended to be the final Lil Ugly Mane album – Oblivion Access and the final Shawn Kemp project – Trick Dice, a collaboration with rapper Nickelus F. Oblivion Access saw Lil Ugly Mane taking a more experimental approach divorced from his earlier '90s Southern rap influences.
In 2017, Miller announced he would continue rapping under the name Bedwetter and released his debut project under the name – Vol. 1: Flick Your Tongue Against Your Teeth and Describe the Present. The album continued with the more introspective and experimental style of Oblivion Access. Around the same time however, Miller began rapping under the Lil Ugly Mane name again as part of the group Secret Circle with Antwon and Wiki. After releasing a few singles, the group disbanded and scrapped their debut album due to a personal falling out. Miller began working with the remaining members of GothBoiClique, however then appeared to go on hiatus, only releasing small collections of older material sporadically.
In 2021, Miller began releasing new music under the Lil Ugly Mane name. He released the single "Headboard", followed by "Porcelain Slightly" and then his third major release under the Lil Ugly Mane name – Volcanic Bird Enemy and the Voiced Concern, which was covered positively by Sputnik Music and Stereogum. Around the same time, Miller released a new black metal demo under the Vudmurk name.

Beanso
[Hook]
I'm space station, I'm cold scab
Steadily making my nose numb
Bent thumbs dig back in my sockets
Nothing worth seeing, I'd rather be dumb
[Verse 1]
Side swipe, I'm infinite
My infantry ready for centuries
Pain and my ecstasy
Intersect mentally covered in arms
So I'm something like centipede
Enter my space and the eye on my sceptre
Evaluate studies your movements your shadows
Evaporates, pride is disaster the prodigal master
My people just watching my vertebrae currently
Cold
Only dream of dying if I have a dream
Go ahead pop five in the magazine
Only time I ever matter
When I'm swinging from the scaffolding
Weak thoughts really terrified of ever after
So I still breathe, heart beats, wrong turns
New paths spit gas
Slide out, tell me where the work at
Soon as I mention it that's when I get it
Glitches in time I'm dismissive of physics
We live on the back of a serpent that hisses
Then swallowed the sun while you busy with riches and bitches
Switching my style so i'm louder than bombs
Flooded and drowned me, when lighting them off
Renowned world wide, wish it was gone
[Refrain]
Crooked letter E P A R A T E me from the weak
Player, I'm gone
[Hook]
I'm space station, I'm cold scab
Steadily making my nose numb
Bent thumbs dig back in my sockets
Nothing worth seeing, I'd rather be dumb
[Verse 2]
I'm quarantined under the puzzle
Thorazine shuffle
Uncut in a black duffle
No teeth bit down on a brass knuckle
Just bones stripped down to the last muscle
Sell cell block, been in hell dwell where the rain swell
Data trail ends where the light don't drift
Knew a couple people with the gift, didn't move swift
Every door closed now they sit around wondering if...
Chess: Bobby hit a punch clock, caught you in a dumb spot
Had to lay the king down - Check -
I'm no one that you should respect
You don't know shit that I have to suppress
The shit that i'll never get off of my chest
The terrible shit I say under my breath
My level of stress I would never suggest
Evil blood drops, swapped with Mephisto in Vitro
Paranoid, always point pumps out the peep hole
Ugly, my style is so lethal
Dug out my eyes so my vision cerebral
Life is the sequel
Switching my style so I'm louder than bombs
Flooded and drowned me when lighting them off
[Refrain]
Crooked letter E P A R A T E me from the weak
Player, I'm gone
[Hook]
I'm space station, I'm cold scab
Steadily making my nose numb
Bent thumbs dig back in my sockets
Nothing worth seeing, I'd rather be dumb

Don't think I'm bluffin'
Never let the money get me
Don't think I, don't think I'm bluffin'
[Sample: Eightball]
I be, I be hibernating getting high
Penetrating something fly, something fly, fly, fly, fly
I be, I be hibernating getting high
Penetrating something fly, something fly, fly, fly, fly
I be, I be hibernating getting high
Penetrating something fly, something fly, fly, fly, fly
I be, I be hibernating getting high
Penetrating something fly, something fly, fly, fly, fly
I be, I be hibernating getting high
Fly, fly, fly, fly, fly
[Samples]
Recognize and realize, kid, don't fantasize
Don't think I'm bluffin', don't think I'm bluffin'
Recognize and realize, kid, don't fantasize
Never let the money get to me
Don't think I'm bluffin'
Recognize and realize, kid, don't fantasize
Don't think I'm bluffin', don't think I'm bluffin'
Recognize and realize, kid, don't fantasize
Never let the money get to me
Don't think I'm bluffin'

Even if this was the only song ugly had ever dropped it'd still put him at the best of all time

it's my hope that people will look back and realize that this song along with, "on doing an evil deed..." are some of the most complex and likewise greatest hip hop tracks ever written.
