Big Salty

Big Salty (born Harvey Ribbenkast) is a rapper from Bekken Beach, Skeleton Zone. He believes he was once a part of the Royal Skeleton Navy, but he washed ashore with no memories in Port Skeletown in EY1987. He began rapping on the street to raise money for pipe tobacco and was offered free beats and recording time at Mixtape Hut in exchange for their label to release his first tape. In EY1989 he met producers Cyclops Jeff and Rudy Zilch; co-owners of Typeface Records sub-imprint High Investments No Returns. They were impressed by his first tape and offered him his first album deal.

Big Salty is considered one of the forefathers of Edgyverse rap. His lyrical themes include amnesia, the sea, geopolitics, gardening and he is known for writing entire songs about the act of rapping.
