Beenzino is the stage name of South Korean rapper Lim Sung Bin (임성빈). “Beenzino” is a play on that of Boston rapper Benzino, combined with “빈” (pronounced “been”) from his birth name. Lim is currently signed to hip-hop label Illionaire Records.

Lim was born and raised in New Zealand and moved to South Korea prior to middle school. He first gained recognition by the Korean hip-hop scene by posting recordings to the DC Tribe website, through which he was first recruited by established rapper Simon D. He went on to feature on albums by well-known artists including Dok2, Epik High, Supreme Team, and Verbal Jint, and released albums as part of the rap duos Jazzyfact (with producer Shimmy Twice) and Hotclip (with Beatbox DG). After establishing his reputation within the underground Korean rap scene, he achieved mainstream success through singles such as “Dali, Van, Picasso.”
