Ray Pierce, better known by his stage name, Steddy P, is a Kansas City-based rapper who, for many years, has come to represent underground Missouri hip-hop. Through his college years, he built a dedicated following in Columbia, Missouri, and then began to spread outward across the state and beyond. He is also the founder of the label Indyground Entertainment, which has artists Farout and Dom Chronicles on its roster. His music is often biographical, often political, and is inspired and assisted in creation by St. Louis-based DJ and producer, DJ Mahf.
