Sung Beats, not Song Beats, is a New York City beatboxer. New York City subway performers come in all shapes and sizes, some sing, some dance, while others beatbox. NYC subway performing is no walk in the park, to make that underground money as an underground beatbox you have to impress New York and thats harder than it looks. Sung Beats makes a few hundred bucks in a couple of hours. The musician does this by beatboxing into a loop machine and creating acappella cover songs and beats right on the spot. He likes Union Square because there's a lot of traffic and NYC tourists.

That's dedication- the NYC Subway is the modern day equivalent to the legendary Crossroads of blues fame.

[@PsyopsCrespo]

This is so cool!

[@nickb816]

I hope he has an Instagram following and shouts out his locations. That way you can build up a steady fan base of people in town or visitors wanting to see him.

[@nelson79928]

Song name in 4min?

[@RuilinLinRyan]

Is he doing krnfx's arrangment of "The Hills"? lol, big up to this guy tho, American bbx loopstation champion

[@lindaleelaw5277]

I talked to a sign spinner dude here in Denver, he took 8th in THE WORLD! Who knew so a little respect. Go.Arrow sign spinners

[@TheChickenRiceBowl]

You really have to have no shame to make it in New York. Edit: By the way this isn't an insult. Just thinking about how I could never just find a random spot in public and start performing for/in front of folks. Sounds terrifying.

[@yugiohpokemon5285]

TheChickenRiceBowl what do you have to be ashamed of?

[@bryantzerrato8255]

35k ..tax free...still not enough en nyc

[@twitterblackdove]

Hi Sung, I like you. Stay beautiful.

[@Phlegethon]

He also probably doesn’t pay tax on this cash

[@yugiohpokemon5285]

Phlegethon exactly even if it’s tax free it’s not Even a lot Of money

[@greensoplenty6809]

homeless guys tell me you can make 200 a day begging on the right corners but you might have to fight a few guys for the corner but thats more than most people make at walmart or most low wage business's, kinda dumb not to beg if your a capitalist...dumb to work for less than like 30 dollars an hour unless you live in kansas er whatever. everyone should walk off the job at walmart and target and everywhere and have a begger's day protest...i bet alot will make what they would have made working anyway if they try to beg. see if the richest companies on earth can pay living wages in this country...not just europe and everywhere else.

[@TheChickenRiceBowl]

I agree wholeheartedly. I wish I could see what would happen if every single min. wage worker in America walked out.

[@bigiish]

Does he have to pay taxes??

[@Phlegethon]

shahid kayani yes. But does he 🤷‍♂️

[@bryantzerrato8255]

700 rent in nyc ...where does he live ..in a closet

[@user-wi1yj7xk9j]

เรารู้ว่าทุกคนต้องกานวัน🌋แล้วทุกจะดีใจความเปันจิง. 💁🏠เราความจิง

[@omnigut1]

Oh great, a busker bragging about how much they make. Now everyone's going to think buskers are millionaires.

[@JosephFuller]

Does he pay taxes on that revenue? However, he is enormously talented.
