Ronald K. Keys Jr. aka DJ Swamp is an American hip hop DJ/turntablist and hip hop producer. He was born in Cleveland, Ohio, USA. In 1996, he took the title of US DMC Champion, his first year entering the tournament. Swamp toured with Beck for four years and later broke away into a solo career with "Never is Now" in 2001. He is known for his roguish antics which differentiate his DJ sets from others' by incorporating record smashing, body mutilation and fire breathing.

DJ Swamp has produced several DJ tools that are considered standards including his infamous "skip-proof" records which have the same sample repeated over and over so that if the needle is bumped it will land in the same sample.

In 1996, as a first time entry, he won the US DMC Championships. He showed up dressed in all black with a beanie cap and long hair. His set ended with Swamp using a technique called a needle drop to play Deep Purple's "Smoke on the Water", followed by him smashing his records.

After winning the 1996 US DMC Championships, Swamp found himself still driving a street sweeper for a living in Ohio. He was making calls looking for gigs and a chance to break into the music scene full time when he heard Beck was going to be in town. He formulated a plan to pose as a reporter and slip in a demo of him mixing and scratching Beck's tracks. He waited for Beck all day but never got to meet him. He did however give his demo tape to Beck's publicist. A few weeks later Beck called Swamp and he joined the tour as Beck's DJ. The two toured together for four years.
