Cameron Mitchell Greely (born September 3, 1997), known as Cam Steady (formally known as VideoGameRapBattles or VGRB), is an American nerdcore rapper and recording artist from Los Angeles, California. He is best known for his high-energy music that blends hip-hop, EDM, and heavy metal, creating a distinct sound that has resonated with a wide online audience. His notable tracks include "MEWTWO", "CHAOS CONTROL", and "SPIDER-PHONK", which helped establish his presence in the Los Angeles indie rap scene and led to collaborations with major video game franchises such as Genshin Impact.

Steady initially rose to prominence through YouTube with his animated music series Video Game Rap Battles, which featured fictional rap battles between iconic video game characters. Popular entries such as "Super Mario vs Sonic the Hedgehog", "Minecraft vs Terraria", and "Five Nights at Freddy’s vs Slenderman" quickly gained traction within the Nerdcore community and became some of the fastest-growing songs in the genre. Greely began his online career with his "Video Game Rap Battles" series (VGRB for short). VGRB is a fanmade spinoff of the Epic Rap Battles of History (ERB) web video series, in which two or more historical figures are pitted against each other in a rap battle; the VGRB series has video game characters rap instead. The creators of Epic Rap Battles of History, Peter "Nice Peter" Shukoff and Lloyd "EpicLLOYD" Ahlquist, would eventually notice Greely's VGRB series, and invited him as a guest writer for two episodes of ERB's Season 5, one of which being "Ash Ketchum vs Charles Darwin."

Following his early success, Steady expanded his repertoire to include regular weekly music releases on YouTube, while also transitioning into live performances. He has headlined sold-out shows at conventions and events including Nerdcore Party Con, MAGFest, Anime Expo, and Momocon. His success on stage eventually led to the formation of the Nerdcore touring group Anime Rap Takeover, where he performs alongside other prominent artists in the genre such as Rustage, NerdOut, GameboyJones, and Chi-Chi. The group has aimed to bring the live anime and gaming rap experience to fans worldwide. As of 2025, Steady has maintained a 12-year career in the online music scene and has accumulated over 530 million streams across various platforms.

Greely produces and releases original music, often Pokémon-themed, on his YouTube channel and various music storefronts, under both the Cam Steady and VideoGameRapBattles names. Among his projects is the Pokémon Rap Cypher series, in which he and other nerdcore artists write and perform raps about Pokémon species or characters. Greely was one of the musicians hired to write and perform the soundtrack for the 2025 Pokémon World Championships in Anaheim, California, United States, alongside fellow nerdcore artist Chi-Chi.
