What's with teenagers and the word "beast"?

I teach high school and I am constantly hearing my kids use the word “beast” when describing something they like.
As in….“Oh, that dude is a beast.” or “Your truck is so beast”,etc.

Obviously, I know what a beast is, but I’m wondering where the hell that came from? A movie? A song? I’m pretty young so I get all the other references they make in their slang, but this one stumps me.
Is it regional (Oklahoma) or do kids everywhere say that?
