Hailing from Central Auckland, Rapper BENJAMIN is an artist that has had his foot on the gas in the local underground music scene over the last couple of years. Growing up BENJAMIN was blessed enough to have had music embedded in his surroundings from the start, which has since been fostered to harness a unique passion and love for what he does.

Stylistically, his sound leans into a montage of east coast golden era rap, upon a set of modern cadences to forge a lethal arsenal of familiarity, smooth flowing pockets and head knocking frequencies. BENJAMIN is a narrator, and a true storyteller at heart, balancing his own life experiences and lessons. There is a strong sense of social responsibility in his verses that clearly point to a purpose not only at a personal level, but at a place of influence he foresees for his own future.

Whether working with NWAK, SR Mpofu, or an abundance of other producers, BENJAMIN displays a developed yet hungry sound and guarantees to go hard every time, with a goal of making music that escapes the confined space of the industry’s standard sound.

Whether it’s on the stage, studio, or online, the mission of uplifting and inspiring people through music by sharing his own life experiences, ideas and future plans is clear and in full effect.
