Artist Profile
Benjamin Benz
Benjamin Benz is a Brooklyn independent rapper whose career connects New York battle-rap culture with contemporary Trap and street-focused Hip-Hop. After more than 26 years in the game, he is building a catalogue designed to keep the raw presence of an MC while reaching clubs, playlists and radio.
About Benjamin Benz
Born Curtis Edmonds Jr., Benjamin Benz developed his identity inside New York’s competitive rap culture. Before concentrating on recorded releases, he sharpened his delivery through battle rap, including appearances around the Power105 and Monday Night Fight Klub scene. That environment rewarded timing, confidence and the ability to make a line register immediately, qualities that remain central to his music today.
His current work moves between raw street rap and a more commercial Trap format. The objective is not to erase the battle-rap foundation, but to translate it into records with hooks, strong low-end and direct structures that can connect outside a purely underground audience.
That combination gives Benjamin Benz a clear position: an experienced independent rapper using the instincts of a veteran MC while continuing to adapt to the way modern Hip-Hop is consumed through streaming, clubs, social media and radio.
From Battle Rap to Contemporary Trap
Benjamin Benz approaches songs with the economy of someone used to competing in real time. His delivery is direct and controlled, and his records are built around moments that need to land quickly rather than around unnecessary complexity.
Recent releases including Wap Wet, Work That Body, $5000, For The Love Of Money and What’s Up Now show the direction of his current catalogue: street-oriented Hip-Hop with an increasingly accessible structure and a strong emphasis on rhythm, hook value and personality.

A Veteran MC Focused on What Comes Next
Longevity is part of Benjamin Benz’s story, but it is not the entire story. His current music is built around forward movement. Battle rap supplied the discipline and presence, while contemporary Trap gives those skills a different frame. The result is a catalogue that aims to remain recognisable as Hip-Hop while still being accessible enough for modern listening habits.
“Wap Wet” is a strong example of that approach. Benz has cited the crossover energy surrounding Fetty Wap’s “Trap Queen” as part of the inspiration behind the direction, not as imitation, but as a reminder that a rap record can keep its identity while becoming immediate, memorable and club-ready.
