Seattle, WA. (Top40 Charts) Seattle hip hop artist and storyteller Mr. Benjamin, also known as 'The People's Champ' for his work with the youth in the Washington communities, is releasing the tracks 'Smoke Wit Me' and 'Next Generation (Mister Sulu)', both featuring Italy's highly accredited DJ
Luciano (a/k/a Jato Unit), from his forthcoming brilliant EP Ultimate Party Anthems. Mr. Benjamin's unique and catchy 'Northern Flow' style and swagger and DJ Luciano's European dance music influence, brings together a combination of hip hop, dance/EDM and trap genres that create excitement on the dance floor, radio, and through live performances.
Mr.
Benjamin has toured the United States and performed on shows that include the Coast to Coast Mixtape Convention at the Alhambra Theatre in Portland Oregon and The Coolout Network in Seattle and Core Dj's Convention in Atlanta. Two singles from the forthcoming EP are now being released worldwide following his recovery from a brain aneurysm and open heart surgery in 2012. He was inspired to write the single 'Smoke Wit Me' due to the positive impact that medicinal marijuana had on his pain management and recovery.
Seattle Washington's Mr.
Benjamin delivers positive messages to the kids when he visits the schools reminding them how important their education is and that music should be an uplifting experience. For this, he received the Seattle Mayor's Award for
Excellence in Hip-Hop and promoting Northwest
Music and Northwest Communities. He's also received the Governor's Recognition Award from the Governor of Washington for outstanding contributions to Washington's youths and communities.
