BENJAMIN J R THOMAS AKA 'MULLEEZY' FIRST STARTED LISTENING TO RAP WHEN HE WAS 10 YEARS OLD. HIS FIRST ALBUM HE BOUGHT WHICH WAS HIPHOP WAS 'THE MARSHALL MATHERS LP'. LISTENING TO THIS ALBUM ALL THE TIME BEN BECAME OBSESSED WITH THE LYRICS AND STARTED REPEATING THEM IN AND AROUND THE HOUSE, AT SCHOOL ETC.. HE LEARNT OFF 'EMINEM' THAT RAP CAN BE MADE TO STRESS REAL ISSUES AND RAW EMOTIONS OF LIFE OR IT CAN BE A FANTASY OR MAYBE JUST A PURE WIT OF SONG!
OVER THE YEARS OF GROWIN UP, BEN WOULD LISTEN TO ALL THE BIG U.S. HIPHOP ARTISTS BECAUSE THATS WHAT YOU WOULD ALWAYS SEE ON THE TV. SNOOP DOGG, DR DRE, 50 CENT... WILL SMITH ETC... HE DIDNT REALLY STRETCH MUCH FURTHER AS TO WHAT HE WOULD LISTEN TO TILL AFTER THE YEAR 2000
HE HAD ALWAYS LOVED HIPHOP AND WOULD ALWAYS LOOK FOR THE NEXT BIG TUNE, BUT HE NEVER REALLY UNDERSTOOD HIPHOP UNTIL THE YEAR 2005. HE STARTED LISTENING TO RAPPERS LYRICS MORE DEEPLY AND STARTED TO NOTICE THINGS THAT HE WOULDN'T HAVE NOTICED 5 YEARS AGO. HE STARTED TO PICK UP ON DIFFERENT STRUCTURES OF SONGS AND THE MESSAGES THAT WERE CONTAINED WITHIN THEM.
IT WASN'T TILL BEN STARTED TO READ UP AND LISTEN DEEPLY TO 'TUPAC SHAKUR' IN THE SUMMER OF 2005. BEN BECAME INTRIGUED WITH WHAT HE HAD TO SAY, HOW HE WOULD SAY IT AND HIS REASONING FOR EVERYTHING! THIS WAS 9 YEARS AFTER HIS DEATH AND HE HAD HIM MEZMORISED! THIS WAS WHEN BEN DECIDED TO WRITE HIS OWN OWN LYRICS, AFTER LISTENING FURTHER MORE TO BIGGIE, NAS, JAY Z AND MR WEST.
HE WROTE HIS FIRST ACAPELLA CALLED 'GOD HAS A PLAN'
HE WOULD WRITE STUFF LIKE THIS AND FREESTYLE WHEREVER HE WAS, JUST TO HIM SELF, SO HE WAS BRUSHING UP ON HIS SKILLZ.
HE RECORDED HIS 1ST TEN SONGS IN DECEMBER 2007, INCLUDED IN THIS BATCH WAS HIS FIRST SONG HE'D EVER WROTE TO A BEAT CALLED 'A STAR'
BEN HAD, HAD A FEW STAGE NAMES BEFORE COMING UP WITH MULLEEZY, 'THE 2RUTH', 'TEEMO' AND 'JAMIN'... BUT BEN CAME UP WITH THE NAME 'MULLEEZY' FROM A SONG HE WROTE CALLED 'MULLIGGAZ'. BEN HAD TOOK THE PHRASE 'MULLATO', WHICH IS A WELSH PHRASE USED FOR "A LIGHT SKINNED MIXED RACE PERSON" AS TO SAY. BEN CAME UP WITH THE CONCEPT FOR THE SONG 'MULLIGGAZ' AND THEN HIS STAGE NAME 'MULLEEZY'
BEN HAD STILL NOT FIGURED OUT THE MEANING OF WRITING INTO BARS AT THIS STAGE
WITH THE HELP OF HIS FELLOW RAPPER 'RAYZEL', HE SHOWN HIM HOW TO STRUCTURE A SONG INTO BARS OF 16 AND THEN TOOK IT FROM THERE.
MULLEEZY IS ALWAYS TRYIN TO MAKE SONGS FOR AN ALL ROUND AUDIENCE. HE ALWAYS TRIES TO VARY HIS SONGS BY USING DIFFERENT TECHNIQUES AND FLIPPIN STYLES ALL THE TIME. SO HE KNOWS THAT SOME PEOPLE MIGHT NOT LIKE THAT TRACK.... BUT THEY SHOULD LIKE THAT TRACK BECAUSE IT MAY RELATE TO THEM MORE OR THEY JUST FEEL IT MORE BECAUSE OF THE STYLE.
BEN WANTS TO PUSH HIMSELF AS FAR AS HE CAN GO OVER THE NEXT FEW YEARS AND IS BUILDING UP A GOOD RANGE OF MATERIAL TO BE PREPARED.
