Benjamin Wesley Hoffman was born in the now infamous Lower 9th ward in New Orleans, Louisiana on January 14, 1979. Long before Hurricane Katrina The 9th ward was plagued with murder, drugs, and poverty, much like the rest of the city of New Orleans. After Benjamin and his mother witness the murder of his brother, the family left New Orleans for greener pastures. After several years of relocating Benjamin ended up in Brooklyn, New York. This was the birthplace of all of the stories he would later rhyme about as well as the moniker Benny Hoffman. Benny lived in the Bedford-Stuyvesant section of Brooklyn, where for years he would gain a reputation in the streets for being a credible battle emcee as well as a thug. The streets of New York was home to Benny until September 13, 2001, immediately following the terrorists attacks. In Febuary of 2002 Benny ended up on the mean streets of South Los Angeles, Ca. He earned even more street cred as an emcee ripping and running the streets that is until May 2004 when Benny reunited with his family and relocated to Greensboro, Nc. Since arriving to North Carolina Benny has once again established a rep for himself winning freestyle battles and recording street anthems. He has since coined the phrase NorthBrookOrleans, California, which is a combination of all the cities he has lived in during his 27 years on this earth. After a brief hiatus he is preparing an ep entitled "Listen to my Demo", featuring the first single "Spit Acid". Benny is also preparing two more projects entitled "Off My Meds" and "Off My Meds Again" scheduled for release in Fall of 07' as well as Fall of 08'. Its gonna be an exciting year as Benny readies these projects!I edited my profile at Freeweblayouts.net , check out these Myspace Layouts!
