BENNY WAVE OR OTHERWISE FORMERLY KNOWN AS ” JAEK ABENS ” (JAKE – AYE-BINS) 26, WAS BORN JAREL KALIL BENJAMIN NOVEMBER 27th 1989 IN THE BRONX, NEW YORK. AS AN ARTIST, BENNY BRINGS TO HIP HOP ONE OF THE MOST ORIGINAL SOUNDS EVER HEARD TODAY. HIS LYRICS, STYLE, VOICE, DEDICATION, HUNGER AND AMBITION, ARE ONLY A HAND FULL OF THE HONORABLE MENTIONS THAT ARE ASSOCIATED WITH HIS MUSIC. AT THE YOUNG AGE OF 13, BENNY REALIZED HE HAD A DREAM TO BECOME ONE OF THE GREATEST ARTIST IN HISTORY, AND THE POTENTIAL TO GO ALONG WITH IT.

BENNY WAVE ALWAYS EAGER TO SHOWCASE HIS TALENTS OFTEN TIMES PERFORMED IN FRONT OF FELLOW CLASSMATES BEAT BOXING WHILE OTHERS RAPPED ALONG. HIS CAREER BEGAN IN 2004, ALTHOUGH HE WROTE HIS FIRST EVER RHYME IN 1999 AS A 5TH GRADER IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. IT WAS DURING HIS FRESHMAN YEAR AT MONROE ACADEMY HIGH SCHOOL FOR VISUAL ARTS AND DESIGN THAT HE MET HIS PARTNER IN RHYME JAYOMEGA. TOGETHER THEY FORMED THE MULTI-TALENTED HIP HOP GROUP KNOWN AS ” THE STREET OFFICIALS ” OR ” E.S.S.O ” (EASTSIDE STREET OFFICIALS) BENNY WAVE IS CREDITED WITH THE CREATION OF THE NAME ” STREET OFFICIALS ” BENNY WAVE LATER EXPLAINS THAT THE NAME STREET OFFICIALS WAS THOUGHT OF WHILE WATCHING A GIANTS FOOTBALL GAME AND HEARING THE COMMENTATORS USE THE WORD ” OFFICIALS ” REPEATEDLY. BENNY WAVE WOULD GO ON TO RELEASE HIS DEBUT UNDERGROUND MIXTAPE ENTITLED ” HOOD LIFE VOL.1 ” BENNY WAVE WOULD THEN RELEASE TWO MORE MIXTAPES (THE CLASSIC HOOD LIFE VOL.2 THE ARSONIST AND HOOD LIFE VOL.3 BARS FOR DAYS) WITHIN THE YEARS 2007 AND 2008. CURRENTLY, BENNY WAVE AND THE STREET OFFICIALS ARE BUILDING A HOUSE HOLD NAME IN THE UNDERGROUND (UNSIGNED) CIRCUIT OF HIP HOP. WITH A FEW INDEPENDENT MIXTAPES, AND MANY MORE PROJECTS ON THE WAY, BENNY HAS BEGUN TO EVOLVE MAGNIFICENTLY AS AN ARTIST.

WHEN ASKED ABOUT HIS STAGE NAME “JAEK ABENS ” AND HIS REASON BEHIND CHANGING TO THE NOW MORE POPULAR MONIKER ” BENNY WAVE ” HE SIMPLY REPLIED ” ITS TIME FOR A CHANGE…..YOU KNOW. ITS BEEN ALMOST 4 YEARS SINCE IVE BEEN AWAY FROM THE MICROPHONE. IN THOSE FOUR YEARS IVE MATURED VOCALLY AND SO I THOUGHT IT NESSACARY TO COMEBACK AS SOMETHING ELSE. THE NAME BENNY WAVE REPRESENTS THE PHRASE ” CASH FLOW ” YOU KNOW …WHEN YOUR GETTING ALOT OF SOMETHING IT COMES IN WAVES OR A WAVE SO TO SPEAK. MY LAST NAME IS BENJAMIN WHICH IS SHORT FOR BENNY AND WAVE PAYS HOMAGE TO THE INCARCERATED MAX B WHO I LOOK UP TO AS AN INDEPENDANT ARTIST, AS FAR AS DOING FOR ONES SELF GOES ”

CURRENTLY SIGNED TO HIS OWN MUSIC GROUP ” ESSO RECORDS ” BENNY ONLY HOPES TO BETTER HIMSELF AS AN ARTIST AND BE DISCOVERED BY THE PEOPLE OF HIP HOP AND THE PEOPLE OF THE WORLD. HIS GOAL IS TO TOUCH BASE IN THE INDUSTRY, AND BRING BACK THE OLD SCHOOL FLAVOR MIXED WITH A NEW AGE FEEL A GENRE OF MUSIC THAT WAS ONCE KNOWN AS THE GREATEST GENRE OF MUSIC EVER. ONE DAY HE MAY BE LABELED AS ONE OF THE GREATEST TO HAVE EVER LIVED, BUT HE IS TAKING HIS CAREER ONE STEP, BAR, VERSE, CHORUS, AND SONG AT A TIME.
