It’s already a week past after Benezeri released his debut album titled “I’m Benezeri” on July 11th. Ahead of the official release date for his album, Benezeri treated his fans to his album launch party at Jazzville Bugolobi on 10th July. The fast rising hip-hop youngster opens up on several things that made his album a success.
When he first released his debut mixtape early this year, Benezeri started making headlines all over the internet and some radio stations. However, the “Blest” rapper tells us that while he was working on his mixtape, he was also busy penning down the lyrics to his album, a music project he believes that will highlight him more on the rap scene. “I worked on this album for about a year, take or leave.” he says.
Just like other music geniuses, Benezeri too had so many bright ideas and inspirations that kept pushing him to work on such an significant music project. “I’m Benezeri” album which is fused with several ideology concepts was birthed by unique elements. “This album was inspired by many different things but mostly, I reached a point where I had so many songs written down that I felt I should put them out.” He said Adding “Many songs carried a message that people wanted to hear. So I wanted to put it out before I advanced in my journey of transition [my style, flow and writing skills].” Says Benezeri
He [Benezeri] also opened up about the experience of his album release party at Jazzville phrasing it as the “Best Experience OF His Life.” “I will tell you the truth Salim, that was the best experience of my life.” He added “When you’ve dedicated almost your whole life to something and people come out like that to watch you showcase it, it’s powerful. It’s a really special moment. And it was overwhelming.”
With his album already in some music stores around the city, this is just a beginning for Benezeri’s music career. “I want to work on a new album. Hopefully, I’ll put it out before 2015.” He said.
