Benjamin Elia$ was born in Denver, Colorado and moved to Israel when he was 13. Having been raised in both places gave Benjamin unique perspective and experiences, which reverberates through his music. His songs juggle optimism with realism, tackling themes such as self-acceptance, drug dependency and relationships.
On March 18th, Benjamin Elia$ released the track “Lo Siento” as the first official single from his upcoming debut album “On the Way.” Influenced by Mac Miller, Jack Harlow, Outkast and “the old Kanye”, Benjamin creates a distinct and accessible vibe that infuses old-school hip-hop with a modern and melodic sound. In “Lo Siento”, Benjamin utilizes a concise and powerful New York flow which fits perfectly in juxtaposition with the smooth and spacey trap-style production. Shot in Tel Aviv, the video is fast paced and celebratory with a hint of melancholy; adding another layer to Benjamin Elia$’s story.
