‘PALATiNE’ beastcoast boombap + trap + dub BEAT TAPE by BenOaks

Mixing throwback, soulful boombap with modern trap and EDM with reggae / dub & triphop / acid-jazz / downtempo (plus a bossa nova jawn), BenOaks releases a surprise EP PALATiNE for the Holidays 2022!

This time of year can be incredibly triggering for folks who had a difficult childhood. For those of you who were blessed with a loving family, cheers! please say a prayer for those of us who were traumatized by the holidays as kids.

Peace & many blessings to you & your family,

Ben

‘Hieronymus’ by BenOaks – 2023 lofi / boombap BEAT tape

BenOaks is almost done mixing his upcoming BEAT TAPE called ‘Hieronymus’. Named after his first favorite artist.

“My mom would sometimes have to drop us off at the library as kids. She was a single mother living in a new state. She didnt have many friends yet. So she would drop me and my little sister off at the library when i was like 10, 11. I devoured those books. I developed a life long live of learning.”

“The first book I can remember being obsessed with was this book about art. I am a huge fan of Escher, Rembrandt, Pollock, Duchamp, Basquiat, Warhol, Goya, Mondrain, all the moderns. But the first art work that I was really drawn to was The Garden of Earthly Delights by Hieronymus Bosch. We have a piece of that in our restroom.”

‘Hieronymus’ is now available ONLY on Bandcamp until it hits all the streaming sites on 1/1/23

BenOaks also has two other albums due out Winter ’23: his feature-heavy “solo” reggae album called “LongSufferer” and the 3rd Bones Culture compilation featuring BenOaks’ collaboration work from 2020-now. And will feature some truly incredible performances from vocalists / lyricists (singers & rappers) / poets like longtime collaborators 66notes & Android Eddie; breaking new artists like Lancaster’s PINK i & Circumstantial Saint; Wilmington Delaware’s Kalamitye & legendary veteran pro skateboarder Gentle Jones; Lancaster Pennsylvania’s own “Artivist” Sir Dominique Jordan & poet / educator sean hogan; indie stage queen Rachael Green, Minneapolis’ mic slayers Daytym & L.Soul + more TBA!
