musical collaboration collective
66notes expresses his daily struggle with racism and responds to Jesse William’s inspiring speech at the 2016 BET Awards.
Lush, classic boombap music by BenOaks.
66notes and Benjamin Oaks (The Numinous) have been making music together for over 10 years now- even though they have never met in person. They are both members of the international music & arts collective Bones Culture.
Blending sexy, emotional spoken word with jazz keys & standup bass, “Summer’s Day” by Lee Morr & BenOaks is a powerful song that is 5 years in the making.
Lee Morr & BenOaks met when Benjamin first moved to Lancaster, PA from LA. They met regularly at a mutual friend’s house. Socializing & planning to collab “some day”. This summer Lancaster’s blossoming spoken word scene brought them together again. After a few weeks of meeting up at A Concrete Rose & Sir Dominique Jordan’s weekly spoken word open mic, they finally made plans to record at Benjamin’s new private studio – HighWise Multimedia.
Here is the debut collab!
See them perform THIS FRI @ Switchboard Studios & Gallery in Columbia, PA!
This is the first of MANY more to come. Word is, they may be making an EP or full-length album together this Winter for a Spring 2023 release!
Follow Lee Morr & BenOaks to stay tuned!
Announcing the debut album from the dynamic duo of affirmations & spoken word poet Circumstantial Saint & the notorious, polarizing, underground hiphop / electro / R&B / reggae recording artist BenOaks. Ben considers this album to be his “masterpiece. I can now die satisfied with my music career”.
BenOaks & Circumstantial Saint team up with spoken word poet & educator sean hogan & the Red Rose’s fave “Artivist” Sir Dominique Jordan on boombap flavored hiphop / alt R&B jawn “Dust on the Ceiling Fan” which dropped tonite @ midnite! cover art by Darren Jordan.
This reggae / dancehall mega music collab from the Bones Culture collective reminds you to face your fears and let them go. You get many different takes on what it can mean to ‘Let GO!’ From the lyrical flexing of two spoken word titans- Circumstantial Saint & Sir Dominique Jordan; to the haunting vox of Kalamitye & the vibes of Android Ed. This bass heavy DUB is some of the best production work from triphop producer BenOaks.
