Rad music blog Death or Desire gave a truly incredible review of “Summer’s Day” – a spoken word + jazz collaboration between our cofounder & creative director BenOaks & new lyrical artist LEE MORR.
Sultry & powerful spoken word from LEE MORR x BenOaks
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!
BenOaks new trap monster feat. 66notes + Circumstantial Saint
Have you ever felt abandoned by God? All alone with no one to turn to?
66notes take us on an emotional lyrical journey on our new bass-heavy trap banger “Don’t Ever Let Me Go” produced by BenOaks. Which also features a spoken word intro by Circumstantial Saint.
This single is remarkable since it is the first time Ben has started a beat. Finished mixing it. Sent to 66notes. And 66notes sent his mix back- all within 24 hours.
BenOaks and 66notes have been making music together for over 10 years but have yet to meet in person! Circumstantial Saint & BenOaks released their debut spoken word + R&B album this past fall.

vibe & “Let Go” w this reggae.DUB gem!
This reggae / dancehall / DUB track reminds you to face your fears and let them go. With this mega collaboration from the Bones Culture collective, 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.
From the upcoming debut album by spoken word / affirmations artist Circumstantial Saint
