Charlotte, NC rap artist, Cuttaman 100gran, paid homage to his muses in his fiery new-wave hip-hop track, Bump My Music, release today on February 3rd.

Staying in the fast lane and riding his own wave, the artist that has been adding dynamism to the airwaves since 2019 carries hints of Kevin Gates, Rod wave, and Roddy Ricch in his sonic signature while scribing a fresh, grinding urban aesthetic, which balances hard hitting percussion and wavy reverb-heavy production.

Bump My Music, capable of adding adrenaline to any high-vibe hip-hop playlist, was recorded in The Playroom in Charlotte and engineered by Bungies.

Cuttaman 100gran said:

“When you have women in your life that are inspired by your stories, telling them becomes a lifestyle. Them being around me on a day-to-day basis makes every lyric that much more surreal. Their enthusiasm inspired the track.”

ABOUT

It all started in my dorm room in college in 2014. From there, I found the inspiration to build a worldwide audience with the mysterious sound quality and brutal comedic honesty in my music, create a brand that catches up with my musical creativity and make it a career.

My brand is called Polished Gods; we are refined, sophisticated and elegant; our virtues are passion, patience, persistence, purity, polish and the belief that no man or entity is bigger than god.
I take influence from Five Heartbeats, Lil Wayne, Kurt Cobain and Whitney Houston while continuing to be inspired by my collaborators, Calicoby, Von Bost, and Charmz, who also represent my brand.

So far in my career, I’ve opened for Pastor Troy in South Carolina, recorded records for Dr Dre and performed in front of 8,000 people at a concert in RockingHam, NC.

Benicio Bridges Ghanaian Heritage and UK Rap on New Single ‘EVE’

For Benicio, music is a way of bringing together the different worlds that have shaped him.

His new single ‘EVE’ does exactly that, blending the unmistakable sound of Ghanaian HipLife with Afroswing and contemporary UK rap. Joined by fellow collaborators COLLINZ and SLO, Benicio delivers an upbeat, romantic track built around a recognisable sample from Ghanaian HipLife legends VIP.

At its heart, ‘EVE’ is a celebration of attraction and admiration, but for Benicio, the track represents something much deeper: the meeting point between his British upbringing and Ghanaian heritage.

“It means everything to me because I feel like it’s where my two worlds intersect. I’m combining my interest in rap music with my Ghanaian heritage. It perfectly symbolises my upbringing in a way which feels authentic to me on all fronts.”

The track itself came together organically during a studio session with SLO. Benicio immediately began writing to the beat, initially treating the idea as a freestyle, before SLO reworked the structure into the finished record.

Longtime friend and collaborator COLLINZ was then brought in for an additional verse, with Teigr handling the mix. Adding an especially personal touch, Benicio’s girlfriend also contributed background vocals to the chorus.

The result is a fun, energetic and romantic introduction to Benicio’s next chapter.

That chapter follows his work with the RUDEWRLD collective, whose Dreams Worth Fighting For tape reached the Top 15 of Ghana’s All Album Charts and Top 5 of Ghana’s World Genre Chart. His music has also received playlist support from Spotify and Apple Music.

Now, with his forthcoming debut mixtape A Beautiful Day on the horizon, Benicio is stepping further into his own artistic identity.

‘EVE’ captures that intersection perfectly: infectious, personal and unapologetically rooted in who Benicio is.
