Music Career

Bentley has been active in NYC’s rap community since 2003. Inspired by a collection of Stretch and Bobbito bootleg tapes given to him by an older cousin Bentley picked up the mic.

His first tape was released in 2005 was met with modest support from locals. Bentley’s 2007 follow-up full length earned praise from fellow NYC rappers U-God and Jadakiss as well as producer Harry Fraud.

Bentley’s sophomore LP was delayed multiple times during negotiations with labels but a deal never materialized. After unmastered demos from these sessions were leaked by hackers Bentley stepped away from rap professionally.

Most recently he can be seen in the background of the music video for Euro Step by Buffalo rapper Westside Gunn. Bentley says he still listens voraciously but is too busy with Blaseball to return to making music.
