Jarren Benton

JARREN BENTON IN CONCERT:Up-and-coming Atlanta rapper Jarren Benton has emerged as a leftfield hip hop force to be reckoned with, impressing fans with his heavy beats, aggressive flow, and intense live performances. XXL Magazine included Benton in their highly coveted Freshman Class of 2014, and it's easy to see why -- Benton's eerie productions and bizarre lyrical imagery recall recent breakout stars like Earl Sweatshirt and Tyler, the Creator. Whether he's spitting fire on "Skitzo" or getting ticket buyers bouncing with "Go Off", Benton is a rowdy and dynamic performer who always holds nothing back at his adrenaline-filled shows. BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:Born in the small Georgia town of Decatur and raised in Atlanta, Jarren Benton started rapping at an early age, spitting rhymes he describes as "kind of whack" before finding his sound and making a name for himself in the ATL's underground hip hop scene.
