Benjamin, who has created beats for some of the best artistes in the business and has worked with such bands as Atlantik and Machel Montano HD, is currently battling a form of cancer known as Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma.

The cast includes, acclaimed gospel artist Russell Leonce, R&B quartet H2O Phlo, Rocky, Denise Belfon, Barbados soca queen Allison Hinds, Destra Garcia and Machel Montano HD.
