So here it is.  When we were doing the SocaWeb radio shows in NY and needed something, sometimes I’d show up at your studio in Queens and you’d be working with an artist or laying down tracks for your “Carnival Is” album but you’d always make time to help us out.  In the early days of DC carnival, when it was just the house party on Friday night, no hesitation when we asked you to come down and spin for us, and as usual yuh buss the dance.  Remember the house party you destroyed in BK on Amersfort?  And the one in Rosedale?  Remember the nod of encouragement when the CID crew played in Coconuts for the fist time?  Remember the time I called you up last minute to come and play live for the radio show cause the Mini Disc player was acting up?  In a matter of minutes I pulled up outside your crib and you were standing outside with your CD mixer in hand, headphones on, ready for battle!  Another one of your cutting edge moments, no one was doing it live in studio on 93.5 yet, you even went up there and showed them how to hook into their own board.  Just a few examples of many the times you went out of your way to help us out.  They say the true test of class is how you treat people who can’t possibly do anything for you.  To a class act, a talented brother:

From the SocaWeb fam and the CID/Trinijunglejuice fam, thanks for the music and the memories pal, you will be sorely missed as a friend and as one of the best in the business.

Rest in Peace Brudda

My earliest memories of Benji was in the early 1990s when the Benjamins lived closed to the Macoya tracks. Benji would be hustling home with his LPs (way before CDs days) to lay down his latest deejaying skills. Many house parties were at Benji's house (of which my grandmother refused to let me attend). However, I would listen to the sweet sounds in the still air (pretending I was there). Next day, we would talk about the party and so much more. I spoke to him a month before his passing and our conversation would forever play in my memory. Eternal love my third brother!<br/><br/>
