Born and raised in Dallas, Texas, hip hop artists and real-life brothers, Crash Benzie and 5AM developed an eclectic taste in music that gives them a truly unique sound. Both deeply influenced by 90’s hip hop artists such as Wu Tang, Tupac and Dr Dre, Crash first cut his teeth in the music industry playing bass and doing vocals for several successful local rock/metal bands. Although both developed a passion freestyling independently, it wasn’t long before they were making music together.
Having opened for artists including Jedi Mind Tricks, D12, Obie Trice, and Lil Scrappy, the two have honed their skills as performers and consistently receive warm receptions from crowds. Having recently released their new single, “Power Moves”, the record has already made its way onto promotional CDs and mixtapes along side industry heavyweights such as Drake, Meek Mill and TI.
Having toured across the Southeast, the two have rocked shows and connected with artists and producers throughout Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi. Now based on the West Coast (Los Angeles, CA), they explained how refreshing it was to be back in the South.
Starting their own production company, Shoctaw Nation Entertainment, the brothers look forward to expanding from just producing music and get into film, events and digital media as well. The goal is to further build their brand through online and offline strategies that will enable them to launch a full fledged label and expose other West Coast talent.
Currently working on their new album, which they hope to have completed by the end of March, Crash and 5 are looking to connect with producers and build their management team. Once the project is completed, they plan to get back on the road, touring and doing shows. This time on the West Coast.
