“I’m Fresh all the time its just who I am!” is what up and coming Hip-Hop artists Fresh says to introduce himself to fans of the unsigned artist. Born Rafael Demitrious Bennett in Birkenfeld, Germany of Sylvia and Robert Bennett and the youngest of three, Fresh has always been considered the “baby boy”. He has been described as charismatic, original, an influential force, dependable, considerate, and a humble individual; thus his music further brings out his appealing personality. Growing up in various areas such as Germany, Italy, Texas, North Carolina, and now residing in Kentucky, Fresh has been introduced and exposed to many cultures and styles of music. It wasn’t until he moved back to the U.S. at the age of 8 when the hip-hop culture began to further influence his goals. Missy “Misdemeanor” Elliot’s “I Can’t Stand The Rain” was the first video seen by Fresh in the U.S. Now 19, has been associated with music personally since the age of 9. Fresh’s music is “Smart, clean, catchy and radio ready…” says D.J. Inkognito, former Def Jam employee, and “Definitely hot!!” says Miss Kiss of L.A.’s 1 Hip-Hop and R&B station Power 106. So with the type of support that Fresh has been receiving from various persons in the music industry, what more to do than release his first album/mixtape?

Now, finished with songs for his debut Mixtape “Satisfaction Guaranteed”, Fresh is developing as an artist and quickly advancing his young career. His artist resume includes various accomplishments such as writing, co-producing, and engineering all of his original tracks, opening for developed major artists such as Young Jeezy and Young Dro, and Grand Hustle comedian Lil' Duvall. Performed for Ron Alexander’s underground show in New York, Club Manny’s in the Bronx, Sony Urban Showcase in Louisville, KY, and Club Downtime in Manhattan. His latest single, ""Like Me"" is also featured on Shine Mixtape Vol. II hosted by Nas and Swizz Beats. Fresh has also collaborated with artists such as: Cashus of Atlanta’s Hipnodik, PhaRo of KY, The Dame of KY, Boon of KY by way of Akron Ohio, RaSho of Milwaukee, WI, City Boi of Atlanta, Potential of Las Vegas, and The Corporation of the Bay and L.A. in California. His contacts and/or connects run very deep and have all come to Fresh wanting to capture a piece of his original style and appealing personality; and all have left satisfied… thus the title, “Satisfaction Guaranteed”.

Not only wanting to be a ""come-n-go"" artist just for a season, Fresh has big goals to accomplish along the musical journey. ""Swizz Beats..."", says Fresh,""has always been my favorite producer, and Cassidy my favorite rapper.... I just find it coincidental that they have linked up under the same label [Full Surface]. So to work with them would be history for me"". When mentioning major collaboration goals, Fresh states ""Producers, producers, producers... where would the music be without the producers"". Fully focused on duplicating continuous ""good"" music, Fresh has reaced to Pop, Electonica, New Wave, Rock, and R&B to venture into his versatility as an artist. And when asked what does he seek to accomplish in this industry, he answered, ""To make what's considered 'different' now into the new 'cool'... I'm a trendsetter. [laughing]"".

Fresh has recently linked up with The Dame and PhaRo for collaborating careers alongside their solo aspirations; simply as B.Ad (Bennett Administration). With hits such as ""We Ready"" & ""Hip Hop"" the young trio has already begun to take the hip-hop game by storm. Also working on their debut album/mixtape, Fresh has not stopped the work yet. Even with school as a college freshman, the hits have not stopped comming from the young and determined hip-hop artist. ""I love the work, the drive, and just the music"" he says, and its shown everytime his voice is put to a track. ""Just put on a beat,"" Fresh stated ""...and Imma do my thing"". With nothing but the world behind him and a great career ahead of him, Fresh continues to put himself to the test to better himself for what lies ahead... So, stay tuned.
