Before he learned to drive, Ben One was already a recording artist who had sold 325,000 units with a hit single on the Billboard Top 100 Charts as a member of the group Strong. Born and Raised on the South Side of Chicago, BenOne's love of music began at the age of 2 as he’d listen to the tunes his stepfather had created for the late blues legend Tyrone Davis. He knew his voice was a gift and that he would eventually begin producing as well as arranging. For him, music was his therapy, “The more I did it, the better I got at it,” Ben states. In 1999 at the age of 12, he and his four younger brothers signed their first record deal with Un-D-Nyable Records, a local label owned by future Chicago White Sox hall of famer Frank Thomas. It was under that particular situation that Ben got his first taste of success with the albums' single, “I Can’t Hide,” which he co-wrote. In 2004 he decided to break out on his own and focus on a solo career.
In 2008 his hard work and dedication paid off when he wrote and recorded “Never Leave My Girl,” which featured Def Jam recording artist Shawnna. The single created such an incredible response from fans and the industry that he inked a single deal with Universal Republic 3 months later. Due to the heavy air-play of “Never Leave My Girl,” Ben has been featured in Consciousness and XXL Magazine and has had numerous radio and television interviews, putting him in his rightful place as one of the top up-and-coming R&B sensations. “I write based on my day-to-day journey and make music that the people can relate to and grow with. I’m not making music to show that I’m a good singer - I’m making music to show I’m the complete package, and most importantly, to inspire others. ” Currently, Ben is in the studio writing, recording, producing, and honing in on his entrepreneurial spirit with the launch of his new label Future Boy Entertainment Group.

"Listen Beyonce, I'm a let you finish.. You had one of the best videos of all time. But at least Taylor Swift writes all of the songs that she claims to write.."
I have always been a fan of Destiny's Child and the solo pieces from each of the remaining three members. It has been a beautiful thing to watch over the last decade. I love watching people Horatio Alger their way to success. It is the American Dream. I enjoy watching others achieve it while I am still on my way up. But I have definitely also been a hater of Beyonce, the person. She has great media training but there is something about 'the real her' that 'really' annoys me. That aside, I have never been able to deny that she is a very talented young woman. She has a beautiful voice and her songwriting credits are extensive. So I'm a lover and a hater.
Now, let us find out that SonyBMG has been involved in some old-fashioned corporate thuggery, hacking an indie artists computer and stealing music and video treatments from independent artists and passing the content on to artists signed to the major label. Madonna and Beyonce are two of the biggest players in the music industry and have been involved with this type of claim this entire decade, although major media outlets have barely reported on the matter. I knew that there was something funny about Beyonce and I feel like my intense hate has been vindicated. She and her former-manager/father, Matthew Knowles, have been taking a lot of credit for the hard work of others in the music industry. They have been wildly successful, that is for certain. But as with all major wealth, to acquire the multi-million dollar fortunes the old saying goes: "If you ain't cheatin', you ain't tryin'."

Accessing unreleased copyrights on a private, protected computer, then using it to enrich yourself to the tune of millions, constitutes:
Felony hacking (you commission or participate in a crime, you did it)
Copyright infringement
Criminal copyright infringement
Fraud
Grand theft larceny
Violation of the Computer Abuse Act
Violation of the Digital Millennium Act
Violations of the RICO Act
Money Laundering
Conspiracy
I understand artistic license and being inspired by another artist, etc. The problem lies when one passes the ideas on as their own without giving proper credit where it is due. Knowles has 'forgotten' to pay the Wilhwlmina Artist Management $88,000 for brokering her $900,000 L'Oreal contract in April 2001. Knowles and family gave Greg Walker of Icon Entertainment the slip to the tune of $25,000 for his services rendered in brokering the $15,000,000 fashion deal for the House of Dereon in 2004. She has publicly claimed to have written "Crazy in Love" and "Irreplaceable," though they were actually written by their respective producers Greg Harrison and Ne-yo. Fans may also be saddened to hear of the ongoing litigation involving such hits as "Survivor", "Baby Boy", and "Independent Women." It should be noted that Beyonce fired her father from her manager position back in 2007 and Destiny's Child member Kelly Rowland followed suit in January 2009. Millions of dollars in royalties are deserving of the plaintiffs, independent artists doing just that: creating art. But decide for yourself.
Blogs and the internets have tried their best to disseminate the message but we all know how easy it is to discredit independent news outlets, especially weblogs."Listen Beyonce, I'm a let you finish.. You had one of the best videos of... more
