The Miami Native Locks in with NYC Rapper Fourfive for a Hip-Hop Infused Festival Track
A New Chapter for Benda
Based in the vibrant city of Miami, Benda has been making waves in the electronic music scene, particularly within the bass music genre. Known for his high-energy performances and innovative sound, he returns to Bassrush Records with his latest single, “LEANGUT.” This track marks a significant collaboration with NYC rapper Fourfive, blending syrup-laced trap beats with hard-hitting dubstep energy.
The Essence of “LEANGUT”
“LEANGUT” is more than just a track; it’s a lifestyle anthem that encapsulates the essence of bass music culture. The song opens with Fourfive’s syrup-heavy flows, which ride a futuristic trap backbone. His delivery is infused with a purple-hued lethargy, creating an indulgent atmosphere that sets the stage for what’s to come. The tension builds as the track transitions into a full-blown festival anthem, with Benda unleashing a barrage of fast-flicking hollow hits, skanking brass leads, and tactile sub-bass designed for maximum impact.
Creative Vision Behind the Track
Benda’s creative direction for “LEANGUT” reflects a deep understanding of the genre’s dynamics. He explains, “I knew I wanted the intro to lean into a darker, hip-hop–influenced energy to offset the drop.” His admiration for Fourfive played a crucial role in this collaboration, as he felt that bringing the rapper onto the track was essential to setting the tone. The result is a seamless blend of rap and dubstep that feels both fresh and familiar.
Building Momentum
The release of “LEANGUT” follows Benda’s recent collaboration with OG Nixin on “Public Enemies,” a track that garnered support from various music outlets, including Dubstep uNk and Skope Mag. This momentum translated into a 16-stop U.S. tour, where Benda showcased his electrifying performances at venues and festivals like Apocalypse: Zombieland and Soundcheck. His presence has become a staple across the Insomniac festival landscape, with past appearances at major events such as EDC Las Vegas and HARD Summer.
A Rising Star
Born Niv Ben-David, Benda has steadily carved out a niche for himself in the bass music scene. His sound is rooted in dubstep but is flexible enough to incorporate elements of trap and hip-hop. Early mentorship from Borgore’s Buygore label helped shape his aggressive yet polished sound. Collaborations with industry heavyweights like Excision and Sullivan King have further pushed his production into heavier territories, with tracks like “Overload” and “Tinnitus” showcasing his obsession with momentum and low-end dominance.
The Future of Benda
With “LEANGUT,” Benda continues to sharpen his identity as an artist fully aware of his lane. The single captures an unapologetically heavy sound that merges rap sensibility with a drop-first framework designed for chaos. This calculated approach signals that Benda’s journey with Bassrush is far from over, as he continues to push boundaries within the electronic music landscape.
Availability and Connections
“LEANGUT,” featuring Fourfive, is now available on all major platforms via Bassrush Records. Fans can connect with Benda through his social media channels, where he shares updates on upcoming shows and new music.
