Ben Bizzy | “Inwbenza55+”, Thailand’s Finest
Article by Jean Marti (translated by Chetinai Kalamaphichit):
Thailand has been making some serious heat lately! Especially Ben Bizzy, a rising star out of Bangkok, who has been making heavy noise with his new debut album titled “lnwbenza55+” recently dropped on February 20, 2021. Spoken in Thai and English, this bilingual album mixes the elements of Thai and Western styles very well while fusing it with the perfect blend of futuristic sounds. It is very diverse and includes a new style of Melodic Trap, Drill & Pop vibes. The production, artist flows, bilingual lyrics, and melodies of the beats were all executed very well.
The album packs a lot of big features including MADDIECA$H, ZENTYARB, NICECNX, Lazyloxy & Younggu as well as production from Bankroll Baby, NINO, Spatchies & SIXKY!. Out of the whole album, เพื่อนเธอโคตรได้ feat. Lazyloxy (Prod. NINO) stuck out the most. Its smooth melodies and Rnb drums create a playboy type vibe that sets the tone for the night and music video. Produced by NINO, one of Thailand’s top producers, this track can be found here.
In a one on one interview with Ben Bizzy, he quoted, “All of the songs are reflected from my real experiences. I’ve been through a lot these past couple years and I just want to share my life with the audiences”.
This is his debut album and he surely did not disappoint. If you’re a smoker, ready to dance in the club or simply vibe to something new, then this project is right for you. Its autotune upbeat electronic trap pop vibes and futuristic new sounds of Thailand makes this album very diverse and full of experimental styles that capture the listeners’ attention. Expect two more albums from Ben coming out later in the year as he aims to put Thailand on the map and be remembered in history as one of Thailand’s top 5 rappers of all time.
“It’s time for people to give THAI HIP HOP a chance. Thank you” -Ben Bizzy
