Benny Mails Unveils New Single "Buried Alive"

Quickly-rising South London rapper Benny Mails has unveiled his brand new single Buried Alive. Produced by Josh Crocker and Tom Henry, Buried Alive is Benny Mails' most potent offering to date, blending psychedelic tones, hard-hitting beats and the incisive lyricism of an urgent young talent.  Stream it below!



Speaking about the song Benny said,

is about the pressure of needing the amount of money you need in London to survive, and on the other hand not letting it become something that’s overwhelming emotionally. It’s about not allowing yourself to be stuck in the grip of debt.

Buried Alive follows the premiere of the video for Passion, a striking highlight from his debut mixtape Aware.

Brought up in the midst of South London’s grime scene whilst also listening to heroes like Nas on the one hand, and the discovery of his family’s funk and jazz records on the other, Benny's early experiences of playing live weren’t that of a typical London rapper: Benny break-danced and performed contemporary dance from a young age with the likes of b-boy legend Crazy Legs and the Zulu Nation.
