What is Beno's Basslines and Bylines?


Beno's Basslines and Bylines is a blog that will ultimately include photos, video, artwork, interviews, commentaries and random musings from me. Although I like to write, I am struggling with what to write and publish in this blog. Some stuff is easy to decide on. Interviews, no problems. Comments on things that I think are good, not an issue. But there are some topics that for me are sensitive and people may not necessarily see it how I see it. However, I feel more comfortable tackling some of these same subjects in a rap. You see, this whole blogging and website and any other entertainment vehicle I use, all comes from the artist side of me. And being an artist we have the ability to reach a broader audience faster than many other people would dare to dream.

Although, I have had my share of victory in the music industry, I still am not where I want to be. My ultimate goal is to become a philanthropist. I want to be able to fund educations, buildings, programs and anything else that I feel will help the community. I know that it is possible for me to reach this stage, because I believe in the blessings of God. I know that he can take my life and bless it in an instant that I cannot even fathom. Admittedly so, I am already blessed. I have a beautiful wife who is successful, I have my own equipment that I can record music on, I have a great career ahead of me, and I can still play baseball on the weekends, (as of this writing, Beno's baseball team won the championship for the Mexicana/Americana baseball league in Albuquerque, New Mexico). And I have the desire and knowledge to help other people and that is where I know I am most valuable.

In the future I hope to use my writing to pursue other goals. I would like to write a book about the music industry and how to do it yourself. I also have a mean idea for a movie that I hope to make a reality one day. Until then, I keep on writing my own raps and recording them and writing for OZONE Magazine’s Rap Quest Section (Big Up to JB and OZONE Mag, for giving me that chance).

May God continue to bless you and keep you as you strive to make your dreams a reality. If you need help dreaming, holla at me, cause I dream all day, every day!

Hip-Hopfully Yours,

Beno
