Spragga Benz

Spragga Benz, whose real name is Carlton Errington Grant, is a Jamaican dancehall deejay renowned for his influential contributions to the genre since the early 1990s. Born on May 30, 1969, in Kingston, Jamaica, he entered the dancehall scene under the watchful eye of Buju Banton’s mentor, producer and sound system operator Bobby Digital, and later, famed dancehall artist Buju Banton himself. Spragga Benz made a splash with hits like "Jack It Up" and "Could a Deal" which catalyzed his rise in the dancehall community.

His distinctively smooth voice paired with his ability to infuse his music with storytelling and social commentary has ensured his longevity in the music industry. Benz's knack for capturing the essence of Jamaican street life and culture in his lyrics helped earn him international acclaim, particularly with his 1994 hit single “Boom Bye Bye.” Beyond his music career, Spragga Benz has also dipped into acting, most notably in the Jamaican film "Shottas" in 2002. Through his recent releases such as "Work Fi This" and "Hypocrite Love," he continues to resonate with audiences by blending traditional dancehall rhythms with contemporary sounds, maintaining his status as a respected artist in the reggae and dancehall spheres.
