#048 - Jarren Benton on Funk Volume Era, Major Label vs. Independent and More

In this episode of the One More Time Podcast, Jarren Benton talks about the Funk Volume days, the differences between working with a major label vs. being independent, his relationship with Kato on the Track and more!

Jarren Benton is a legendary emcee out of Atlanta formerly signed to Hopsin's Funk Volume. Nicknamed "The Bully" by a disgruntled fan, he fully embraced the moniker and even launched his own freestyle series with the name. Despite not owning the rights to it (sore subject), the song "Skitzo" catapulted his career into another dimension. He was negotiating a deal with Def Jam but when they dragged their feet, another door opened and he joined the Funk Volume family. Over the years, he has been a XXL Freshman, a Roc Nation roster artist, and most recently has seen tremendous success as a fully independent artist. Still going strong - make sure to tap in with him to see what moves he makes next!
