Born Godwin Benjamin, winning is not only a part of this up and coming rapper’s name, but it’s in his blood. The Brooklyn upstart is a New York city teacher by day, and a rapper by night.
“I wanted to teach in Brownsville specifically because I can relate. Most of my students come from broken homes like me, and are being forced to grow up in environments that limit their opportunities. I know the importance of them being able to see somebody that looks like them in my position.”
Godwin’s sound can speak to both the streets and the scholar. And with the addition of a rapper like Styles P, who is well respected as a street scholar himself, “Can I Talk” is a promising first release to kickstart the new year.
