Benzino

Benzino (born Raymond Scott in 1964) is an African American rapper as well as the CEO and co-owner of The Source, the top-selling hip-hop magazine in the United States. Raised in Boston, Massachusetts, Benzino met The Source founder and co-owner Dave Mays while Mays was a student at Harvard University; from 1988 to 2001 Benzino served as a silent partner, finally acknowledging his ownership of the magazine in 2001. Benzino's rapping career has been relatively unsuccessful, compared to many of the star hip-hop recording artists featured in his magazine. Although infamous for his run-ins with the police, and his role at The Source, he is most famous for his ill-fated battle with multi-platinum rapper Eminem.
