    --------
    Ben Baller recently opened up about his dynamic life journey in an engaging interview. Known as "Ben Baller" since 1992, the name stemmed from his athletic prowess during his college years at UC Berkeley, where he initially focused on football and attempted to join the basketball team. During his athletic career, he transferred to San Francisco State, getting the opportunity to play against the legendary Steve Nash. Despite initial challenges, Ben managed to effectively guard Nash, a memorable highlight in his sporting endeavors.
    Post-college, Ben pursued fine arts and gained significant experience as Tia Carrere’s personal assistant. This role, although filled with menial tasks, serendipitously introduced him to a club promoter. Ben Baller’s DJ career took off unexpectedly when he was asked to substitute for a missing DJ at the famed Roxbury nightclub. His talent caught the attention of many, eventually leading to a pivotal moment when Denzel Washington facilitated his entry into larger DJ gigs, solidifying his place in the entertainment industry.

    A lot of us were heavily into hip hop and just creative in general, and out there making moves. Today's youth are a bunch of dope friends, out here robbing people, killing each other, and complaining about how unfair things are.
    I don't quite know all the nuts & bolts involved with WTF happened to get us to this sad point. Things were crazy in my day, but it's just NASTY now...we (Gen X) weren't dope fiends. We weren't lazy either ‼️

      As far as when he starts his hiphop stories, everything he says happened
      He worked at Priority Records, he met Dr Dre, he helped sign Master P & JayZ….he left Priority bc Dre offered him a job at Aftermath & I believe he left a little after Eminem got signed
