  • And yet another Jamaican entertainer dead and gone.... I made this as soon as i heared about it, cause it hit me hard.. Leave the entertainer alone! Cau right now Buju locked up and we probably ain't gonna hear from him inna while, and now Risto Benji gets shot?! And i know he had done some things which makes u lift an eyebrow but frankly i don't give a flying fuck! I loved him as a musician and who knows maybe he would have made some more really good tunes for me to shock out on, but that ain't gonna happen now is it? You stupid fuck(s)....
    here's a article concerning his death:
    One of the top deejays in the 1980s, Risto Benji, real name Michael Benjamin, was shot and killed on Monday night.
    According to a release from the Constabulary Communication Network (CCN), 36-year-old Benjamin, of Unity Drive, Kingston 11, was shot and killed by unknown assailants last night along Vietnam Lane, Church Pen, St Catherine.
    Reports from the Old Harbour police are that about 10 p.m., Benjamin was at home when he was pounced upon by a man armed with a gun who opened fire hitting him. Benjamin was taken to the Spanish Town Hospital where he was pronounced dead.
    Johnny Wonder of 21st Hapilos is extremely saddened by his death. "Me and Benji go back to late '80s, early '90s at King Jammy's. We remained friends from those times. Benji lived a hard life and now he is in a better place for sure. God bless him. All of us at 21st-Hapilos send condolences to the Benjamin family and his children," he told THE STAR.
    Veteran and famed producer King Jammy's said he knew Risto Benji from his childhood days and he will be greatly missed.
    "Long time mi know him. From him a likkle bwoy him a tour with us go England and dem place deh. Mi miss him but we neva do any work for a long time. Mi try fi get him back inna di studio but him keep wide," said King Jammy's who produced many of Risto Benji's songs including Gimme De Money.
    Sizzla's engineer Breadback said he was probably one of the last producers Risto Benji did any work with.
    "Last week him voice a tune fi mi and maybe a him last tune dat. Is a tune weh him a lash out 'gainst politics. My duty now is fi put it out 'cause inna di last part ya him did a try fi do some work," Breadback told THE STAR.
    Despite what others may have to say, he said he does not have anything bad to say about Risto Benji.
    "Mi neva have no bad time wid him fi tell yuh di truth. Once yuh time come yuh caan go round dat. Mi just hope dem give him a good send-off. To me is a good bredda and him neva do mi no harm. Mi sorry fi hear but a just life. The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away," he said.
    Risto Benji, who rose to prominence in the late '80s on the King Jammy's label, was known for popular songs such as Peenie Pawnie.

    That 1991 Clash with Beenie is an all time classic, Beenie held his own and didnt get shook when Benji was threatening him, Beenie went on to humiliate him in that dance to the point where Benji actually disses the crowd who booed him, called them dunce, but it was Shabbas words to Benji at the end of the clash that was the death blow...all said and done a Legend in Dance Hall history...
