About
Ben Reilly is a visionary rapper and world-builder, blending hip-hop with the immersive storytelling of comic books. Raised in Atlanta by way of Brooklyn, New York, his name nods to Marvel’s Ben Reilly but also symbolizes self-acceptance. Since his 2021 debut mixtape ‘Freelance’, he’s captivated audiences with dynamic flows, introspective lyricism, and cinematic sound design, drawing inspiration from legends like Jay-Z, André 3000, Kendrick Lamar, Lil Wayne, and Prince. Beyond music, Ben is his own creative director, crafting intricate rollouts and visuals—turning listening events into immersive experiences and designing superhero-inspired concepts. His alter ego, Heroman, embodies resilience, a theme central to his upcoming album ‘SAVE’, a superhero origin story exploring power and responsibility. Deeply influenced by comics, he mirrors their themes in his music, visuals, and branding, making every artistic choice intentional. With collaborations alongside serpentwithfeet, Guapdad4000, Chris Patrick, Marco Plus, Wowgr8 of EARTHGANG, Zyah Bell, SwaVay, and REASON, as well as touring with acts such as WESTSIDE BOOGIE plus partnerships with brands like D’Ussé and Topo Chico, Ben Reilly is redefining hip-hop through the lens of a hero’s journey—where music, visuals, and storytelling merge to create a lasting legacy.
