This song was created by Talib Kweli and Hi-Tek, the duo who signed to upstart underground hip hop label Rawkus Records in 1997. A lot of highly acclaimed music came out of Rawkus Records including the album Black Star by Mos Def & Talib Kweli, and the awesome hip hop compilations – Soundbombing, Soundbombing II, and Soundbombing III.

I’ve gotten two requests for this song. “Ben” made Michael Jackson the third-youngest solo artist, at age fourteen, to score a number-one hit single. It was written by Don Black and Walter Scharf and recorded by Michael Jackson for the Motown label in 1972.
