Bene: World in the world, rap in the world

 – Slovakia

Bene (Marián Benkovič, 1984) is a rapper at heart, but also a talented poet. He sings evocative verses. As a rapper, he won three Radio_Head Awards, twice with the band Modré hory (Blue Mountains) and once for his solo album.

He has several musical projects under different names (Bene, Peťo Tázok, Beny M, René Gát) and in his book Emeriho príbeh (Emeri’s Story, 2024, KK Bagala) they all meet for the first time. Is it a novella with a rap album? Or is it a rap album with a novella at the end?
