BENNY REID is a boundary-pushing producer, composer, and saxophonist whose work lives at the intersection of jazz, hip-hop, and film. A recording artist with Fat Beats and Concord, and a proud endorser of Selmer Saxophones and Vandoren, Reid made waves with his Dconstructed series — breathing new life into classic hip-hop records through acoustic, sample-free reinterpretations.
From topping the Billboard charts with Follow the Leader alongside Eric B. & Rakim, to recording The Infamous LIVE with Havoc of Mobb Deep, Reid’s music honors the legacy of hip-hop while reimagining its future. On screen, his compositions have appeared in major films, national campaigns, and Emmy-nominated series like SHOWTIME’s Supreme Team. Whether scoring for screen, producing for artists, or performing with icons, Benny Reid’s work is a testament to fearless creativity and genre-blending artistry.
