In this episode of Before They Were Famous, we dive into the remarkable journey of Lil Man J, the young rapper who's making waves in the hip-hop world with his uncanny resemblance to Lil Baby. From his challenging beginnings to his rapid rise to fame, Lil Man J's story is nothing short of inspiring.

Meet Lil Man J, born Jack Benfield on June 20th, 2005, in York, North Carolina. Despite facing medical challenges like scoliosis, a cleft palate, and hand joint issues from an early age, he refused to let these obstacles define him.

Realizing he needed better resources to pursue his dream seriously, J started working at an auto-body shop at 15 to invest in his music career. With newfound determination, he began recording under the name Lil Man J. J's journey continued as he dropped original compositions on YouTube and gained recognition with tracks like "Imma Be Alright," which garnered 65,000 streams.

May 2022 marked a significant milestone when Lil Man J graduated from Clover High School a year ahead of his peers, setting the stage for his hip-hop journey.

Despite a brief hiatus and disillusionment with investing in music, J returned to the scene, creating songs like "Never" and "What I’m On."
Witness the unexpected explosion of "Cap Freestyle" in June 2022, where Lil Man J's uncanny resemblance to Lil Baby caught the world's attention, earning millions of views and even Lil Baby's curiosity.

Learn how J's hard-earned rap income led to a stylish upgrade, fresh new kicks to complement his budding career. Discover J's journey as he released hit after hit, including tracks like "Rowdy" and "Loyalty," eventually culminating in his first EP, "Save the Summer," released in May 2023.

Find out about J's exciting venture into live performances, including his upcoming show in Los Angeles, which promises to be a monumental moment for his fans.

As Lil Man J's career continues to ascend, we ponder the question: Is there room in the hip-hop community for both Lil Baby and Lil Man J?
