Benjamin, better known as “Ben J” of the New Boyz, was born, October 13, 1991, in Los Angeles, California. He began rapping as a young child, and always visualized himself as being famous. When Earl would get into trouble at home, his mother would often send him to his room to write a rap about his feelings, who knew that this would be a form of training to bring him where he is today. Earl is the oldest of three younger siblings. Growing up without his father, Earl’s mother saw the importance of bringing a strong role model into his life. His mother married in 2003, and together they brought a strong family unit, that Earl desired since he was a child. His mother’s main purpose for supporting Earl’s dream for music was to keep him out of trouble.
Earl began his stay in the High Desert in 2005.
Dominic Thomas, better known as “Legacy” of the New Boyz, was born, October 12, 1991, the older of 2 younger siblings. Despite growing up without his biological father, Dominic gained strong support and guidance from positive family and friend role models his mother brought into his life. His grandfather, who died when Dominic was 10 years of age, was one of his strong role models who showed him what it meant to be a leader. Dominic was raised by both his mother and grandparents. He grasped on to his families creative love for music and leadership. He would spend countless hours reading, drawing and writing poems. As early as age 4 years, Dominic would often sneak passed his bedtime just to read. Interested in rap, Dominic began writing and making beats on his computer.
