Raymond Scott (born October 24, 1965) is a rapper known as Benzino. The rapper was the former co-owner of The Source, a popular hip hop magazine in the United States. Originally the rapper was residing in Boston, Massachusetts when he met The Source founder Dave Mays while visiting Harvard University. From 1988 to 2001, Benzino was a silent partner in the growth of the business. However, in 2001, Benzino acknowledged his involvement in the publication.
The thing Benzino is mostly, or only known for, is his beef between Eminem and Slim Shady Records. Unfortunately, rappers throughout the rap industry have taken Eminems side, thus backfiring on Ray Scott.
As a rapper, Benzino's career has been unsuccessful, compared to many of the artists featured in the publication. Though known for his run-ins with the police, Benzino is most famous for his on-going feud with rap superstar Eminem.
