How many of you expect to listen to some great melodies from a person who is at home in sports? No, we are not saying that we do not have such kinds of multi-talents all over the world, but such instances are rare. One such person is Benjamin Quran Dupree or Benny Hondo.
Who is Benjamin Quran Dupree?
In short, Ben Dupree is many things in one body. You cannot describe him in one word as he is the pool of talent.
From his high school days at the Susquehanna Twp, he has been a great name in the field of football and even on the basketball court with the tag as one of the best players.
Dupree has caught the attention of everyone with his excellent performance at Citadel. The basketball days of Dupree are over. He has been the triple option of the head coach of Charleston, South Carolina Military School, Kevin Higgins.
What makes him more attractive on the field? There are very few players in the level of college football who can change the direction swiftly, on the FCS or the FBS level. He is one of a kind when he trunks out to be a faster playmaker on the ground who performs his actions quite quickly.
From Ben Dupree to Benny Hondo, this star performer has a lot to share about his journey with his admirers. Well, let us tell you one thing, that Benjamin Quran Dupree hasn’t fixed himself up only in the world of sports. His music albums are burning proof of that.
Hondo, i.e., his stage name, describes him best as he is slaying the ground both on and off the stage. This groundbreaking artist came up with his “Star Power,” a superhit album that features the songs of the producer Maaly Raw and Mexikodro in 2020.
The super versatile Hondo also amazed us with his second album, “Star Power 2,” in the year 2021, which marks his continuous growth even in the field of music.
How inspiring is the journey of Hondo?
Benny’s origin belongs to Philadelphia, PA. He came to Harrisburg, PA, with his family, where he started his journey as a standout high school. His amazing excellence in both basketball and football didn’t take him much time to take his place on the ground.
After moving to Harrisburg at the age of 6, Dupree had a very keen interest in sports from his very childhood. His leadership has also been seen throughout the starting of his sports career in his total yards and total touchdowns.
His talent has led him to bag a total of 1000 points in his high school basketball career. After high school, he received a full scholarship to play Quarterback at the Citadel. He has also set a school record for Most Touchdowns in a game against Old Dominion University.
As he finished his graduation, he headed to Japan to play “The XLeague”, the professional football league.
Dupree even has the tremendous achievement of winning the Championship that he played at Running Back for Panasonic Impulse in his very first year.
Dupree has played at least 33 games in his entire career. This includes at least 24 of the straight starts through three of the seasons.
This former footballer also has a total of 1671 yards, 53 completions in 103 attempts for 656 yards, and 18 touchdowns in his bag.
The journey from a hardcore sportsman to a famous singer is quite interesting. He also grew up listening to the Meek Mill and Philadelphia – area rappers who have served him as his inspirations.
He turned his passion into a hit several years ago when he was playing professional football in Japan. Also, he has written and produced his entire first album, “Star Power”.
Though there has been a pause after his first musical creation, a gig as an assistant coach in Susquehanna Township has inspired him again. The result of it is his second creation, “Star Power 2“. This literally all-in-one artist is about to become the musical sensation of the age with his great rap tracks.
