Lil Man J Announces New Album 'The Underdawg'

Muti-genre musician Lil Man J has announced that he will be releasing his new album, The Underdawg, on October 16th, 2026. The artist, formerly known as Jackson Benfield, has been making music since he was 16, blending country, hip-hop and other genres throughout his work.

Lil Man J comments:

“This album is the epitome of who I am as an artist and a person, as I’ve always felt misunderstood and out of place at times in my life. I know a lot of people have those feelings, too, and I hope this music inspires them to keep going, without letting anybody dictate what they’re capable of.”
