He began his career around 1991. Once known to his friends as Spaghetti (tall and slim) but later shortened to Spragga. The Benz in his name comes from the sound system for which he used to work for, L.a. Benz, and it is through this that he found his way into the music business at a Dubplate recording session with Buju Banton. The famed elder DJ was slated to do 4 tracks for L.a. Benz but only voiced two and suggested that Spragga do the other two. Since he was new to recording, he free-styled a couple of lines of what would then become Love Mi Gun, a popular tune.

He was the boyfriend of female rapper Foxy Brown.

Spragga played the character of Wayne in the movie 'Shottas', which was directed by Cess Silvera, and co-starred Ky-Mani Marley and Louie Rankin.

For all of my friends (all of my friends) this ones for all of my friends (this a fi all of my friends)

Courtesy of Spragga Benz, red square people you done know Dunkirk Southside all about

Love goes out from the heart enuh east west south and north enuh

Wareika Hill, Rockfort, Coreyville, Newheaven, Riverton Duhaney Park enuh, Mobay

Before my loved ones pass away in the land of the living got to say what my heart say

SWA to the ones that I care about to the ones that I got to be here without yeah

Before my loved ones pass away in the land of the living got to say what my heart say

SWA to the ones that I care about to the ones that I got to be here without

With my friend we grew and as we step in to the world new people we see everywhere

Some come into our lives for a reason, a moment, a season and some dem never disappear

And no matter how far love keep dem near last time when u see them could a be 10 years

Still feel like yesterday just thinking about you just today

There's somewhere in my heart where everything remains the same nothing's changed

You'll always be apart of my life until we link again

Just hold tight happiness is worth the pain we hold flight and switch from plane to plane

Travel night and day from ship ship to train

Neither distance time or space can break these chains

So before your loved ones pass away in the land of the living got to say what my heart say

SWA to the ones that I care about to the ones that I got to be here

Before my loved ones pass away in the land of the living got to say what my heart say

SWA to the ones that I care about to the ones that I got to be here without

Yow no wheat fi teal Google talk and Skype dem just chip in

Technology only make your face be seen

I wish I could a see your body replace the screen

Cracker and carlile love can't redeem Gideon man team Arlon Bally dem a the king

Fi see villa and goose me would a spend everything

Cause somewhere in my heart I'm always there with you and somewhere in my heart you are always there with me too

And somewhere in my heart you are always there as my brothers in my heart you are always there like no other

Hey life is journey lot of corners to turn and if you live and you learn you never get burn

And there's never a chance to get not even a glance of who you love when they gone they never return
