Nomadic Wax is a mobile "guerilla-style" production company dedicated to recording, producing, and developing hip-hop talent in Africa’s urban centers. 

Nomadic Wax was conceived by Benny Herson, (AKA Nomad), who stumbled upon a thriving underground hip-hop scene during a trip to Senegal in the summer of 1999.

In 2000 Benny returned to Senegal to write "Fat Beats, Dope Rhymes and Thug Lives" a scholarship-wining thesis documenting the rise of Senegalese hip-hop and the power of hip-hop as a means of political/social expression.
In 2001 Benny returned to Dakar with no more than a hard disk recorder, a laptop computer and a couple of mics. With engineering help from ASCAP award winning engineer Dan Cantor (Notable Productions) and 14 of Benny’s dopest beats, Nomadic Wax recorded "African Underground:" Senegal", the worlds first African hip-hop compilation produced for international release. 

Today Nomadic Wax has successfully produced over 54 of Senegal’s most talented hip-hop groups. With the advent of portable digital studio technology, Nomadic Wax is able record on location, thus reaching artists in the most remote of locations. With the immense success experienced in Dakar, Nomadic Wax will continue in its quest to seek out and produce hip-hop talent around the world.
