Stanley Benton, better known as Stat Quo, is an American rapper. Benton worked his way to college and attended University of Florida, where
he majored in economics and international business in 2000. Benton was contemplating law school, until veteran Southern rapper Scarface
encouraged him to rap professionally. After 50 Cent, Stat Quo was the second artist signed to both Shady Records and Aftermath
Entertainment and became Dr. Dre and Eminem's newest protégé. Stat Quo was supposed to release his debut album, Statlanta, with
Shady/Aftermath but, despite being made three different times, the album was never released by the labels. Statlanta was finally released on 13
July 2010 by Sha Money XL's label Dream Big Ventures.
