Benzino of Love and Hip Hop Atlanta is apparently gearing up to be more than Stevie J’s right hand man next season.

The hip-hop executive/reality show star whose real name is Raymond Scott, has been hitting the gym in preparation for his latest stint on the show.

Last season you saw Benzino dump?Karlie Redd?and now he’s officially back on the market.

I recently received a few new photos of Benzino from his publicist, who also sent along a message to the ladies.

Benzino’s message + photos of his “new & improved” bod below…

Hi ATLien,

While preparing for an all new season of Love and Hip Hop Atlanta, Benzino finally gets out the bathroom and show the ladies what he’s GOT!!

He’s single and looking!! Check out the photos.

[Sidebar: I’m confused about him coming out the bathroom… but ummkay.]

Benzino sheds his inhibitions in a few shirtless photos.

Single again… back on the prowl!

So whattaya think ladies?

Is this “new & improved” Benzino sexy or not?

Shout out TRIO Entertainment/McQueen Media for the pics…
