Bentley Robles & Kyle Payne, Hercules | Beaming with Pride

In the 45^th edition of Beaming with Pride (2026), we highlight “Hercules” performed by Bentley Robles featuring Kyle Payne. 

Are you ready to beam with P-R-I-D-E? Beaming with Pride highlights songs by LGBTQ musicians and allies, offering background, analysis, and discussion of the decadent bops served up. All genres are welcome, and both classics and new songs are recognized. So, without further ado, in the 45th edition of Beaming with Pride (2026), we highlight “Hercules” performed by Bentley Robles featuring Kyle Payne.

Woo 💅! Our favorite, yellow-haired gay pop star, Bentley Robles, ate that shit up, NO CAP! Rather than sing early on his single, “Hercules”, he raps, oozing with confidence.  Filled with personality, Robles continues, “Oopsie I got too jacked / Pecs right down to my ass / Can’t control my impulses / Guess Eso es lo que es.” Pecs down to the ass? Gah-day-um, boiii 😍! Robles gets an assist on the eighth track from his debut album, Olympus, courtesy of gay rapper Kyle Payne. Robles, Payne, and FLORIO (Dominic Florio) wrote “Hercules.” FLORIO also produced the infectious two-minute-and-change bop.

Booties will get a workout while listening to “Hercules.” The sickening percussive beat provides a mighty anchor.  With the sleek rhythmic synths, the gay club is alive and well.  After his big-time, un-pitched verse, Bentley Robles briefly delivers some sweet, sung vocals.  Even as sweet as his voice sounds, Bentley continues to be cocky and confident, as he is “Breaking all their skulls between my thighs.” As epic as the first verse and refrain are, it is the chorus where Robles most kicks ass and takes names.  You might say, he gives a herculean effort!

“Look at me

I’m hulked like Hercules

So sorry

I’m pretty and I’m sweet

Look at me

I’m hulked like Hercules

Can’t you see

This papi’s been released.”

Kyle Payne delivers some mean rhymes that are gay, gay, GAY! He boldly proclaims, “I am every man’s favorite prize / This ass, it’s an Enterprise.” Ooh-wee, he’s proud of that peach 🍑! There are numerous eyebrow-raising, unforgettable moments from his verse including “Eyes Wide Shut, make him pledge first / Got me like mut, all fours, had to edge first / Drink in my cup, I might let him make the wedge squirt,” and “Take it from the back, but I enter through the main door / Check the name, ain’t gotta wonder what the Payne for.” All told, Bentley Robles and Kyle Payne cook on “Hercules”.  The song is well written, well produced, and most of all, well performed.  The gays have a summer bop for many years to come, and anytime of the year!
