Benny the Butcher & Stove God Cooks: It's steady serving in the 'One Foot' music video
While some might shiver around this time of year, you know someone like Upstate New York rapper Benny the Butcher isn’t feeling nippy in these temps. The case remains the same courtesy of the ‘One Foot’ music video.
Benny delivers his signature vocals and glow up while Stove God Cooks comes through with the assist. Tap in.
Benny The Butcher - the Grammy-Nominated and Emmy-Award-winning member of Buffalo’s acclaimed Griselda collective - unleashes a new single and music video entitled “One Foot In” ft. Stove God Cooks, produced by HIT-BOY, via Def Jam Recordings.
“One Foot In” turns up the volume and sets the stage for the release of the Butcher’s highly anticipated new album EVERYBODY CAN’T GO, arriving on January 26, 2024.
A head-nodding beat sets the tempo for the track as he lays down some ground rules. “Everybody can’t go, and you probably won’t make it.” He threads together one quotable rhyme after another with a precise flow. Taking a victory lap, he gets braggadocious, “You beat out the best, and then you weed out the rest,” and he confesses, “Now look at God, I wrote this verse in my GRAMMY outfit.” Meanwhile, the hook illustrates his duality as he examines a life with one foot in the streets and one in the rap game. The accompanying visual illustrates this vibe on-screen as Benny simply shines.
Last month, the proud member of Buffalo’s Griselda collective served up the single “Big Dog” featuring Lil Wayne. “Big Dog” has already amassed 3.2 million Spotify streams and counting, in addition to 2.5 million YouTube views on the music video. It earned widespread critical acclaim as The FADER praised how “they are clearly having fun with their bars.” Stereogum raved, “Sometimes, Benny The Butcher and Lil Wayne get together to rip an Alchemist beat to pieces.” Brooklyn Veganproclaimed, “It finds the Butcher’s boom bap revival sounding as gritty and alluring as ever.”
