New York flexing? You better believe it. Buffalo’s own Benny The Butcher suits up and gets ready for a full-fledged new album rollout courtesy of a ‘BRON’ music video.
With buzz building for the Everybody Can’t Go album, it’s all eyes on the basketball inspired tune with ‘BRON’ sparking must-see feels.
Benny The Butcher, the Grammy-Nominated and Emmy-Award-winning member of Buffalo’s acclaimed Griselda collective, unveils a new single and music video entitled “BRON” out today via Def Jam Recordings. Listen HERE and watch HERE. It brings us another step closer to the arrival of his highly anticipated new album, EVERYBODY CAN’T GO, on January 26, 2024. Pre-order/Pre-save HERE.
The track’s soulful keyboard loop wraps around a thick beat as Benny lyrically muscles his way into the spotlight with a warning, “The Butcher coming!” He leans into a confident and charismatic cadence with bold bars. He affirms, “In my city, I’m King Kong,” and cleverly confides, “I can’t resist all this winning. It’s like me and success built a bond.” The black-and-white visual finds him in a Hapeville, GA school gymnasium at 5am. Local basketball players hit the court, while he raps in the locker room and in the paint. It undeniably evokes the victorious spirit of his rhymes.
“BRON” furthers the momentum from his recent anthem “One Foot In” ft. Stove God Cooks, produced by HIT-BOY. Beyond racking up 441K Spotify streams and 524K YouTube views on the music video, the latter incited critical applause. Stereogum noted, “Benny’s new single “One Foot In” is all about existing in the music business and the criminal underworld at the same time — a difficult proposition for anyone.” Clash professed,“‘One Foot In’ goes hard from the first note to last,” and REVOLT highlighted how “the track gives fans a vivid look into the Buffalo emcee’s dark past.” Brooklyn Vegan put it best, “Everyone’s in top form on this one. It’s gritty and gleaming all at once, with a hook you’ll be humming after one listen and verses from Benny and Stove God that find them going as hard as ever.” Listen HERE.
Benny set off his Def Jam era with “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 Vegan proclaimed, “It finds the Butcher’s boom bap revival sounding as gritty and alluring as ever.”
Benny The Butcher’s flow might be the only thing colder than the winter in his native Buffalo, NY. He realized his destiny at just 10 years old, honing his lyricism with wisdom and wit. He quietly established himself as one of the most elite rappers in the game with a series of mixtapes under the moniker of B.E.N.N.Y. During 2014 he joined forces with his cousins and Westside Gunn and Conway the Machine, to form the trio known as Griselda.”
The group flipped the game upside down as Benny prolifically dropped solo projects, including My First Brick and Butcher On Steroids with DJ Green Lantern. 2018 saw Benny reach critical mass with Tana Talk 3, paving the way for the tastemaker-approved Burden of Proof in 2020. The latter cracked the Top 30 of the Billboard 200 anchored by “Legend,” and “New Streets.” He leveled up again to another stratosphere in 2022 with Tana Talk 4, debuting in the Top 25 of the Billboard 200 and spawning the hit single “Johnny P’s Caddy” [feat. J. Cole]. The single reached gold status vaulted onto the Billboard Hot 100, and tallied over 100 million streams and counting. However, he comes out swinging in 2024. Benny’s icy flow, infectious hooks, and irresistible sense of soul drive his 2024 opus, EVERYBODY CAN’T GO [Def Jam Recordings]. The Butcher is back, and the bars cut deep. Beware.

Armani Caesar, Benny The Butcher and Stove God Cooks get gritty in their Hunnit Dollar Hiccup
Griselda’s Armani Caesar is nice-nice with the wordplay so it’s only natural she’s going to hit different when paired with Benny The Butcher and Stove God Cooks for their new ‘Hunnit Dolla Hiccup’ music video.
Griselda’s Armani Caesar is nice-nice with the wordplay so it’s only natural she’s going to hit different when paired with Benny The Butcher and Stove God Cooks for their new ‘Hunnit Dolla Hiccup’ music video.
The visual slaps and even on a slowed down beat they all body the beat. Let your eyes glaze over on this gritty music video.
Before she even dropped her debut project, Griselda’s First Lady Armani Caesar received a “Best Rap Verse of 2020” nod from Complex for her contribution (“Lil Cease”) to Westside Gunn’s Flygod Is An Awesome God 2.
Armani’s Griselda debut project, The Liz (2020), was met with immediate press and fan acclaim and the project was highlighted by esteemed press outlets such as Pitchfork, Rolling Stone, Complex, Fader, Stereogum, Hypebeast, CoS, XXL, HNHH, Uproxx, DJbooth, Forbes and NPR just to name a few. The Liz featured appearances from Griselda’s core (Westside Gunn, Benny The Butcher and Conway The Machine) and production from DJ Premier, Camouflage Monk and 808 Mafia.
Since The Liz was released, Armani has raised her profile exponentially, ripping guest verses on Westside Gunn’s the aforementioned Flygod Is An Awesome God 2 (“Lil Cease”), his Shady Records debut Who Made The Sunshine (“Liz Loves Luger” & “98 Sabers” Feat Conway The Machine & Benny The Butcher) and #HWH8 (“Forest Lawn” which also featured 2 Chainz), Conway The Machine’s From King To A GOD (“Anza”), two songs on Griselda’s Conflicted Official Music Soundtrack (“Mission Accomplished” with Westside Gunn, Conway & Benny & her solo offering (“Nerve Of You”) and most recently with her fellow 716 queen Che Noir’s Food For Thought (“Ladies Brunch”). Armani also performed standout sets at Coachella (both weeks), Rolling Loud (NYC, Miami & LA), Made In America Festival, Day In Vegas and Art Basel.
Now, #ARMANISZN is officially here. After announcing her upcoming sophomore album, The Liz 2, with “Hunnit Dolla Hiccup” featuring Benny The Butcher & Stove God Cooks, Armani returns to share the video for the project’s lead single.
While The Liz officially put Armani Caesar on the map, The Liz 2 will make her a star.
Armani Caesar’s The Liz 2 will be released on 9-16-22 via Griselda/GXFR Records.

Benny The Butcher keeps it 100 on Conway The Machine and Griselda status

Check out some sneak peeks from the interview and gear up for the full chop up session at 12 PM PT/3 PM ET.
"I’m gonna break something down for you… We’re going to always be crew…I don't think Conway is still signed to Griselda, but that's “signed" to Griselda. He's going to always be Griselda. And no, West is the sole owner of that. I think that's one of the big misconceptions is that they own it together. But that's West's baby. Like Conway tell you if West own a building, he did the construction type of thing…”
"It ain’t nothing to even trip off, for real. I don’t know what’s going on… everybody just doing so much man, just on the individual side that we don’t really kinda be having the time to really connect all the time and link. We don’t all live in the same city no more, we don’t really hang out and do s**t no more, see each so all these conversations we don’t necessarily get to have all the time."

So, Benny The Butcher is accused of stealing some woman’s earrings. Let’s talk hip-hop!
This situation is crazy as hell and I don’t even know how true this sh*t is. It’s all alleged but Benny The Butcher’s being accused of stealing some woman’s earrings. So allegedly allegedly the whole situation went down a couple weeks ago when he was at a hotel with some shorty or whatever and then apparently the following day she realizes that her $10,000 diamond earrings are gone. She calls Benny like ‘Yo, where’s my earrings at. It was only me and you up in this hotel room.’
He’s like, ‘Oh yeah, I do have them. I’m going to return them to you.’ Allegedly allegedly. I mean it just sounds weird. It sounds like some shit that ain’t really happen but anyway, this is what she says. happens right. Then she says she called him again a couple days later and he says you know what, those earrings, I lost them. My bad.
So then she files a police report on him and instead of just being like ‘Fuck it just give me the money,’ you know Benny’s got money so he doesn’t really have to steal anybody’s earrings. The whole thing just sounds weird to me.
But let me know what y’all think about this in the comments.

Benny the Butcher doesn't want you wearing fake watches around him
Want to make a quick $1,000 from Benny The Butcher? Just find a fake Cartier watch and have it catch the Griselda member’s attention. Turns out the hip-hop heavyweight had to check a friend on donning a bogus Cartier watch and didn’t think twice.
