HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Johnny Nunez / Getty Buffalo stand up! After watching the Buffalo Bills open up the 2022 NFL season by dismantaling the Super Bowl champs, LA Rams, Benny The Butcher blesses the Bills Mafia with some gangsta music to groove to. Coming through with his Black Soprano Family behind him, Benny enlists the talents of Conway The Machine and Cory Gunz for his clip to “Pandemic Flow” where the men blow smoke, drops bars, and toast to the success they’ve accumulated thus far in their careers. From East to West, YG looks like a man on an island and in his clip to “Alone” kicks it in the studio by his lonesome with nothing more than some masked security guards standing behind him as he lays down his vocals in the booth. Interesting concept that’s for sure. Check out...
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: Johnny Nunez / Getty The feud between Freddie Gibbs and Benny The Butcher was one of the oddest moments in recent Hip-Hop history, shattering the idea of a bond between the talented lyricists. The beef escalated after Gibbs was allegedly beaten by goons affiliated with Benny The Butcher. Last Saturday (May 14), Gibbs was at a local dining establishment a day ahead of his Space Rabbit Tour stop in Buffalo. The Gary, Ind. rapper was allegedly mobbed by a group that fans suggested was connected to Benny The Butcher. The following day, images of Gibbs surfaced which added to the chatter that he was beaten. Gibbs and Benny first got into it when the Black Soprano Family honcho said during an interview that a collaborative project was not in the cards. Gi...
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Peacock / Getty It appears that the reported beef between Freddie Gibbs and Benny The Butcher is heating up after Gibbs took to social media to call out rappers for using his name during interviews. During a recent interview on Spotify’s Greenroom, Benny the Butcher spoke about his previous collaborator after he was asked whether or not he and Gibbs would be appearing on any further tracks in the future after the pair previously joined forces on Freddie’s 2020 album Alfredo for the track “Frank Lucas,” as well as on Benny’s 2020 LP Burden of Proof with “One Way Flight.” In response to the questions, Benny was quoted as saying that “the moment of working together came and went, to be honest with you,” before adding, “It’s all love.” Of course, Freddie Gibb...
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Shareif Ziyadat / Getty For all those voicing concerns or spreading the false rumors that the Griselda squad is moving in different directions, it’s time to fix your face. Dubbed the “Claires Back Tour,” Westside Gunn, Conway The Machine, and Benny The Butcher are set to embark on a 10-city tour of the United States this coming spring. 2022 already proved to be a big year for the Buffalo, N.Y. trio, with Conway The Machine releasing his long-awaited major-label debut, God Don’t Make Mistakes, and his cousin Benny The Butcher dropping the potent Tana Talk 4 project. Westside Gunn, currently having a quiet year on the audio side, is still masterminding deals on the backend as he’s always done. Related Stories The squad will rock the Coachella stages in Apri...
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Johnny Nunez / Getty It’s been 25 years since Biggie passed away and left hustlers with a “Do’s and Don’t” list in the classic Life After Death cut, “10 Crack Commandments.” Now Benny The Butcher is taking it upon himself to add 10 more rules to the hustler’s manual and comes through with the visuals to “10 More Commandments” in which he pays much homage and respect to the Notorious B.I.G. while blessing block huggers with more instructions on how to go about their business. Starting off at 20 with “count the money” and working his way down to 10, Benny drops some gems that should be common sense but are often overlooked such as “don’t ever burn the plug” and “no social media posting.” Dudes really do be burning plugs and bragging on social media though. ...
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: Johnny Nunez / Getty Benny The Butcher emerged on the scene alongside the powerful Griselda conglomerate, pouring portions of that success into his own Black Soprano Family outfit. Today (March 11), the Buffalo, N.Y. lyricist released the highly anticipated Tana Talk 4, and the early reactions on Twitter point to the fact that The Butcher caught another one. Benny The Butcher began the Tana Talk series as a mixtape back in 2004 under the moniker B.E.N.N.Y., turning into an album series with 2018’s Tana Talk 3, one of Hip-Hop Wired’s best albums of that year. Counting as his third studio album, Tana Talk 4 finds Benny in sniper mode per usual with bone-chilling bars and descriptive street tales atop some of the hardest production available. Opening w...

HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Jake Amankwaah / Griselda The Butcher comin’! With word that his latest installment to Tana Talk around the corner in Tana Talk 4, Benny The Butcher is looking to turn up the heat in the kitchen with some new work to keep heads boppin’ and faces scrunching. To get that ball rolling Benny dropped his first single and visuals to the Alchemist produced “Johnny P’s Caddy” which features J. Cole alongside the Buffalo bomber. Right off top you know you was in for some bars when Benny started off his verse with “This ain’t my story ’bout rags to riches, more about how I mastered physics / In the game I used to train like Rocky, catchin’ chickens.” See what he did there? Naturally Cole brought the heat as well knowing he had to be on his A-game following Benny wi...
Back in June, SPIN published The 30 Best Albums of 2021 (So Far), rounding up everything from mainstream rock to experimental hip-hop. Six months later, we’re back with our year-end recap — and it’s interesting how, even though the stylistic balance has stayed consistent, the picks themselves haven’t. While this list also covers a lot of ground, only six of those earlier records wound up in our final tally. Below, you’ll find massive R&B collaborations (Silk Sonic), trendy pop breakouts (Olivia Rodrigo), big-ticket indie-rock (The War on Drugs), prog-metal giants (Mastodon), and acclaimed indie-rap (Benny the Butcher & Harry Fraud). Looking back at Pandemic Year Number Two, when the music industry forecast seemed to shift on a daily basis, perhaps these changes are only fittin...
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Paras Griffin / Getty Benny The Butcher is without question one of the best pure spitters in Hip-Hop today and must be protected at all costs. The Black Soprano Family honcho is currently getting his health in order after having to cancel a show performance in Detroit due to an issue not related to COVID-19 according to accounts. By way of an Instagram post shared to the Butcher’s account on Wednesday (October 27), the Buffalo, N.Y. star postponed his stop at the St. Andrew’s Hall venue in the Motor City and then shared a photo of him from a hospital bed hooked up to several devices. The harrowing image aside, it appears that Benny has been battling asthma issues for quite a while and he’s obviously on top of it as there’s an inhaler in the photo wi...
