That is the eighth EP from Buffalo, New York emcee Benny the Butcher. Being within the sport for two a long time already, it wouldn’t be till 2016 the place he alongside his cousins Westside Gunn & Conway the Machine would take the tradition by storm off initiatives like Tana Discuss 3 & The Plugs I Met. Harry Fraud got here in for a sequel to the latter following the mature Burden of Proof & lastly, Tana Discuss 4 took it again to the basement a pair years again. Coming off having Hit-Boy produce half of it & leaving the opposite half to The Alchemist produce his Def Jam Recordings debut & my album of the 12 months thus far Everyone Can’t Go, we’re now being handled to Buffalo Butch solely a pair weeks after the earlier EP Summertime Butch.

“Penny & Shaq” that includes 38 Spesh begins off the temporary 3 observe providing hopping over an extravagant beat evaluating themselves to Orlando Magic veterans Penny Hardaway & Shaquille O’Neal whereas the For All of the Canine outtake “Buffalo” that includes Drake finds the pair linking up over a sample-driven instrumental from Boi-1da speaking about the truth that it’s extra whenever you earn it being iller than the sicknesses haters be hoping on them. Lastly, the nearer “Onerous Means” that includes Fabolous formally rounds out Buffalo Butch on some growth bap shit letting or not it’s identified this fly shit ain’t low-cost by any means.

We’ve solely gotten 2 EPs from Benny this month & 3 initiatives from him in 2024 altogether for those who embrace Everyone Can’t Go, however I nonetheless occur to choose Summertime Butch solely as a result of it’s somewhat longer than Buffalo Butch though that’s to not say I didn’t benefit from the 3 songs he dug up for us right here. Versus the summer time theme of the joint from 2 weeks in the past, you solely get 8 minutes value of fabric shedding 16 minutes off the final one centering itself round Benny’s hometown mentality.
