That is the eighth EP from Buffalo, New York emcee Benny the Butcher. Being within the recreation 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 tasks 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 to this point 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 transient 3 monitor providing hopping over an extravagant beat evaluating themselves to Orlando Magic veterans Penny Hardaway & Shaquille O’Neal whereas the For All of the Canines 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 while you earn it being iller than the sicknesses haters be hoping on them. Lastly, the nearer “Exhausting Approach” that includes Fabolous formally rounds out Buffalo Butch on some increase bap shit letting it’s identified this fly shit ain’t low-cost in any way.
We’ve solely gotten 2 EPs from Benny this month & 3 tasks from him in 2024 altogether in the event you embody Everyone Can’t Go, however I nonetheless occur to want 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.
