The future has arrived for Benny The Butcher!
Griselda’s own Benny The Butcher released his new Tana Talk 3 project on 11-23-18, the album was produced entirely by Griselda mainstay Daringer and Alchemist and included appearances from his Griselda/Shady Records label-mates Westside Gunn and Conway and Royce Da 5’9” and Meyhem Lauren.
TT3 peaked at #4 on Apple’s Hip-Hop chart upon its release and was a mainstay on the charts for close to two months. Commercial success aside, the album also resulted in tremendous critical acclaim, as it was included in “Best of 2018” lists from Pitchfork, Complex & HipHopWired which crowned Tana Talk 3 as its favorite album of 2018 and a nod from Fuse TV as one of its “12 Artists To Watch” for 2019. For further proof Benny’s star is on the rise, he was one of a select few to be invited by J. Cole to participate in the recording sessions for Dreamville’s forthcoming Revenge Of The Dreamers III compilation.
Today, Benny returns with a new visual, “Rubber Bands & Weight,” from Tana Talk 3 which is produced by Alchemist and was exclusively premiered by Complex. “This record was inspired by how my neighborhood was like ‘The Carter’ from New Jack City” Benny commented to Complex. “The streets love this record and my building goes crazy every time I perform this joint! This record helped make Tana Talk 3 a classic; and nobody spitting like this but me!”
Later this evening (Thursday 1-24-19), Benny will be performing at S.O.B.’s, you can purchase tickets here. Doors open at 7pm!
Benny’s Tana Talk 3 is now available for purchase and streaming at all digital retailers.
