In an unexpected turn of events, Benny The Butcher is set to make waves with his new album, Excelsior, dropping this Friday. The Buffalo lyricist, known for his gritty storytelling and unyielding confidence, promises to remind fans why he stands at the top of his game with this highly anticipated release.
In an announcement made via Instagram, Benny reflected on his journey, stating, “Some of us jumped off the porch early and understood the game instantly. Some of us took a lil time… But some needed their hand held in every aspect.” This introspective message sets the tone for Excelsior, which will feature seven tracks packed with hard-hitting beats and powerful collaborations.
Fans have been eagerly awaiting a standout project since Benny’s last acclaimed LP, Tana Talk 4, and Excelsior aims to quench that thirst. The Griselda veteran’s first release of 2025 is bound to showcase his lyrical prowess, with contributions from notable producers like Daringer, Harry Fraud, and Moose Tarantino, ensuring a rich soundscape.
The album will also see appearances from an impressive lineup of guest artists, including Boldy James, Styles P, and Fuego Base, further elevating the project’s appeal. As anticipation builds, fellow artists such as Russ and Harry Fraud have expressed their excitement, with Fraud teasing the release with a simple yet effective sword emoji.
With Excelsior, Benny The Butcher has the opportunity to silence doubters and reaffirm his place in the rap game. Mark your calendars for May 2 because this is one album you won’t want to miss!
