The Butcher is back—and he’s brought the heat with him. Benny The Butcher has officially dropped ‘Summertime Butch 2’, the highly anticipated follow-up to last summer’s street-certified project. Released on 716 Day—a nod to Buffalo’s area code and a celebration of his roots—this latest body of work proves once again that Benny’s pen is seasonal, but the bars are eternal.
With the same gritty precision fans have come to expect, Summertime Butch 2 finds Benny back in rare form, delivering effortless street wisdom and heavyweight collaborations. The album features Westside Gunn, Bun B, G Herbo, Bruiser Wolf, OT The Real, and ElCamino, with production credits from legends like Mike Will Made It, Daringer, and Bink. Whether it’s the polished aggression or the soulful loops, this project feels like a warm weather warning shot from a cold-hearted lyricist.
Just months after Excelsior, Benny is clearly in an elite zone. And to mark the moment, he also blessed fans with the “East Side Butch” (Freestyle) video—a visual that finds Benny at his most unapologetic, spitting raw truth from the pavement that made him. Watch it now and try not to run it back.
From Grammy nods to Emmy wins, Benny The Butcher has solidified himself as a generational voice in hip-hop. But with Summertime Butch 2, it’s clear—he’s not done yet. The Butcher coming!
