Benny The Butcher Drops "Tana Talk 4"

Mar 17, 2022 0 comments


(StereoGum) Benny The Butcher made the Billboard Hot 100. Last month, after Benny released “Johnny P’s Caddy,” the first song from his new album Tana Talk 4, that song briefly cracked the American pop chart. This definitely wouldn’t have happened if J. Cole, one of the biggest rappers in the world, hadn’t rapped on the song. And even with Cole, it’s not like “Johnny P’s Caddy” ranks as an all-time crossover smash. The song notched one week on the Hot 100 and peaked at #72. Still, for a rapper as resolutely committed to the sounds and virtues of a previous age — one who’s historically been indifferent to things like putting choruses on his songs — that’s some kind of triumph. After slowly bubbling up from the underground for years upon years, Benny The Butcher has something resembling a pop hit, and he achieved that without changing a single fucking thing. That’s inspiring.
