Benny The Butcher Explains The Meaning Of “Burden Of Proof”
Though Benny The Butcher is on the verge of delivering his first proper debut album in Burden Of Proof, the Griselda lyricist has been steadily putting in work for years now. Even without factoring in his upcoming Hit-Boy produced project (which drops this Friday, should you be interested in checking that out), Benny has easily established himself as one of the game’s deadliest spitters — a quality that has not gone unnoticed by his hip-hop peers.

With his recent Lil Wayne & Big Sean-assisted “Timeless” single remaining in steady rotation, Benny has taken a moment to preview a few new instrumentals set to appear on Burden Of Proof. “Every time I drop its special let’s take a victory lap for the underdogs who risked everything and won big,” he captions, sharing a teaser scored by a guitar-driven beat. “Burden of proof is typically required of the person making the claim,” he explains. “And in most cases, the person making the claim must demonstrate that the claim is valid, and carries the Burden of Proof.”
In the second clip, Benny makes it clear that he’s already achieved legend status off the strength of his four-year run. “It’s a four-year run that people have been hearing me in this capacity,” he reflects, as another new Hit-Boy beat builds. “Not a bad verse, never a bad verse.” Check out the two teasers below, and sound off — are you excited for Benny’s new album to arrive this Friday, October 16th?

Kieran James Honors Memory with “Part of the Grind”
Singer-songwriter Kieran James delivers a devastating new single with “Part of the Grind,” a track to tackle the tangled emotions behind loss and memory. A love letter penned to a close friend who faced severe cognitive decline, the song’s emotional heft feels universal yet heartbreakingly personal.
Set to delicate instrumentation and achingly sung vocals, “Part of the Grind” is both a lament and an honoring, a means of remembering while addressing the unavoidable cost of time and illness. His voice floats, leaving room for silence and the long pauses that so often come with grief. But in that silence, there is warmth as well, a refusal to let memory be totally extinguished.
Resilience is also implied in the song’s title, a reminder that even in heartbreak, life goes on and holding the memory of someone stays with the rhythm of everyday living. it’s an anthem for anyone who has ever looked on witnessing decline, mixed sorrow with love.
In Kieran James’s “Part of the Grind,” we hear music as well as go behind it. He gives us room feel, to mourn, and to honor. In the process, he turns private pain into something achingly universal, a song for everyone who has either loved or lost.
