Benny The Butcher Drops Album Closer “Legend”
It’s easy to feel like Benny The Butcher has something to prove, as evidenced by his upcoming album Burden Of Proof, which arrives in full tomorrow. Yet those who have been keeping track of the Griselda run for the past few years can attest to one simple truth — Benny The Butcher is easily one of the best lyricists in the game right now, and that’s hard to dispute. Perhaps that’s why he’s opted to close out his album with “Legend,” produced by Hit-Boy, a statement unto itself.
Off the bat, it’s clear that Benny intends on letting his bars make a statement. “Gave my life to the game, had my mama concerned, it made her calm when she saw what I got in return,” he begins, over Hit-Boy’s soulful, minimalist production. “Broke my flow down, they still can’t describe it in words / And all the work they say they put in, I gotta confirm.” And in what might be the most surprising turn, Benny actually drops four verses on this one — truly shocking, considering that two-verse songs have become the new normal.
It’s one of the many reasons Benny is so important to the game right now; not only does he preserve the glory days of the culture, but he does so while putting his own, decidedly modern take on that golden era classic sound. Look for Burden Of Proof to hit streaming services at midnight, and be sure to support The Butcher accordingly.
QUOTABLE LYRICS
Yo, fifty thousand in the drawer, at the W with some bitches
And every time I score, it’s a W for the villains
I’m somewhere in the hood, elbow rubbin’ with all the dealers
Sayin’, “Because of you, we ain’t been this comfortable in a minute’

Kyle Ashen’s sun-drenched recollection with new release “That Local Girl”
Kyle Ashen’s latest release, “That Local Girl,” is a gorgeous trip down memory lane, a country single that explores that golden glow of memory, like flipping through old photographs touched by salt air and summer sunlight. It’s warm, cinematic, and deeply relatable, a song about the kind of love story that never quite goes away, even as time moves on.
“That Local Girl” is filled with imagery that quickly takes the listener into a world they can walk right into. You got a blonde-haired, blue-eyed girl on a boardwalk street by the ocean, a souped-up truck driving through town, neon lights reflecting off the ocean breeze, and the electric innocence of young love burning in the background.
But under all that cutesy trapping is something more than that, longing. Some people, some places that leave permanent marks on Kyle Ashen and us know that. What’s so brilliant about this song is that it marries those two ideas, making love and hometown memory feel beautifully inseparable. Sometimes you miss a person. And with that person, you miss an entire version of life. “That Local Girl” is more than a country love song from Kyle Ashen. He is a living postcard from the past, sun-faded, bittersweet, and glowing with feeling. A reminder that summers pass by, but some memories stay with us forever.
