Benny The Butcher Says He Doesn't Want To Stay Underground

by Daryl Nelson

As he displayed with his critically acclaimed album Burden of Proof and his mixtapes The Plugs I Met, Benny The Butcher makes no no-nonsense, no-frills rap music that caters to those who like lyrical, boom-bap.

But the Buffalo rhymer doesn't want to stay in that underground lane, which he communicated on Twitter Tuesday, September 21.

Could’ve been the king of this underground boom bap shit but I ion want it…Respectfully TT4

"Could’ve been the king of this underground boom bap sh*t but I ion want it…Respectfully TT4,"typed Benny.

Do you think this means Benny will start making glossier, commercial-sounding music from now on?
