Benny The Butcher seemed pretty excited about Drake giving Griselda props late last year. He recently talked about another rapper that liked his music and seemed equally happy about it. 

Benny sat down with T.I. on his ExpediTiously podcast and revealed who that rapper was. Conway was with him, and he too talked about impressing someone he's always admired. He did it at around the 5:43 mark.

"[Raekwon's] like a Jordan poster n***a for me," Conway explained. "Any of the Clan. Any of the OGs who laid the cement down. That's the sh*t that mean the most to me. I appreciate the support from the fans and the people, but I'm really trying to impress the n***as I grew up inspired by. I want n***as like that saying you killed that sh*t. I can really believe it cause I know this is a master craftsman himself telling me that, so I know it ain't no cap. It mean a lot when a n***a like Raekwon throw his arm around the homies and hold us down. That's next level to me."

Benny said the person who gave him props was Nas.

"It's crazy, I just met that n***a the other day," he stated. "Kicked it with him. I was kicking it with Swizz and was like 'Introduce me to Esco.' He talked about how he f*cked with the music. He came and did a show and shouted us out on stage ... was just telling us he aware, he f*ck with what we do, it's a breath of fresh air, he'd love to work. I just let him know how he inspired me. It's crazy to meet that n***a."

Do you think the Griselda camp will be the next legendary New York rappers when all is said and done?
