It’s been proven that Griselda is the label that never sleeps. After putting out consequent projects over the last year, fans are impatiently waiting for the rumored Benny the Butcher x Drake collaboration.
Both rappers have been teasing this match-up since 2019. In 2021, fans are still wondering if the Drake vocals are in yet.
Previously, Benny said they both completed verses for each other’s projects. On a recent visit to the Big Facts Podcast, Benny explains the delay and offers a sneak peek into what to expect. He confirmed that the song is complete, yet delayed because of timing.
“It’s a build-up thing. You can’t just throw a record like that out” said Benny.
Benny’s most recent projects have each been composed by one producer. The album ‘Burden of Proof’ was produced by Hit-Boy, and his forthcoming project ‘Plugs I Met II’ was produced by Harry Fraud. Because the Drake song wasn’t produced by either, it just wasn’t the right time to release it.
When asked if this was a “bars” record, Benny said; “Drake was talking his sh*t like he does.”
I’m curious about if we’ll get a more subdued Benny on the song or a more rugged Drake delivery. Either way, the fans say, take your time, but hurry up!
