1 On a 1 (CD Album) – Benny the Butcher

Benny The Butcher has made a name for himself along with the rest of his acclaimed Griselda crew for bringing a sense of danger back to underground hip-hop. Alongside classic boom-bap production, Benny is a consummate practitioner of truly gritty and grimey street rap, coming from places of drug wars, shoot-em-ups, and urban hell. Although,’1 on a 1′, originally released in 2016, recasts his usual threads of city bleakness against comparatively contemporary trap beats. It’s a well that Benny wouldn’t return to, and stands out as a remarkably solid oddity in the Butcher’s catalogue.
