Benny The Butcher has teased his major collaboration with Drake on numerous occasions since 2019, even detailing how it could have fit the 6 God’s Billboard chart topping album Certified Lover Boy.
The Griselda rapper couldn’t keep fans at bay from hearing a snippet of the leak as it made its way on the Internet. Over a low-fi sample and hard-hitting drums, Drake bats lead-off, living up to Benny’s previous tease he was “talking his shit.”
“Drake you joshing around but life wasn’t Nickelodeon or Disney, is you kidding me?/My résumé is thicker than Nicki, I’m busy busy/I remember doing halftime in Jackson, Mississippi/Wasn’t driving Cadillac then but shit still found a way to escalate quickly/Wanted people to miss me, changed shit after Nipsey,” Drizzy raps on the track.
Benny backdoors with an optimistic verse rapping, “I touched a little bit of this paper, I’m still yearning/Drove the work 300 times at least, I’m still nervous/Here to speak for the hopefuls, keepin’ it soulful/Fallin’ face down at the bar, having drinks at Komodo/Hoping these meetings on rooftops never turn to jail visits/It only put a smile on my face when the scale tippin’.”

Since January, Benny has been answering questions about the long-rumored collaboration, citing he wanted the right time in order to drop it and in a recent interview with Wayno for his Connected series, explained how he wanted everything to align with Drake’s time as well.
“Drake is Drake. He’s the biggest artist in the world, so ain’t no tellin’ where that song gon’ land,” Benny said at the 53-minute mark. “We got the song, I played it for all the homies. It’s a vibe and he gotta place that where he sees fit to it. I feel like it definitely would have fit in and definitely would have mixed things up, but I also see why he didn’t put it on [Certified Lover Boy].”
“ My resume is thicker than nicki” God dam why is this song not on an album? This sounds better than most of tracks on certified lover boy. Bennys bars are on point as well and how dare this feel like a throw away.
drake is fuckin awful, but I guess Benny needs the money
Ok ill let u tell it !!!
No type of dignity Drake is one of worse ever I’ll never understand how people listen to him
I love the way they call it a “leak” when chances are only 3 or 4 people have the track. Obviously it wasnt Benny. And im sure the vuy who mastered it wants to keep his job so count him out. Maybe the guy who made the beat ? Although no guarantee he has access to the vocals. That leaves Drake. So go figure…
Or the countless other people that Benny gave the somg too. He get along with a lot of NY rappers. Any one of them couldve asked and leaked it. Or anyone close to them.
Actually Benny specifically said in a Interview that he only played it for his homies and family he absolutely 100% would not leak it if he was asked not to. I know benny from b4 the fame, hes a real genuine human being
Oh boy, let’s see how the “real hip hop” heads react to this.
Why Benny why?
Exactly makes me sick to my stomach sad when a real rapper messes with a commerical wack rapper
Drakes raps like y’all want me to rap, but I won’t, but if I want to, I could. But I will never fully so leave me alone ??
Benny the only decent n!&&@ on griselsa. I said decent, not great. I don’t even understand how griselda blew up, there’s a million n!&&@z in NY doing the same washed up coke raps. That corny @$$ dude’s voice sound like Rah Digga, except Rah spits way harder. I only see hipsters hyping them n!&&@z up lol
Your joking right !! U can’t be from the 90s era 38$pesh ? too !!
Um, he mentioned Rah Digga. Of course he’s from the 90s era.
this song better be good weve only been waiting two years
Shoe gang would wash these guys. And that’s ? facts. They still nice but they ain’t got shit on shoe gang. If u don’t know then u better go listen or ask somebody. And really, Drake? Who wrote his lyrics this time? Lol hip hop ain’t what it used to be. This younger generation needs to wake up
