Benny The Butcher
2nd August 2025

BeatDown brought BENNY the BUTCHER into the UK for the very first time in September to a sold out Electric in Brixton and now we bring him back for his 2nd UK show which will be at SWX in Bristol.

Benny the Butcher: the raw voice of Buffalo’s streets, carving his name into hip-hop with brutal honesty and lyrical prowess. A pivotal member of the Griselda collective, Benny’s gritty chronicles of survival and ambition reflect the bleak backdrop of his city. His relentless hustle is evident in albums like Tana Talk 3 and Burden of Proof, blending harrowing tales of hustling with sharp wordplay.

Benny defies industry norms, hitting his stride in his thirties with hard-hitting releases: Tana Talk 3 (2018), The Plugs I Met (2019), and the acclaimed Burden of Proof (2020), followed by The Plugs I Met 2 (2021). A collaboration with J. Cole preceded 2022’s Tana Talk 4. In 2024, Benny made a powerful statement with his first album for Def Jam, Everybody Can’t Go.

Benny is not just a rapper; he’s a storyteller and survivor, embodying the pain, perseverance, and triumph of a true butcher in the rap game.

Don’t miss this Bristol exclusive appearance at SWX—it’s not just a concert; it’s a testament to the grind and grit that define true hip-hop.
