Benny The Butcher & 38 Spesh Relive Their Pasts In “High Stakes”

Rating: 4 out of 5.

Benny The Butcher and 38 Spesh are prepping to release “STABBED & SHOT 2.”

You know what they say, right? There’s nothing like gangsta hip-hop music in the fall. Actually, I’m not sure if that’s something people say, but that’s how I feel. With the weather getting cooler and the leaves falling down, I usually don’t mind hearing certified gangsta rappers drop bars meant to shake things up. That said, Benny The Butcher and 38 Spesh, two certified gangsta rappers, are prepping to release a new joint album called STABBED & SHOT 2. Based off the project’s wild-ass title, I can tell it’s about to have some hard-hitting music. The latest single from the project, “High Stakes,” arrived on streaming services today.

In “High Stakes,” Benny The Butcher and 38 Spesh reflect on their past lives dealing drugs. Throughout the track, they use familiar slang such as “grams,” “yay,” and “bricks,” while illustrating how they navigated dealings with suppliers (“plugs”) and customers. Backed by production that exudes a cold vibe, 38 Spesh delivers his bars with an intense, gritty edge, emphasizing the raw nature of his experiences. Benny The Butcher, on the other hand, brings pure confidence to the track, spitting his verses with the seasoned precision of a veteran who’s mastered the game. Both kill s**t.
