Benny The Butcher’s new album is about to make the summer unbearably hot.
Benny The Butcher just unleashed a brand new single and video titled “Summer 25,” signaling his return to full summertime dominance. Alongside the track’s release, Benny announced his upcoming project, Summertime Butch 2, which is set to drop on July 16, 2025—a symbolic date known as “716 Day” in his hometown of Buffalo, NY.
Driven by a cinematic, violin-laced instrumental, “Summer 25” showcases Benny’s signature blend of gritty realism and lyrical mastery. On the track, he delivers pointed bars about the current state of hip-hop, references the Oklahoma City Thunder’s recent NBA championship, and reflects on his persistent ties to the street hustle. His tone is unbothered, steady, and unapologetic—Benny raps like he never left.
In the accompanying video, the Butcher takes viewers on a ride through Buffalo’s neighborhoods, reconnecting with his roots while flashing the same street energy that built his fanbase.
“Summer 25” sets the stage for Summertime Butch 2, a follow-up that promises high-level storytelling, elite production, and a heavy dose of unfiltered street commentary. With Benny’s rise from underground stalwart to mainstream name, this new release could mark another pivotal moment in his already storied career.
Put your PTO requests in now: Summertime Butch 2 drops on July 16, 2025.
