Benny The Butcher – “Summer ’25” [VIDEO]

Benny The Butcher releases visuals for “Summer ’25”

Benny The Butcher holds a distinct place in modern hip-hop. He’s consistent, grounded, and always on beat. He brings the kind of lyrical authenticity that resonates with hip-hop purists and new listeners alike. Rain, sleet, hail, or snow—he’s always working. But when summer hits, Benny transforms.

In 2024, his Summertime Butch EP served as a sonic celebration of hot weather, street hustle, and personal evolution. Listeners got something more than a seasonal drop. They got a soundtrack for the city—one made for riding through neighborhoods, cookouts in the park, and reflection after the sun sets.

Now, in July 2025, Benny is returning with Summertime Butch 2, promising more stories, more energy, and more of that timeless Butch flow.

From Everybody Can’t Go to Summertime Butch

Before Summertime Butch ever hit streaming platforms, Benny made major waves with his Def Jam debut, Everybody Can’t Go. That project was not only Grammy-nominated—it positioned Benny as one of hip-hop’s most grounded voices. His storytelling was vivid. His bars were precise. And most importantly, he didn’t compromise.

That album bridged Benny’s underground roots with mainstream reach. But as always, he stayed close to his lane, never chasing trends. The fans rewarded him with loyalty and praise.

Still, there was something missing: a summer body of work. A seasonal drop to match the warm months and free-flowing energy. Enter Summertime Butch in August 2024.

Why Summertime Butch Connected So Deeply

Summertime Butch wasn’t just another EP. It felt curated. Here’s why it resonated:

1. Benny’s Flow Was In Peak Form
   He glided over beats with effortless confidence. The cadence was smooth, the delivery sharp.
2. The Production Was Built for Summer
   The beats had bounce but carried depth. It wasn’t party music—it was street music made for sunshine.
3. Lyrics That Felt Personal
   Benny’s pen never wavers. On Summertime Butch, he balanced braggadocio with honesty.
4. Replay Value
   Tracks were short, digestible, and addictive—perfect for streaming culture and social media edits.
5. Organic Fan Engagement
   The EP spread naturally. Fans shared clips, built playlists, and started conversations.

That drop became a moment. So naturally, fans wanted more.

Excelsior Keeps the Fire Burning

In May 2025, Benny was back outside with Excelsior. The project featured some of the sharpest voices in the game: Boldy James, Styles P, Daringer, Harry Fraud, and the BSF family. This project wasn’t made to be a “hit”—it was made to remind people who Benny is. Raw beats. Real bars. Zero filler.

It served as a necessary bridge between Summertime Butch and what’s coming next. And what’s coming next… is big.

New Single & Video: “Summer 25” Is Here

The first taste of Summertime Butch 2 is already live: the single and video “Summer 25.”

The beat? Clean, cool, and perfectly warm.
The lyrics? Vintage Benny—sharp, unfiltered, and hyper-real.
The video? Set in familiar Buffalo settings, with that gritty, high-definition look fans love.

The drop feels like a statement. Benny isn’t here to replicate last summer. He’s here to elevate it.

Summertime Butch 2 Drops 7.16.25 — A Date That Matters

If you know Benny, you know Buffalo. And if you know Buffalo, you know “716 Day.” That’s the city’s area code—celebrated every July 16 as a moment of local pride and community.

So it’s no coincidence that Benny is releasing Summertime Butch 2 on 7.16.25. It’s a salute to his roots. A celebration of his journey. And a signal to the industry that real music still lives in real cities.

What Can Fans Expect from the New EP?

It’s less about features, though, and more about feel. This project isn’t just for streaming numbers—it’s for people who live through the seasons with soundtracks in their ears.

For Brands, Blogs & DJs: Here’s How to Ride the Wave

This release offers opportunities for creators, curators, and media outlets alike:

• Music Blogs: Break down the Buffalo references and lyrical Easter eggs.
• Local Press: Tie coverage to 716 Day celebrations.
• Marketing Teams: Use the EP to create user-generated content contests.
• DJs & Playlist Curators: Add tracks to summer sets or hip-hop digest playlists.
• YouTube & TikTok Creators: Build reaction videos and street interview segments.

Authenticity sells in 2025. Benny is a blueprint.

Why Summer Releases Matter

Summer has always been a major season for hip-hop releases. It’s about timing. Attention spans are shorter, outdoor events are bigger, and listeners are more open to discovering new sounds.

Artists like Benny understand this. That’s why a tight, summer-specific EP works so well. The songs don’t need to dominate radio—they need to dominate vibe. And that’s exactly what Summertime Butch 2 is built to do.

Ways to Engage Before the Full Drop

1. Stream “Summer 25” on all platforms.
2. Watch the video on YouTube and drop your favorite bar in the comments.
3. Follow Benny on social media for behind-the-scenes content.
4. Pre-save Summertime Butch 2 for day-one listening.
5. Host local listening parties—virtual or in-person.

Whether you’re in Buffalo or beyond, you can make 7.16.25 a moment.

Benny’s Cultural Footprint Keeps Growing

From his work with Griselda to his solo journey, Benny represents a rare consistency. He hasn’t wavered in style or message. He still reps where he’s from. He still sharpens his craft. And with every release, he builds something more timeless.

Summertime Butch 2 won’t just be a playlist favorite—it’s another entry in a legacy. One where the artist controls the narrative, the music, and the moment.
