Benny The Butcher says that he’s moving away from boom baps beats with his upcoming album, Everybody Can’t Go. He explained the direction of his new music during a series of posts on Twitter, Sunday. Many of Benny’s fans weren’t happy with the news.
“NO…my album won’t be loaded up with boom bap beats… I did that already… the sound watered down too much y’all can have that shit,” he wrote in one post. He added: “I’m talkin all this shit but the beats that are boom bap are OD boom bap. I did everything on this album.” Fans quickly became worried about what to expect from the highly-anticipated project.
