Benny The Butcher says that his “Johnny P’s Caddy” collaborator, J. Cole, is the best rapper alive. He made the case for the Dreamville artist during an interview with HipHopDX. Additionally, he reflected on attending a writing camp with the Dreamville roster.
“I’ma have to say Cole [is the best rapper alive],” he said. “Like right now, fresh in my memory right now. It gotta be that kid there, man. It’s a different aura with him, right? He always been a contender but I feel like he’s coming into his own right and standing over it. You know how [Lil] Wayne said he’s claiming it? I kinda feel like he’s claiming it right now. And he’s done enough where he could claim it.”
