Benny The Butcher Announces Hit-Boy Collab Album “Everybody Can’t Go”
Benny the Butcher and Hit-Boy just announced their upcoming collab album, Everybody Can’t Go. Right after the 2023 Grammys, the two hip-hop creatives reminded rap listeners that, while there’s much to celebrate, there’s even more greatness coming. Moreover, both artists posted videos of a meet-up on social media, in which Benny freestyles over a beat. On Instagram, both shared their excitement for their work together. “In the gym rn,” the legendary producer posted on Instagram. Whereas he kept it short and sweet, the Griselda rapper was a bit more boastful. “It’s almost my turn again…,” he wrote. “Me and @hitboy undefeated !!!”
From Benny’s cold raps and Hit-Boy’s booming beat, this newly announced album should be a treat to witness. “Work I’m cuttin’ more times than Kyrie been traded,” Benny rapped. In fact, that’s a timely shot towards Kyrie Irving, who just traded to the Dallas Mavericks. “I was one foot in the door after that freestyle with Flex. I was one foot in the game at Jay-Z’s house with West. Now you see how I clean house and see wild success.” Although he cut it off towards the end, the Buffalo MC ate up that instrumental with his bars.
Last time that Benny and Hit-Boy linked long-term was for Benny’s 2020 album Burden of Proof, which Hit-Boy entirely produced. On his announcement post, the Buffalo native penned an anticipatory message along with a picture of him at the Grammys. “Sometimes the experience of the journey is a better feeling than reaching the destination,” he expressed. “You won’t ever kno unless u make it there…but remember ‘EVERYBODY CAN’T GO’ The Album produced by @hitboy…Loading”
Meanwhile, both artists teased fans with this collab after an incredibly successful year for them. For example, Hit-Boy contributed to some of the year’s best hip-hop albums. In fact, he capped off the year with a contender for the best in Nas’s King’s Disease III, continuing their high-quality series. On his end, Benny the Butcher released Tana Talk 4, which for many fans was his most consistent and engaging album to date. However you may feel, come back to HNHH for the latest on Benny the Butcher and Hit-Boy.

Freddie Gibbs Has No Interest In Ending Benny The Butcher Beef: “Those Guys Are Like Comedy”
Freddie Gibbs made it clear that he has little interest in making amends with Benny The Butcher.
The two artists developed strong chemistry on wax together with songs like, “Frank Lucas” and “One Way Flight,” but things took a turn in the past few years. Gibbs took a few shots at Benny, who later returned fire before a melee broke out at a BBQ spot in Buffalo.
The two continued to go back and forth on social media following the incident in Buffalo last spring. Unfortunately, it seems as though Freddie Gibbs is willing to take this beef with him to the grave. During a recent interview with XXL, he revealed that he “couldn’t care less” about solving their issues.
“Probably not,” he said after he was asked about the possibility of them making up.
“Just because I feel like I’m not on the level of that ghetto rap beef shit. I don’t care enough to solve a beef with a rapper,” he said. “I don’t care about the rap game and what they think about me. I’ll let them care about that.”
With a budding film career on the horizon, the Gary, IN rapper explained that he’s not focused on beefing with other artists.
“I’m so far removed from that bullshit in the streets,” he said. “I’m about to be an esteemed actor and a mogul… To me, those guys are like comedy. I make jokes of these guys like that. And that’s why guys like that want to fight because they a joke to me. I don’t even take guys like that serious.”
He added, “So, I don’t care to squash no beef with nobody. You could hate me forever, and that’s fine with me because you insignificant. In general, with anybody. I mean that for any rapper.”
In another part of the interview, Gibbs stated that he’s working on four new projects, though he didn’t reveal when they would drop. In 2022, he released his major label debut, $oul $old $eparately.
Westside Gunn And Benny The Butcher Call Out B.Dot For Being Left Off Of Best Rappers Of 2022 List
As always, Brian “B.Dot” Miller was once again able to ruffle the feathers of members of the hip-hop community with his Best Rappers of 2022 list. The list included Pusha T, Gucci Mane, and J.Cole taking the top 3 spots, and Kendrick Lamar, JID, 21 Savage, Kodak Black, Drake, Ransom, and Lil Wayne occupying the rest of the spots. B.Dot says that the list is based on skill, performance, and presence.
However, the list caught the attention of Griselda Records front-men, Westside Gunn and Benny The Butcher, who were not happy about their exclusion from the list despite having dropped projects this year.
Westside Gunn and a few other members of Griselda, including Stove God Cooks and Rome Streetz had sat down with B.Dot and Elliot Wilson for an episode of Rap Radar prior to the list coming out. However, after the list came out, Westside Gunn came out and called the interview a waste of time.
“This was a great interview but that was some weeks ago, now it’s F*CK @bdotTM bc he just don’t get it & I wasted 2hrs of my time[.]” Westside Gunn wrote. “its @GriseldaRecords ALL YEAR[.] S/O to my guy @ElliottWilson he still good he rode thru the hood w/me in the Bach.”
Benny The Butcher was also critical of being left off the list. A Twitter user asked the Tana Talk 4 artist if he thought the whole Griselda roster being left off the list was because of a bar Conway The Machine rapped about B.Dot. The user said that it’s corny if that’s the reason they were left off. Benny then confirmed that it was due to the bar and he had a run-in with one of B.Dot’s “rap friends.”
“Def tht and I had a brush in with 1 of his rap friends lol,” Benny responded.
In another response to a fan on Twitter, Benny said that B.Dot has to be eating crack to not add him or anybody from the Griselda roster to the list. “F*ck smokin crack he gotta be Eatin it,” he said.

Westside Gunn & Benny The Butcher Throw Shots At B.Dot After Exclusion From Best Rappers Of 2022 List
Now that 2022 has officially come to a close, many have finalized their lists containing their favorite things of the year. Most popularly in the music industry, fans and media figures alike tend to share their lists of their favorite songs, albums and artists over the past 365 days.
Of course, hip-hop is one of, if not the most competitive genre. Everyone’s year-end lists surrounding rappers and hip-hop albums usually stir up some heated discussion online.
2022 is no different. One media figure who has become notorious for sharing his year-end lists is hip-hop journalist, B.Dot Miller. On December 23, the Rap Radar co-host took to his Twitter account to share his list of the best rappers of the year.
As per usual, he bases his list on skill, performance and presence. For 2022, he has Pusha T, Gucci Mane and J. Cole as the top three, in that order. Kendrick follows in the fourth spot, JID is fifth, then 21 Savage at sixth. The seventh to tenth spots belong to Kodak Black, Drake, Ransom and Lil Wayne, in that order.
The Griselda camp had an incredibly busy year yet again, collectively dropping several projects. Regardless, none of them are present on B.Dot’s list. Westside Gunn evidently isn’t happy about it.
He and some of the other Griselda crew members, including Stove God Cooks and Rome Streetz, recently sat down for an interview with B.Dot and Elliott Wilson for an episode of their Rap Radar podcast. However, this was clearly before Miller released his list.
“This was a great interview but that was some weeks ago, now it’s F*CK @bdotTM bc he just don’t get it & I wasted 2hrs of my time[.] its @GriseldaRecords ALL YEAR[.] S/O to my guy @ElliottWilson he still good he rode thru the hood w/me in the Bach,” writes the “327” rapper.
“This THURSDAY let’s start my Finale yr with a @RapRadar interview with @ElliottWilson and a few good men @BoldyJames @Stovegodcooks & @Rome_Streetz the ALMIGHTY GXFR @GriseldaRecords,” the Buffalo native writes in another tweet afterwards. In the promo picture of the group, Gunn scratches out B.Dot’s face and writes “Chump” above him.
Furthermore, Benny The Butcher is also taking exception to being left off the list. A fan replied to the Rap Radar co-host’s list asking Benny if they were left off because of a bar from Conway the Machine that mentioned B.Dot. “If so, that’s mad corny. I thought it was harmless,” the fan writes.
The bar in question is seemingly from Benny and Conway’s collaborative track from earlier this year, “Tyson vs. Ali.” The 40-year-old raps, “Tell B.Dot I said, f his list.”
The “Johnny P’s Caddy” rapper replies, insisting that this is the case. “Def tht and I had a brush in with 2 of his rap friends lol,” he says.
Additionally, Benny replied to another comment about the group’s absence when the list was originally posted in December. “F*ck smokin crack he gotta be Eatin it,” he says.
The full Griselda interview with Rap Radar is set to release this Thursday (January 5).
