Benny the Butcher

Jeremie Damon Pennick, known professionally as Benny the Butcher, or simply Benny, is an American rapper and songwriter. He came to prominence in 2018 following the release of his debut album, Tana Talk 3.

Tana Talk 3's 2018 arrival announced Benny the Butcher as something hip-hop desperately needed: a street rapper with actual bars and a catalog that proved longevity. Griselda Records became his proper home, turning albums like Burden of Proof into stripped-down masterclasses in narrative economy—Benny raps like someone who's lived the stories he tells, never wasting a syllable on filler. His partnership with The Alchemist on tracks like "God Body Diabolica" showed how his Buffalo rawness could translate across producers, while subsequent projects like Tana Talk 4 cemented him as Griselda's connective tissue to traditional East Coast rap values.
