Posted by Benny The Butcher recently stopped by Power 105.1 to spit a freestyle over Beanie Sigel’s classic “Get Down” from his 2001 album, The Reason. Live on DJ Clue’s radio show, the Griselda rapper took on the Just Blaze instrumental for around two minutes.
“I’m a real life villain without a script, got me feeling like I’m the shit,” Benny raps. “As far as rap go, I made millions without no hits/If she for the streets, I’m not in my feelings about no bitch/Talking foundations, how you gon’ build one without no bricks?/I went harder as soon as they told me it can’t happen/Griselda set the bar as high as buildings in Manhattan.”
Benny posted the clip on Instagram, with the likes of Royce Da 5’9 and Freeway among those flooding the comments with fire emojis.
