Benny The Butcher and 38 Spesh have another joint album on the way – and it will apparently be here soon.
Spesh visited DJ Superstar Jay’s Shade 45 show on Saturday (February 24), where he was asked about a new project with fellow Buffalo, New York native Benny, since the pair have worked together often in the past.

“Definitely,” he quickly replied. “And sooner than y’all think… Like real soon, yo. I’m telling you that.”
The topic comes up around the 27:30 mark below.
During an interview with Bootleg Kev last year, 38 Spesh spoke highly of Benny The Butcher as he teased the follow-up to their 2018 joint effort Stabbed & Shot.
“It’s surprising to hear the hunger that we still got,” Spesh said. “It’s like, wow, we still sound this good together, and we still bring the best out of each other.”

Having even more recently put out a project with Benny’s Griselda cohort Conway The Machine, 38 Spesh revealed the work ethic between both men is pretty much the same. The only difference was that Spesh spent more time recording with Benny than Conway. But regardless, the work gets done whenever he links up with either of them.
“Me and Ben, you know, we was recording for a longer period of time. We’ve been doing this shit together for a long time, since like ’07-’08, we got a lot more chemistry,” he said. “Me and Conway, we ain’t record as much, but we still got history and shit, but you know, the recording process is still really like the same though. We still go in there and give it our best. It’s a very competitive situation.”
In total, 38 Spesh has done three collaborative projects with Benny The Butcher: Cocaine Cowboys, Stabbed & Shot and Trust the Sopranos.
38 Spesh is fresh off the release of Beyond Belief, a joint effort with Harry Fraud that dropped in 2022.

He followed that up with Greenthumbs Meets Trigger Fingers with Vic Spencer, which dropped in 2023.
