During his press run to promote the project, Benny spoke to Ebro Darden for Apple Music’s Rap Life program. The Roc Nation affiliate broke down working with Hit-Boy who produced the entire Burden of Proof LP.
The Rap Life conversation included Benny discussing other tracks that are in the vault. He confirmed the Harry Fraud-produced The Plugs I Met 2 is scheduled to come out in January. The Butcher also has unreleased cuts with Hip Hop heavyweights Nas and Drake.
“Me and Nas got a record, but we chose not to put it on his album or my album. We gonna work on more music. I like the record, but to be honest with you, it was a female record. And I feel like people didn’t want to hear Benny and Nas, the first time they’re hearing us, on a female record. And it’s a dope record, the females would’ve loved it,” said Benny.
On collaborating with Drake on a couple of records, Benny added, “I gave him a verse for something he’s working on, and he gave me a verse for something I’m working on. The intent was pure. We just linked up and felt like it’s the right thing to do. I respect him for that. This n####’s on fire. He don’t gotta reach out and send no verse to me, so I’m just appreciative of that.”
