Dear Summer…Benny The Butcher is back, as the Black Soprano Family general and Griselda cornerstone has released a new single, “Summer ‘26.” The track is the third installment in his celebrated and fan-favorite “Summer” series, and it is produced by frequent collaborator Harry Fraud, whose signature sound has become a backdrop for some of Benny’s most memorable records.

“Summer ‘26” finds Benny outside and activated, with the street-level precision and knowledge that have made him one of the most respected and consistent voices in hip-hop. Building on the foundation laid by the first two entries in the series, this chapter finds Benny reflecting on not only staying true to the game, but elevating it-and three consecutive summers of growth, grind, and grit.
