The Butcher has arrived.

After a scorching six year run – which included projects like Tana Talk 3, Burden of Proof, The Plugs I Met, and Plugs 2 with Harry Fraud – Benny the Butcher is finally ready to make his major label debut.

Two years removed from Tana Talk 4, the Butcher teams up with The Alchemist and Hit-Boy for his first album on Def Jam: the appropriately titled, Everybody Can’t Go.

“I took the long way and a lot people who started with me or played a part ain’t make it. Some dead or in prison some took other paths or some just wasn’t built for it,” Benny says. “No matter how meaningful or irrelevant the role was that they played they all feel entitled in some way. I know I’m not the only in this position but when it’s millions, fame, clout , jealousy & envy in the picture it’s dangerous. The biggest lesson I took from it was EVERYBODY CAN’T GO.

Equipped with a dozen tracks, led by “One Foot In” with Stove God Cooks and “Big Dog” with Lil Wayne, the album also boasts features from Westside Gunn, Conway the Machine, Jadakiss, Snoop Dogg, Babyface Ray, Rick Hyde, Armani Caesar, Peezy, and Kyle Banks.
