Benny The Butcher drops “Summertime Butch 2” album
Buffalo’s own Benny The Butcher is back to own the summer with the release of his latest project, Summertime Butch 2, dropping on July 16, 2025—affectionately known as “716 Day.” This date honors Buffalo’s area code, and Benny uses it as both a tribute to his roots and a springboard for a project that feels larger than a release: it’s a seasonal statement.
With an explosive rollout, hard-hitting production, and some of the grittiest bars you’ll hear this year, Summertime Butch 2 blends hometown loyalty with mainstream ambition. It’s more than an album—it’s a message.
Why 716 Day Matters
For fans outside New York, “716 Day” might seem like just a date. But in Buffalo, it’s a moment of pride. For Benny, it’s a reminder of the struggle and the survival that shaped him.
