Sometimes the cure for what ails you is one of the world's hardest emcees going in over soulful boom-bop production. Benny The Butcher is here to supply just that. The Griselda great just dropped "Summer '26," the third in his annual series. Harry Fraud provides la música, chopping up the Lovin' Spoonful's '66 chart-topper "Summer In The City," and Benny cuts loose with the breathless bars you desire.
As a sports fan, I appreciate the Terrell Davis mention and the reference to the Knicks' recent championship, and as someone who cares about the future of journalism, I love hearing Benny deride "these hoes on these podcasts bootlickin'." But here's the line that says it all: "I don't need no hot takes or complex delivery/ I'm still top 10 and don't need Complex to mention me."
Man's not wrong! Below, watch the "Summer '26" video, directed by ProlificKid Films.
