I think both Griselda Records aficionados and Benny the Butcher fans alike can forgo listening to this 70-minute mixtape released via Buff City Records. The production is simplistic and timid, undecided whether to take the direction to the festive and carefree island of trap and go to the serious safe haven represented by the boom bap. Benny's rapping is still in a cocoon phase, but from tracks like "Benny Electronic", in which he delivers yet another cover of Jay Elect's famous first exhibit, you can understand how the guy has the lyrics and the personality to carry them through, they just need to be better ordered, refined, detailed with good vocabulary, and delivered with more confidence, but the talent is there.
