.38 Spesh & Benny The Butcher Combine Rosters For ‘Trust The Sopranos’ Compilation

This April, Rochester MC and Trust Gang Family honcho .38 Spesh and Griselda phenom (and Black Soprano Family mastermind) Benny The Butcher are once again joining forces for the joint compilation LP, Trust The Sopranos. 

“Benny and I have been partners in rhyme for years, so it only made sense to align our respective brands and bring our talented rosters together for a monumental compilation album,” Spesh noted via press release.

As the MC/producer explained during a recent interview with AAHH, his relationship with Benny dates back to 2005-2006. To put that in context with Griselda’s timeline, Westside Gunn crafted his debut mixtape Flyest Nig@@ in Charge, Vol. 1 in 2005 — and Conway hadn’t been shot yet (that happened in late 2006).

The two had a shared connection, the late DJ Shay. “God bless DJ Shay … I recorded my first mixtapes in [Shay’s] studio,” he says. “Rochester and Buffalo are 45 minutes away, so I used to travel out there cause I liked the vibe. That’s how I met Benny. He was working out of there as well.

“We immediately clicked and just started making music together. This was about 15 years ago.”

The first single from the compilation, “Immunity,” enlists Griselda’s youngest affiliate Elcamino, who spit alongside Benny.

TCF & BSF’s Trust The Sopranos will be released on 4-23-21.
