After dropping his Def Jam debut Everybody can’t Go earlier this year and Summertime Butch project just two weeks ago, Benny still has more surprises in store for fans as he drops this three-track EP, Buffalo Butch, Vol 1.

Arguably the fastest rising star in Hip Hop right now, Cash Cobain’s debut album strikes while the iron is hot as he continues to push drill in exciting new directions, turning the hard sound into something more playful and sexier.
