Benny The Butcher with a Live Band

City Winery NYC presents Benny The Butcher with a Live Band on Monday, December 14th, at 7:30 PM! Born and raised in Buffalo, New York. Growing up in poverty, with seven siblings and a mother who struggled with addiction, he faced hardships from a very young age. By 14, he was selling drugs — something he still credits for giving him some semblance of financial stability. In 2004, he began working with fellow Buffalo native DJ Shay to record songs, and released his first mixtape, ‘Tana Talk’ (a reference to his street, Montana Avenue), a project that’s now considered lost media. His 2018 debut album, ‘Tana Talk 3’, produced by The Alchemist and Buffalo’s Daringer, secured his slot as one of the underground’s modern-day greats. As a core member of Buffalo-based collective and independent record label Griselda, alongside his cousins Westside Gunn and Conway the Machine, Benny the Butcher has garnered recognition as one of the East Coast’s most beloved rappers, dropping three studio LPs with the family label and a multitude of mixtapes and collaborative records.
