Benny The Butcher announced his upcoming tour on social media on Monday (March 13) “Thank God I Made It World Tour.” The tour, which is set to start in Baltimore in April, will tour four additional American cities before heading over to Europe, where the Buffalo emcee is scheduled to rock stages in Israel, Greece, Germany, as well as many more cities before coming to an end in April. It should be noted that along with the announcement, Benny also provided some humorous instructions about how to celebrate, including that you should buy tickets, make your way to the right venue, scream at the top of your lungs, and sing the lyrics as though you wrote ’em yourself.
In the interview that Benny conducted for the “Tour Tales” series, Benny The Butcher spoke publicly about how important it is to give fans a show that is second to none. “People come to see what I do when I rap over just the record and don’t have any vocals,” he explained. “At first, I never realized what I was doing until I started doing it regularly for two or three years. There is a greater level of emotion in that. There is no better way to express your feelings.”
The musician also provided some tips that he has learned over the course of his career regarding touring.
“You should be cautious about inviting them back into your room,” Benny The Butcher advised. “In addition, you should be cautious of these promoters. It is possible that they are attempting to scam you. There’s a variety of s**t to look out for besides searching out for violence.”
A few years back, in the year 2022, Benny The Butcher launched the fourth episode of his Tana Talk series. A total of twelve tracks were featured on that project, along with features from the likes of 38 Spesh, Diddy, Conway The Machine, J. Cole, Boldy James, and Westside Gunn. His Black Soprano Family collective was also involved with the compilation titled Long Live DJ Shay in the same year, which was named for the late Griselda Records producer of the same name. It is important to note that Benny has appeared on a plethora of songs, outside of his own releases, including G Herbo “Real Rap,” Maxo Kream “FOOTBALL HEADS,” Lobby Boyz “Praying,” Lloyd Banks “Living Proof,” DJ Drama “Forever,” and French Montana “RZA.”

The official soundtrack to Creed III was released earlier this month by JID. In addition to Proximity Media, Outlier Society, Dreamville, and Frank Brim, the body of work was executive produced by Dreamville as well. The first taste of the soundtrack was JID’s and Lute’s “Ma Boy” single, which was released at the end of February, and has been one of the biggest sellers ever. In a video presentation that took place today (March 14), the two returned to introduce the video that goes along with the song. With the new visual, JID puts himself in a boxing ring as he fires off his signature flow, taking direct inspiration from the Michael B. Jordan-directed movie:
I was delighted to hear that back in August of 2022, JID delivered his highly anticipated album, The Forever Story. This project features an impressive roster of artists including Johnta Austin, Yasiin Bey, and Lil Wayne, among others. Additionally, this project has tapped into the talents of many peers including BADBADNOTGOOD, Mustafa The Poet, 21 Savage, EarthGang, Lil Durk, Ari Lennox, and Fousheé. Executive produced on The Forever Story, as well as authoring and producing all 16 tracks, was longtime DJ and producer Christo, who had 10 credits to his name.
In addition, Lute has recently released a new album called Gold Mouf. There are 13 tracks contained in this offering, with appearances by labelmates such as Cozz, JID, and Ari Lennox, as well as performances by BJ The Chicago Kid, Saba, Westside Boogie, and more. In a short period of time afterward, he released the official deluxe upgrade of the album, which added six new songs, including “Like Wine” a track that appeared on DJ Drama’s D-Day: A Gangsta Grillz Mixtape.

In recent news, a shocking story has emerged from Santa Monica, California. A homeless man Job Uriah Taylor has been arrested for committing multiple violent hate crimes that have left the community shaken and outraged. This disturbing incident serves as a reminder of the ongoing issue of homelessness and mental illness in our society, and highlights the urgent need to address these issues before they result in tragic consequences.
The suspect, who has not been publicly identified as Job Uriah Taylor, is accused of attacking four victims with a knife and making racist and homophobic slurs during the attacks.
The first victim was attacked around 2:15 a.m. as he was walking near the intersection of 4th Street and Wilshire Boulevard. The victim, who is African-American, was slashed across the face with a knife and suffered minor injuries. The second victim, also African-American, was attacked about 15 minutes later near the same intersection. He too was slashed with a knife and suffered minor injuries.
The third victim, a Hispanic man, was attacked around 2:45 a.m. near the intersection of 5th Street and Arizona Avenue. He sustained serious injuries after being stabbed multiple times. The fourth victim, a white man, was attacked around 3:00 a.m. near the intersection of 5th Street and Santa Monica Boulevard. He too sustained serious injuries after being stabbed multiple times.
All four victims were taken to local hospitals for treatment and are expected to recover from their injuries. The suspect was arrested soon after the fourth attack and is currently being held on $1 million bail. He faces charges of attempted murder, assault with a deadly weapon, and hate crimes enhancements.”
Job Uriah Taylor has a long history of violence and mental illness. He has been diagnosed with schizophrenic disorder and has been involuntarily committed to mental health facilities on several occasions. In 2006, he was convicted of making criminal threats and served time in prison.
Since his release from prison, Job Uriah Taylor has been living on the streets of Santa Monica. He has had several run-ins with the law, including an arrest for public intoxication and disorderly conduct. He also has a history of making homophobic slurs towards people he doesn’t know.
Santa Monica authorities responded to the arrest of a homeless man for multiple violent hate crimes by stating that they are taking the situation very seriously. They have increased patrols in the area and are working with local organizations to provide resources and support to the homeless community. They also encourage anyone who may have information about the suspect or any other potential threats to come forward so that they can be fully investigated.
Many residents are still in shock that such hatred could happen in their normally peaceful city. “I can’t believe this is happening here,” one woman told reporters. “It’s just so scary.”
Others say they aren’t surprised, given the recent rise in racism and bigotry across the country. “I guess it was only a matter of time before something like this happened here,” said one man. “It’s just so sad.”
