Benny the Butcher A Friend of Ours 2: Tracklist and Features

By Cole Ashby, November 13, 2026

Benny the Butcher's A Friend of Ours 2, with Black Soprano Family and Fuego Base, is out November 13, 2026, on Perfect Time Music Group. Apple Music lists the Hip-Hop album at 10 songs and 31:10. The copyright line is 2026 Perfect Time Music Group.

"Channel Boots" opens the album and features Elcamino. "Broad Day Viewpoints" features Rick Hyde. "Make It Make Sense" features Sule and Flames Dot Malik. "Traumatized" has no featured guest, and neither does "Caine Sales." "My City" features Duckman. "Butch In This Bxtch" features Elcamino again. "20 Dollars" features OT The Real and Flames Dot Malik. "West End Tavern" features Elcamino, Rick Hyde, and Sule. The album closes with "Elevate."

The closer is already out as a single. "Elevate" came out October 30, 2026, and Moose Tarantino produced it. Tom Breihan, writing for Stereogum on October 30, 2026, put the single that day and named the same producer. The same piece also had A Friend of Ours 2 arriving November 13, 2026, on Perfect Time Music Group. A video is on BennyTheButcherVEVO. Apple lists "Elevate" as track 10 on the album.

The title he is bringing back

This is a sequel in name to A Friend of Ours, from June 1, 2018, then under Benny the Butcher's name alone. That first album was also 10 songs, and Elcamino was already on five of them. The new record keeps the title, adds the 2, and puts Black Soprano Family and Fuego Base on the main artist line with him. They are not featured guests here. They share the artist credit. The 2018 album carried a Black Soprano Family, LLC copyright. This one is Perfect Time Music Group.

Since 2024 he has put out Everybody Can't Go, Summertime Butch, Excelsior, Summertime Butch 2, Big Slow Fest, Ashes In The Safe, and The Plugs I Met 2.5. That is a fast run after Tana Talk 4 in 2022. Ashes In The Safe, from April 22, 2026, already carries the same three names, Benny the Butcher, Fuego Base, and Black Soprano Family, in that order.

The same day also brings Westside Gunn's HEELMATIC, a Griselda album also out November 13, 2026, and covered in KAZI's November 13 hip-hop albums roundup, published November 10.

What he said when the last major-label album landed

On January 25, 2024, Earl Hopkins interviewed him for GRAMMY.com, ahead of Everybody Can't Go. The piece calls him an East Buffalo rapper and notes that he was born Jeremie Pennick. Asked about his confidence, he said, "My confidence comes from my talent, and my talent comes from my preparation." Later in the same interview, talking about the album title, he said, "Everybody Can't Go is me realizing, Wow, it's not for everybody even though I got this far to help provide opportunities." The same piece names Rick Hyde and Elcamino among the BSF roster he intended to do more with. Those names are not leftover from that interview. They are on this album.

Who is on the record

The tracklist does not read like a borrowed guest-star list. It is a three-name album, the same three already together in April, attached to a 2018 title that started as his alone. Black Soprano Family and Fuego Base sit on the artist line, not in a featured credit. Elcamino is on three of the ten songs, after five credits on the first A Friend of Ours. Rick Hyde and Elcamino are the roster he told GRAMMY.com he wanted to do more with.

He told GRAMMY.com he had gotten far enough to help provide opportunities. The tracklist shows he is not shopping this one out. He is keeping it in the house.
