Benny The Butcher continues his run as one of hip-hop’s most consistent voices with the release of The Plugs I Met 2.5, now available on all major streaming platforms. The new six-track EP serves as a bridge installment in his acclaimed Plugs I Met series, setting the stage for a landmark combined anniversary project that will merge The Plugs I Met and The Plugs I Met 2 into one definitive album, scheduled for release on June 26, 2026. The project reinforces Benny’s role in shaping modern East Coast street rap while extending one of his most celebrated bodies of work.
The EP features guest appearances from Raekwon, 38 Spesh, Bruiser Wolf, as well as BSF affiliates ElCamino and Fuego Base. Production is handled by a familiar lineup of collaborators including Harry Fraud, Daringer, Beat Butcha, and the late DJ Shay. The release also arrives as the series marks major milestones, with The Plugs I Met celebrating its seventh anniversary and The Plugs I Met 2 marking its fifth, both of which have earned lasting critical and fan acclaim. Alongside the EP, Benny has also unveiled a new visual for “Can’t Be Much,” further building momentum toward the upcoming anniversary compilation.
