Entertainment One (eOne) and Benny The Butcher announce a new, global label deal with Benny’s Black Soprano Family (BSF) imprint and unveil plans to release a slate of new music in 2020 for its roster.
Under this new deal, BSF artists Heem & Rick Hyde will release new albums this later this year, and today sees the official release of the new single, “Da Mob,” which features Benny, Heem & Rick Hyde. “Da Mob” is taken from the forthcoming Benny The Butcher & DJ Drama Presents: Gangsta Grillz X BSF Da Respected Sopranos, scheduled to be released in June. This will be followed by a Black Soprano Family label compilation project where Benny will introduce the rest of his BSF roster.
Headed by Westside Gunn, The Griselda collective (Benny, Westside Gunn and Conway the Machine) has been sweeping the hip hop charts and created a solid fan base who fully supports their movement.
“What Benny has done to keep his work in the forefront since 2009 has been incredible. eOne is driven by great talent and having BSF in the family only adds to what we can do now. This first track is the start of more big things to come from Benny, Rick Hyde and Heem, and we are proud to be playing a part in it.” – Sean Stevenson, eOne’s EVP and GM
Benny says, “This is a dream come true to me. A dream that started in my head in 2011 while I was in prison. The seeds were planted while I was at Elmira correctional facility and when I was released in 2012, I’ve spent every day since working to bring this vision to fruition.”
“It’s been one of my dreams to do a label deal and put my homies in position to win. I want to expose the talent from my area and I want to expose the world to the talent they may not have heard unless it was brought to you by Black Soprano Family.” “I see us as leaders; I’m cut from that cloth.”
