Benny The Butcher Returns With “Elevate” Ahead of A Friend of Ours 2
Benny The Butcher opens another chapter for Black Soprano Family with a new single that examines success, survival, and the realities behind his rise.
Benny The Butcher has never presented success as a simple escape from the circumstances that shaped him. His music has consistently returned to the relationship between ambition, financial progress, and the experiences that remain with an artist long after his career changes.
That perspective is central to “Elevate,” the new single credited to Benny The Butcher and Black Soprano Family. Released October 30, the record introduces the next stage of the crew’s rollout for A Friend of Ours 2, scheduled to arrive November 13, 2026.
Produced by Moose Tarantino, “Elevate” finds Benny reflecting on his career and the complications that accompany advancement. The song addresses his movement through the music business, including his experience with the major-label system, while maintaining the direct storytelling that has defined his work.

The subject matter gives the record a broader significance than a conventional announcement single. For independent artists, reaching a new level of financial success does not automatically resolve every personal or professional challenge. Benny’s career offers a particularly visible example of an artist whose reputation was built through a sustained catalog before expanding into larger industry relationships.
The Black Soprano Family connection adds another dimension. Benny has developed the collective into a platform that extends beyond his own recordings, creating opportunities for affiliated artists and strengthening the identity surrounding his music.
A Friend of Ours 2 continues a series that began in 2018. The forthcoming release is credited to Benny The Butcher, Black Soprano Family, and Fuego Base, with Perfect Time Music Group listed as the releasing entity.
That continuity matters. Returning to an established title connects the current project to an earlier stage of Benny’s career while demonstrating how much his position in Hip-Hop has changed since the original installment.
“Elevate” arrives with an official video, giving the new campaign a visual introduction as the November 13 album date approaches.
For Benny, the next release is another opportunity to demonstrate that building a career and building an organization can happen simultaneously. His own name may attract the initial attention, but the long-term importance of Black Soprano Family will depend on the identity and opportunities the collective continues to create.
“Elevate” is available now.
