Griselda Records' Benny the Butcher has returned with a scorching new song entitled "Johnny P's Caddy", featuring J. Cole and produced by The Alchemist. With such an all-star line-up, this track still lives up to the anticipation with passionate vocal performances and sublimely crafted production. Serving as the lead single for his upcoming album Tana Talk 4, "Johnny P's Caddy" finds the Benny and Cole trading equally powerful verses, demonstrating the importance of healthy competition in hip-hop.
The instrumental for "Johnny P's Caddy" creates a motivational mood with rich vocal samples underscored by uplifting strings. Beneath, The Alchemist brings in his characteristically gritty, sturdy percussion and pairs it with infectious bass, crafting a strong foundation for the two rappers' fiery vocals. Both Benny and Cole deliver intense verses that are packed with dense wordplay, yet come across as effortless and smooth. Their performances reflect that they are two rappers currently at the top of their game, and it is engrossing to hear them attack this beat with such ferocity and clarity.
"Johnny P's Caddy" will appear on Tana Talk 4, which is likely to be one of the most talked about records in hip-hop this year. If this song is any indication, we have much to look forward to in the full album, which continues Benny the Butcher's storied Tana Talk album series.
