Benny The Butcher releases his new EP, ‘The Plugs I Met 2.5’, as well as his new video for “Can’t Be Much”

Benny The Butcher continues his reign as one of hip-hop’s most consistent and celebrated voices with the release of ‘The Plugs I Met 2.5’, available now on all streaming platforms. The new EP serves as a bridge chapter in one of rap’s most beloved series, arriving ahead of a landmark anniversary release of ‘The Plugs I Met’ and ‘The Plugs I Met 2’, as Benny combines all of the ‘PIM’ titles into one classic album. The ‘PIM Anniversary’ release is scheduled for 6.26.2026.

With ‘The Plugs I Met 2.5’, Butch delivers six new tracks, including a guest appearance from hip-hop royalty Raekwon, 38 Spesh, Detroit’s own Bruiser Wolf, and longtime BSF members ElCamino and Fuego Base. The production is handled by familiar Plugs— Harry Fraud, Daringer, Beat Butcha, and the late DJ Shay (RIP).

The release arrives as the ‘PIM’ series marks two significant milestones: ‘The Plugs I Met’ recently celebrated its 7th anniversary, and ‘The Plugs I Met 2′ its 5th — both records having earned widespread critical acclaim and enduring fan devotion since their respective releases. The combined anniversary edition dropping 6.26.2026 will give listeners a definitive opportunity to revisit both chapters back to back, cementing the series’ legacy as one of the most essential bodies of work in contemporary hip-hop.

Alongside ‘The Plugs I Met 2.5’, Benny has unveiled a new visual for “Can’t Be Much”, which can be viewed below.

Benny The Butcher’s ‘The Plugs I Met 2.5’ is now available at all DSPs. The combined anniversary edition of ‘The Plugs I Met’ and ‘The Plugs I Met 2’ will be released on 6.26.26.
