Right after the 2023 Grammy Awards, the previous full-length collaborators are cooking up heat again.

Benny the Butcher and Hit-Boy just announced their upcoming collab album, Everybody Can't Go. Right after the 2023 Grammys, the two hip-hop creatives reminded rap listeners that, while there's much to celebrate, there's even more greatness coming. Moreover, both artists posted videos of a meet-up on social media, in which Benny freestyles over a beat. On Instagram, both shared their excitement for their work together. "In the gym rn," the legendary producer posted on Instagram. Whereas he kept it short and sweet, the Griselda rapper was a bit more boastful. "It’s almost my turn again…," he wrote. "Me and @hitboy undefeated !!!"

From Benny's cold raps and Hit-Boy's booming beat, this newly announced album should be a treat to witness. "Work I’m cuttin' more times than Kyrie been traded,” Benny rapped. In fact, that's a timely shot towards Kyrie Irving, who just traded to the Dallas Mavericks. "I was one foot in the door after that freestyle with Flex. I was one foot in the game at Jay-Z's house with West. Now you see how I clean house and see wild success." Although he cut it off towards the end, the Buffalo MC ate up that instrumental with his bars.

Last time that Benny and Hit-Boy linked long-term was for Benny's 2020 album Burden of Proof, which Hit-Boy entirely produced. On his announcement post, the Buffalo native penned an anticipatory message along with a picture of him at the Grammys. "Sometimes the experience of the journey is a better feeling than reaching the destination," he expressed. "You won’t ever kno unless u make it there…but remember ‘EVERYBODY CAN’T GO’ The Album produced by @hitboy…Loading"

Meanwhile, both artists teased fans with this collab after an incredibly successful year for them. For example, Hit-Boy contributed to some of the year's best hip-hop albums. In fact, he capped off the year with a contender for the best in Nas's King's Disease III, continuing their high-quality series. On his end, Benny the Butcher released Tana Talk 4, which for many fans was his most consistent and engaging album to date. However you may feel, come back to HNHH for the latest on Benny the Butcher and Hit-Boy.
