Jeremie Damon Pennick (born November 27, 1984), known professionally as Benny the Butcher (sometimes stylized as B.E.N.N.Y. the Butcher, or simply Benny), is an American rapper and actor from Buffalo, New York.
He is part of the hip hop group Griselda with frequent collaborators and first-cousins Westside Gunn and Conway the Machine.
He is also a part of the collective Black Soprano Family.
On March 3, 2017, Griselda (as a collective), as well as Pennick's cousins Westside Gunn and Conway the Machine, signed a deal with Eminem's Shady Records, a subsidiary of Interscope.
On November 23, 2018, he released his debut studio album Tana Talk 3, produced by The Alchemist and Griselda producer Daringer, and includes features from Westside Gunn, Conway the Machine and Royce da 5'9". The album was critically acclaimed and brought widespread attention to the rapper.
On November 12, 2021, he officially signed a record deal with Def Jam Recordings for upcoming releases. The label's president, fellow American rapper Snoop Dogg, made the announcement on Joe Rogan's podcast The Joe Rogan Experience a week after Benny the Butcher was featured on Snoop Dogg's single "Murder Music" alongside Jadakiss and Busta Rhymes.
On January 28, 2022, Benny released the single, "Johnny P's Caddy", featuring J. Cole. The song's title is a reference to the Cadillac Benny's father would drive him and Westside Gunn around in as youngsters; Benny explained that the ride-arounds played a role in how his passion for music developed.
