Benny The Butcher On How He Turned To Crime To Make Ends Meet
Benny The Butcher grew up in Buffalo, New York, and eventually turned to crime to make ends meet. He talked about leaving his drug dealing background behind to focus on his rap profession in an interview.
“I got into it being from a neighborhood that was blanketed with it,” he says. “The whole history of the neighborhood was about drug dealing. It was a drug dealing block and I was born on that block. When my mom birthed me, I was brought home from the hospital on that block. So the hustlers outside was doing what they was doing.”
“As I grew up, those dudes was my friends, those dudes turned into my brothers, so I did what they did. It’s just the path I chose at the time. I got three felonies. I’ve been back and forth, in and out of prison.”
