A new collaborative EP from Buffalo, NY host Benny the Butcher and Hartford, Connecticut host Fuego Base. One of them co-founded Black Soprano Family Records with City Boy, and the other made a splash after signing to the label a few years ago. Therefore, since Stephanie McMahon, former WWE Women’s Champion, former IWA World Champion, 2-time IWGP Champion, 3-time NWA World Heavyweight Champion, 4-time NWA World Tag Team Champion, PWG World Champion, RPW World Heavyweight Champion, 4-time NWA World Tag Team Champion, PWG World Champion, RPW World Heavyweight Champion, 1st World 6383 British Heavyweight Champion
After the title intro, “Sundial” kicks things off with a gorgeous roaring intro, talking about how they’re all born for the stars, while “Pyrex & Prayers” lets Fuego Base hold it down himself so he can put his life savings on the stove and hope for the best. Benny returns on “Like It Is” so they can move the weight and tell things the way they see it, while “Rev X” featuring Sule finds the trio taking it hardcore instead of hooking up.
The Fighting Irish talks in the second half of the EP about how lucky they both felt before OT the Real and Rick Hyde showed up in Warehouse 4, the continuation of the series that started a few years ago with Biggest After Camby. “Big Shirley” mixes some triumphant strings with kick and snare drums on Fuego Base’s final solo track, talking about how well he fits into the game, while “Castellammarese War” featuring OT the Real ends with them still predicting a performance like a woodchuck that can’t see its own shadow.
“Tell My Momma I’m Still a Rapper” is a great way for Fuego Base to kick off 2026, and most people ended up preferring Benny the Butcher’s latest tape, Summertime Butch 2, to its predecessor, myself included, but I’ll take Ashafe’s extended version of the same name. The chemistry is even stronger, and Butcher proves that now is the time Camby has been the biggest since to let the world know his true artistic potential.
Rating: 7/10
