Everybody Can't Go is the fourth studio album by American rapper Benny the Butcher. It's scheduled to be released on January 26, 2024, through 5 to 50 and Def Jam Recordings. The album includes guest appearances from Lil Wayne and Stove God Cooks and features production from The Alchemist and Hit-Boy.

Background and promotion

The album was first teased in February 2023 following the 65th Annual Grammy Awards after which Benny had taken to his Instagram to post a picture that he captioned "Sometimes the experience of the journey is a better feeling than reaching the destination. You won’t ever kno unless u make it there…but remember ‘EVERYBODY CAN’T GO'. The Album produced by @hitboy…Loading".[1][2] Just a month later, in March 2023, Benny and Hit-Boy previewed a track from the album.[3] In April 2023, in an interview with DTLR, Benny announced that the album was set to release on August 11, 2023:[4]

Man, this new project, I’m not gon lie this is the first time I even announced this anywhere because this my first interview. You know, August 11, Everybody Can’t Go. Everybody Can’t Go, that’s the first time I announced the date publicly because they just told me like three days ago.

In June 2023, Benny revealed that he was "pissed" after not taking advantage of his song with Drake, bringing him major publicity, allowing him to further promote the release of the album.[5][6][7] In the interview, he stated:[8]

I was pissed, I’m not gon' lie. It’s a fucking Drake record. It was my biggest record...It’s a record just sitting in my pocket but I understand the mechanics of the business. I don’t know [what happened] neither. I can’t speak for [Drake] and his team… I got schedules. I might do a feature for somebody and they be like, "Benny, we ready to drop this Tuesday". And I’m like, "N***a you ain’t dropping that Tuesday 'cause we holding off, I got this". That’s the biggest artist in the world so I understand his release schedule might be hectic or he might have people that be like, "We can’t drop that right now because we doing this". I understand that. He's the name, but he represents a lot of people that he works with and his moves affect a lot of people, so I understand that part.

In July 2023, Benny teased the album's lead single, "Big Dog" with Lil Wayne, building anticipation for the project.[9][10] In August 2023, Hit-Boy announced that the album would be pushed back, noting that "it was supposed to come in August but I think it’s getting pushed back".[11] Weeks later, Benny previewed the entirety of Wayne's verse on "Big Dog."[12] Ending October, Benny vegun to promote the release of "Big Dog" by wiping his Instagram page and posting a countdown while thanking fans for building anticipation to the album.[13][14] In an interview with Rap Radar, Benny broke down the meaning behind the album's title:[15]

Everybody can’t go because they not cut like that. They not made like that. And you can’t dance to every song, you know what I’m saying? […] Everything is not for everybody. With new levels come new devils, and I want more. I want bigger for myself. When you make that first cut — when you clearly see, "these people are not for me, they don’t need to be here" — so the people who made that, who got past that cut, they think they’re safe. And what I mean by level up, you know, is my way of thinking. And of course, my way of making music.

On November 3, 2023, the album's lead single, "Big Dog" with Lil Wayne was released alongside its official music video.[16] Over a month later, on December 8, 2023, Benny released the album's second single, "One Foot In" with Stove God Cooks alongside its official music video.[17]
