Johnny P’s Caddy

Johnny P’s Caddy

Benny the Butcher & J. Cole

On “Johnny P’s Caddy,“ Benny The Butcher and J. Cole link up to boast about their rise to the top in rap. Released on the same day as J. Cole’s birthday (January 28), the track serves as the lead single to Tana Talk 4 and marks the first collaboration between Benny and Cole.

The track’s instrumental was produced by The Alchemist, who took the drums from Dexter Wansel’s “Theme From the Planets," which is a track that Cole’s familiar with—it was sampled on his June 2009 song “Lights Please,“ and on December 2016’s “everybody dies.”

The title is inspired by the Cadillac that Benny’s father owned when he was growing up. It might also be a tribute to the late R&B artist Johnny P, who famously gave a chorus about riding in a Cadillac on Do or Die’s 1996 single, “Po Pimp.”

Benny released an official music video to go with the song’s release, in which he and Cole look back through time, fitting with the overarching theme of the song.
