Co-headlined by Benny the Butcher and Connecticut mainstay Fuego Base, A Friend of Ours 2 serves as a sequel to a 2018 mixtape that showcased the Griselda rapper’s then-burgeoning Black Soprano Family. In the eight years separating these two projects, the collective and its corresponding label became a prolific presence in the underground through solo efforts and crew compilations, with this 2026 project falling into the latter category. One of the only artists to feature on both installments, Elcamino enjoys three separate appearances on the follow-up, including “Chanel Boots” and “Butch in This Bxtch.” Newly minted B$F member OT The Real brings his grimy mindset and gravelly voice to “20 Dollars,” while fully vested representative Rick Hyde tells it like it is on the blues-rock interpolation “Broad Day Viewpoints.” The criminally minded core duo behind these tracks make for a solid pairing, evidenced by “Caine Sales” and the tidier two-hander “Traumatized.”
