In conversation, Gunn is both art director and archivist. He’ll speak about beats like a curator describing brush strokes, about collaborators like they’re saints in a pantheon. He frames his career as an ongoing rite: releases are offerings; guest verses are communion. Even industry clashes become parables—less gossip, more scripture for those paying attention.
In the landscape of modern hip-hop, few artists have cultivated a aesthetic as distinct and uncompromising as Westside Gunn. As the lynchpin of the Buffalo collective Griselda Records, Gunn has built an empire on the back of gritty, lo-fi production, high-fashion references, and the visceral reality of the dope game. Among his sprawling discography of mixtapes, studio albums, and EPs, stands out as a quintessential artifact of the sound that defined the "Buffalo movement."
Released on November 1, 2024, is the fifteenth mixtape by Buffalo rapper Westside Gunn , narrated by DJ Drama under his legendary Gangsta Grillz banner . The project serves as the final installment in a thematic trilogy following 2020’s Pray for Paris and 2023’s And Then You Pray for Me .
