“There is no rapper working today whose music evokes more feelings about the arbitrary markers of high art, the dopamine rush of luxury for its own sake, the piecemeal restoration of an old style as a new, composite vision.” – The Ringer

“Wildly prolific […] and single-mindedly consistent” – Rolling Stone

“only a mind that determined could take a crew that was destined to exist in a corner of underground rap to having their own ecosystem.” – Pitchfork

Westside Gunn has announced album details for his incredibly anticipated Shady Records debut LP Who Made The Sunshine out this Friday, October 2nd. The album will feature the entire Griselda crew in Conway The Machine, Benny The Butcher, Armani Caesar and Boldy James along with Slick Rick, Black Thought, Busta Rhymes, Jadakiss, Smoke DZA, A.A Rashid, Stove God Cooks, Flee Lord, Estee Nack, ElCaminio, and Keisha Plum. Production credits on the album include Griselda stalwarts Daringer and Beat Butcher along with Alchemist, Just Blaze, and Conductor Williams. You can find the entire tracklisting below. The album, originally scheduled for a late August release was moved out of respect for the death of DJ Shay – the man who paved the way for Griselda Records and their sound.

Westside Gunn is one of the most prolific artists currently in the game having already turned heads and made waves this year with Pray For Paris. The album garnered widespread critical acclaim, with heavy praise coming from the likes of GQ, Rolling Stone, Pitchfork, The Ringer, Stereogum, NPR to name a few. The album also saw Gunn’s entry into Billboard Top 200 for the first time. Three months later Gunn released his FLYGOD Is An Awesome God II mixtape, yet another highpoint for rap in 2019, and another addition to an impeccable discography. Gunn’s rap acumen and grind have brought him from the streets of Buffalo, NY to cosigns and deals with two of the biggest and most important rappers of all time; via a deal with Eminem’s Shady Records and a management partnership with Jay-Z’s Roc Nation, and his drive, determination and vision has established his independent record label, Griselda, as one of the most important and exciting imprints in the culture. Stay tuned for more details on the album coming soon.
