🆕 WESTSIDE GUNN INTERVIEW 🆕 Clarity As a label boss and creative entrepreneur, Westside Gunn feels it’s his duty to diversify the culture before he bids farewell to the game. _________________________________ Westside Gunn is a rare breed in hip-hop’s current climate. Outside of his meme-worthy ad-libs and eccentric personality, the man is a visionary fueled by making a cross-cultural impact. As the cofounder of Griselda Records alongside Benny The Butcher and Conway the Machine, Gunn put Buffalo, N.Y., a city known primarily for football and chicken wings, on the map as a breeding ground for some of rap's most respected lyricists of the past decade. He's also been successfully dedicated to bridging the gap between hip-hop and other often-considered taboo art forms, and he’s not shy about it. As a kid coming up on the East Side of New York’s Nickel City, fashion was Westside Gunn’s creative outlet. While he admits he never strived “to be the best rapper,” his skill and creativity in that lane has earned him much respect. Gunn has worked with many rappers from all corners of the game, ranging from late legends like DMX and MF Doom to current megastars like Travis Scott and Tyler, the Creator. He's handled business in major distribution deals with the likes of Jay-Z and Eminem while simultaneously laying the groundwork for the budding careers of Stove God Cooks and Armani Caesar. A casual listen to Gunn’s extensive catalog could serve as an audio lesson in dealing with the world's hardest drug cartels, but the 43-year-old Griselda frontman is equally equipped to school hip-hop heads on the latest runway trends at Paris Fashion Week as well as the elusive inner workings of the world of professional wrestling. _________________________________ See Westside Gunn's full interview here: ⬇️ xxlmag.com/westside-gunn-…
