Griselda Announces Shady Records Debut LP

The highly touted Buffalo New York underground rap champions Griselda have announced their long-awaited Shady Records debut LP WWCD for this Friday, November 29th. The album will feature Eminem, 50 Cent, Raekwon The Chef and more (full tracklisting below). Westside Gunn, Conway The Machine and Benny The Butcher, the core of Griselda, have been three of the most prolific artists of the latter half of the past decade, with a rap acumen and grind that brought them from the streets of Buffalo, NY to cosigns and deals with two of the biggest and most important rappers of all time; a Shady Records label deal and now involvement with Roc Nation Management. Having only formed Griselda Records in 2014, it’s an impressive come up in only five years that includes 20+ mixtapes between the three of them and an encyclopedia worth of storylines and visual art. Along the album announcement comes the intro to the WWCD Documentary series that outlines the artists’ come up individually with episodes for Westside Gunn, Conway The Machine, Benny The Butcher and Daringer. Watch the trailer for the series up top.

WWCD is named after and dedicated to artist Machine Gunn Black, aka Chine Gunn – Benny The Butchers half brother and Westside Gunn’s first cousin – who was murdered in Buffalo during the early aughts of Griselda’s formation. His impact on the artists and label is outlined within the documentary series. The bulk of production responsibilities are helmed by Buffalo / Griselda in house producer Daringer, the man responsible for the labels grimy rap aesthetic along with Beat Butcha. Pre-orders of the album will come with a limited edition / exclusive Shady & Griselda WWCD T-Shirt only available this week. Cop that and hear two previously released tracks from the album below.
