It comes as no surprise that Griselda has become arguably the most in-demand and consistent crews/labels in all of hip-hop. For over a decade, the Westside Gunn-founded label has become synonymous with raw- street-heavy NYC hip-hop that takes people back to the 90s with the likes of Mobb Deep and Wu-Tang. Along with the likes of Benny The Butcher, Conway The Machine, and newer additions such as Armani Ceaser, Rome Streetz, and Boldy James, Griselda has been on the heavy momentum bubble at the very least since 2016, but over these past four years especially, Griselda has carved their own niche on hip-hop that will be talked about for years to come. With that being said, let's get into the (updated) top 25 Griselda releases to date. LFG!
25. Conway The Machine & The Alchemist
LULU
Production: The Alchemist
Guests: Schoolboy Q, Cormega
We start off with "The Machine" of the crew, the always verbally and lyrically assertive Conway and his much anticipated collaboration with one of hip-hop's most prolific and engrossing producers, The Alchemist, for their album, LULU. Filled with Uncle Al's hypnotic boom-bap, Conway's aggressive lyricism is an excellent matchup and the results became another win for both guys. While only clocking in at seven tracks, there's zero filler here and it ranks among both men's knockouts.
24. Westside Gunn
Peace FLY God
Production: Daringer, Madlib, Conductor Williams, Don Cerrera
Guests: Estee Nack, Stove God Cook$
As a precursor to what was supposed to be Gunn's MICHELLE RECORDS, his "mixtape" Peace "FLY" God developed its own heavy buzz and the result was ten tracks of that classic heat from the "Flygod". The majority of production was handled from relatively unknown producer, Don Cerrera, but his brand of vocal loop-heavy production fits into the style that Gunn elegantly does mic work over. This was also a clear showcase for Griselda's next-in-line Stove God Cook$ and underground NY emcee Estee Nack throughout most of the project. However, it was hip-hop production vanguardian, Madlib, that provided arguably the two most incredible beats on the album with "Horses On Sunset" and "Open Praise", but still WSG floats all over each track he's on and this was a great addition to his discography.
23. Armani Caeser
The Liz
Production: JR Swiftz, Denny LeFlare, DJ Premier, Camouflage Monk, AniMoss, STLNDRMS
Guests: Benny The Butcher, Conway The Machine, Westside Gunn
Buffalo native-turned NC resident, Armani Ceaser, became Griselda's first female hip-hop artist and delivered well with her debut, The Liz. With her style of an elegant thug mistress on the mic, she had many bringing back thoughts of Kim and Foxy with her style and image. Over mostly hard, Griselda-esque production (save for a couple of down south trap cuts), Armani showed she could hold her own as the Eve amongst a bunch of Ruff Ryders. In this new generation of female rappers, Armani stood amongst the most watched and talked about among her peers with this album.
22. Conway The Machine
Look What I Became
Production: Daringer, Beat Butcha, The Alchemist, Statik Selektah, DJ Muggs, others
Guests: Westside Gunn, Benny The Butcher, Elcamino, Jim Jones, Dave East
In the build to his Griselda/Shady full-length album, God Don't Make Mistakes, The Machine dropped a couple of projects with this one being the first one. This EP showed even more progression from his prior mixtape, G.O.A.T. plus slightly more varied production and subject matter. From his haunting Alchemist-blessed opener, "No Women, No Kids" to his R&B-tinged triumph "You Made It", this was a dope project from Con and the best was yet to come
21. Mach-Hommy
H.B.O. (Haitian Body Odor)
Production: Daringer, Camouflage Monk, Roc Marciano, Knxwledge, others
Guests: Conway The Machine
The Brooklyn-by way of Haiti-emcee, Mach-Hommy is typically categorized as a very enigmatic and allusive emcee. He doesn't, if not rarely, grants interviews plus we really don't know much about his upbringing or history. What we do know about Hommy is that he's a very gifted emcee and we see that especially during his initial Griselda run with his album, H.B.O. (Haitian Body Odor). A definite banger of an album, Hommy shows his knack for storytelling as well as a thug's thinker, cuts like "Band Anna", "Fresh Off The Boat" and especially the knocking "Bey Six" exhibit Hommy's ability to eloquently riding the beat and show his excellent talent. Trust me, you'll see him again on this list.
20. Westside Gunn
Who Made The Sunshine
Production: Daringer, Beat Butcha, The Alchemist, Conductor Williams, Just Blaze
Guests: Benny The Butcher, Conway The Machine, Armani Caeser, Elcamino, Estee Nack, Flee Lord, Stove God Cook$, Black Thought, Busta Rhymes, Slick Rick, Jadakiss, Smoke DZA
Gunn's first and only Griselda/Shady full-length effort, Who Made The Sunshine, is easily among the most unfairly underrated albums within his entire discography. Capitalizing off the critical success of his previous work, Pray For Paris, this is more of the grimy style we had become accustomed to with him. Stellar cuts like "Ocean Prime", the Black Thought-assisted "Ishkabibbles", and the ominous "Butcher & The Blade" (named after the well-known AEW tag team that ironically are natives of Buffalo, or at least Blade is) bring back the grittiness of what he's known for. While the slightly cringeworthy duet with Armani Ceaser "Liz Loves Luger" (an homage to the tragic relationship between the late wrestling icon, Miss Elizabeth and her then boyfriend, fellow wrestling legend, Lex Luger) serves as unnecessary filler, the album overall is a great follow to PFP and should be ranked higher within his individual discography than it is.
19. Boldy James & Jay Versace
The Versace Tape
Production: Jay Versace
Guests: Westside Gunn, Keisha Plum, Elcamino
Detroit native Boldy James first made waves with his collaborative effort with Uncle Al with M1CS (My 1st Chemistry Set) and it made a lot of folks raise their eyebrows at him. Their follow-up, The Price Of Tea In China was as great if not better than his debut. However, Gunn signed James to Griselda in 2020 and delivered The Versace Tape, his collaborative effort with comedian-turned-producer, Jay Versace. Boldy glides over mostly impressive production from Versace and manages to hold your attention. James has the type of mic talent where can truthfully excel over practically any type of production, but the assistance of Versace is quite underrated and with cuts like "Maria", "Brick Van Excel", and especially the very impressive reworking on Stevie Wonder's "Golden Lady", "Monte Christo", these two need to work on more projects together.
18. Conway The Machine
G.O.A.T.
Production: Daringer, The Alchemist
Guests: Styles P, Royce Da 5'9", Prodigy, Raekwon, Benny The Butcher, Lloyd Banks
In what was often referred to as a full-length album rather than the mixtape it actually was, Machine's G.O.A.T. (Grimiest Of All Time) was an even more overall violent and bleak effort than his heralded Reject 2. Remorseless yet highly impressive in nature, G.O.A.T. has no introspective or vulnerable tracks here. However there are tracks of violence, street narratives, and convincing threats to those that cross him. Excellent guest verses from the likes of Lloyd Banks and Prodigy along with his Griselda-mates of Gunn and Benny shows how much Conway can go toe to toe with anyone you put with him. From the menacing "Bullet Club" to the ominous "Bishop Shot Steel", Machine goes for his here and highly succeeds.
17. Westside Gunn
Pray 4 Paris
Production: Daringer, The Alchemist, DJ Muggs, Tyler The Creator, DJ Premier, Conductor Williams, Camouflage Monk, Jay Versace, Beat Butcha
Guests: Conway The Machine, Benny The Butcher, Joey Bada$$, Billie Esco, Tyler The Creator, Boldy James, Freddie Gibbs, Roc Marciano, Wale, Joyce Wrice
Westside made a case for his most commercially-sounding release to date with this offering. Even while stating that this has a more "commercial" sound to it, don't get it twisted folks. This is still Griselda, which means it's as street as it can get. Think of FLYGOD as The Infamous, Supreme Blientele as Hell On Earth, and Pray For Paris as Murda Muzik. Mobb Deep's fourth album was their most commercial album in terms of sound and sales, but was still very Mobb-like in every way. This is Gunn's Murda Muzik if you will. Very polished and crisp production and mixing make this sound like his most accessible album to date. It's arguably his most elegant sounding album in its most Griselda way. Contributions by the likes of Joey Bada$$, Tyler The Creator, Wale, Uncle Al and even the illustrious Preemo on "Shawn vs. Flair" help make this album among this absolute best and put more people on to him than ever before at that time.
16. Benny The Butcher & Hit-Boy
Burden Of Proof
Production: Hit-Boy
Guests: Westside Gunn, Conway The Machine, Freddie Gibbs, Rick Ross, Lil Wayne, Big Sean, Dom Kennedy
We just mentioned how Pray For Paris was Gunn's most accessible album, yet still as street as ever. Count the same for Benny's collaborative effort with Grammy Award-winning producer, Hit-Boy for Burden Of Proof. Over the past few years, Hit-Boy has become synonymous with the legendary Nas for their King's Disease and Magic efforts. Benny wisely to decided to strike while the ire was hot with H-B and constructed twelve cuts of complete heat front to back. While many have scoffed over how commercial it sounds, this is still Benny. It means that it's still undeniably street. Although cuts like "Thank God I Made It" appear too radio-friendly with the R&B hook, other cuts like the title track, "Famous", and especially "War Paint" reminds us who Benny is and why Hit-Boy can create any sonic masterpiece for anyone under the sun at the moment. While it may not possess the grit and grime of his Tana Talk series or even his Plugs I Met series, don't get it confused. This is still Benny, and he'll still convince you of what he can do with a fork.
15. Westside Gunn
Hitler Wears Hermes VIII
Production: Daringer, Camouflage Monk, Conductor Williams, Denny LeFlare
Guests: Benny The Butcher, Conway The Machine, Lil Wayne, Boldy James, Stove God Cook$, Rome Streetz, Jadakiss, Sauce Walka, Mach-Hommy
What was originally a double disc set of his Hitler Wears Hermes series instead turned out to be a separate set after all. We start with Hermes VIII. Produced primarily by Daringer and his in-house crew The Heartbreakers of Conductor Williams, underground fave Camouflage Monk, and Denny LeFlare, Gunn sounds revived and full of venom and focus on cuts like ""Peri Peri", "Spoons", and "Claire's Back". If we were to compare which Hermes tape is the best, it would likely be either VII or IX, but as a stand alone effort, this is a certified knocker and talks his shit as good as anyone else you can think of.
14. Conway The Machine
Reject 2
Production: Daringer
Guests: Westside Gunn, Benny The Butcher, Skyzoo, Roc Marciano, Mach-Hommy
Arguably seen as the effort that put Conway on more people's radars, Reject 2 is an unrelenting, vengeful follow-up to his Devil's Reject mixtape. Raw and cold-hearted, The Machine comes with enough gunpowder, you can almost smell it through your speakers. Images of death and retaliation are brought up all over this album and marked the true beginning of an acclaimed career. With guests like Roc Marci, Skyzoo, and Hommy with him, alongside his Griselda brethren, this album was a bloody full introduction to many about grimy attitude of The Machine.
13. Benny The Butcher
The Plugs I Met (EP)
Production: Daringer, The Alchemist, DJ Shay
Guests: Jadakiss, Black Thought, Pusha T, 38 Spesh
How do you possibly follow up the greatness that was Tana Talk 3? Enter The Plugs I Met. Folks, he literally mentioned the title of it from a cut off TT3 if that ain't some shit. This EP was primarily orchestrated by Daringer and The Alchemist, the same ones that help make TT3 such a crazy album. This almost sounds like an EP version of it. It's that dope. No Gunn or Conway here, but he does have heavyweights like Black Thought, Jadakiss and Pusha on here, as well as partner in rhyme 38 Spesh. If there was ever a companion piece to another Griselda project, TPIM is the perfect one for TT3 and Benny continued to elevate his mounting fame even a little more from this dynamite effort.
12. Conway The Machine
From King To A God
Production: Daringer, Beat Butcha, DJ Premier, The Alchemist, Hit-Boy, Erick Sermon, Havoc, Rockwilder, Khrysis, Murda Beatz
Guests: Westside Gunn, Benny The Butcher, Freddie Gibbs, Dej Loaf, Elcamino, Method Man, Flee Lord, Lloyd Banks, Armani Caeser
As we inched closer to his much anticipated God Don't Make Mistakes Griselda/Shady full-length, he dropped another teaser project in the form of From King To A God. Improving off the very, very few missteps from his previous work, the aforementioned Look What I've Become, this album has him a little more personal and a little more assertive as well, if that's even possible. The insane jump-off single with Method Man, "Lemons" sets the tone for an album that should rightfully be considered among his top two or three albums/mixtapes ever. The deluxe edition was even harder with blistering cuts such as "Raw Oysters" and "Stefan Diggs" that contain enough venom to satisfy the those who appreciate his brand of bloodshed to the fullest. If this was his teaser project, imagine the possibilities with GDMM!
11. Armani Caeser
The Liz 2
Production: Daringer, Camouflage Monk, Denny LeFlare, Sovren, others
Guests: Westside Gunn, Conway The Machine, Benny The Butcher, Kodak Black
Could Armani replicate the success of her underrated debut, The Liz? In a word, absolutely. The form was the sequel to The Liz, The Liz 2. More polished and possible even more gritty then her previous effort, Armani stepped her lyrical stylings and even showed more of her singing abilities and demonstrated more craftswomanship with her pen game. The NC import displays more confidence in all facets here and even gets a bit more personal here as well. She's inching closer and closest to a major breakout situation, and with Gunn guiding her along the way, the stardom she's seeking, she's one more step to obtaining while not compromising what has brought her to the dance already.
10. Mach-Hommy
Pray 4 Haiti
Production: Camouflage Monk, Conductor Williams, Denny LeFlare, Green Lantern, Nicholas Craven, Messiah Muzik, Sahdugold, Cee Gee
Guests: Westside Gunn, Tha God Fahim
After years of beefing with the Griselda camp, Mach-Hommy reunited with Gunn for him to executive produce under Griselda Records, Pray For Haiti, his Griselda piece since the aforementioned H.B.O. years earlier. In short, this project is arguably the best effort of his career, which spans of years of often heralded mixtapes and EPs with the likes of Tha God Fahim, Your Old Droog, and other associates. More polished and cohesive than H.B.O. by miles, this album, stepped up his lyrical ability and his pen game to the utmost we had heard from him at this time over arguably the best production of his career. Cuts like "Mackrel Jaxon", "Kriminal", and "The Stellar Ray Theory" are simply excellent and this Haitian-born emcee catapulted his acclaimed status even more so that stands among the elite of Griselda albums. Let's hope we get even more projects from Hommy and Griselda down the road if this is any indication of their reunited partnership will become.
9. Westside Gunn
Supreme Blientele
Production: Daringer, The Alchemist, Sahdugold, Pete Rock, 9th Wonder, Harry Fraud, Statik Selektah, Roc Marciano
Guests: Benny The Butcher, Busta Rhymes, Anderson.Paak, CRIMEAPPLE, Conway The Machine, Jadakiss, Roc Marciano, Elzhi
After the underground success of FLYGOD, Gunn was back with his second full length album, Supreme Blientele (aka Chris Benoit, aka God Is The Greatest). Taking the positives than FLYGOD and expanding them even more, this is a tour de force of an album. Although a bit more accessible than FLYGOD, don't confuse that term with anything less gutter because cuts like "Spanish Jesus", "Sabu", and the sinister "Brossface Brippler" are evidenced that WSG not only has one of the best ears for beats in all of hip-hop, but his drug-laced, street narratives are among the best out here. Among the single best albums in his own discography, the "Flygod" delivered a jackhammer of an album that brought even more attention to a label on the cusp of locking the underground in a chokehold.
8. Westside Gunn
10
Production: Daringer, The Alchemist, Conductor Williams, RZA, Pete Rock, Denny LeFlare, Swizz Beats, Flygod Jr., others
Guests: Benny The Butcher, Conway The Machine, Keisha Plum, Rome Streetz, Armani Caeser, Jay Worthy, Busta Rhymes, Raekwon, Ghostface Killah, Run The Jewels, Black Star, A$AP Rocky, others
A decade ago, Westside Gunn established his Hitler Wears Hermes mixtape series to large amounts of critical acclaim. It can be argued to this day as to which one was the very best of them all, but many are stating universally that the last chapter in the series is the best one in Ten. Never one to compromise his style or his taste, Gunn unloads with some of the best cuts of his career with some bits of accessibility more than most of the other Hermes series, especially the tremendous posse cut "Science Class" with Busta Rhymes, Raekwon, and Ghostface Killah over an atypical yet very dope beat from Swizz Beats. For those missing that mid-late nineties hard nosed NYC grimy hip-hop, Gunn has always been your go-to, but this close off album deserves its flowers, officially closing the door on one of the game's most gritty mixtape series and up there among the best efforts in 2022.
7. Benny The Butcher
Tana Talk 4
Production: Daringer, The Alchemist
Guests: Westside Gunn, Conway The Machine, Boldy James, Stove God Cook$, 38 Spesh, Diddy, J. Cole
Critics and the streets alike have stated Tana Tana 3 was not only Benny's coming out party, but perhaps the best album to get delivered from the Griselda camp (stay tuned). While follow-up albums such as The Plugs I Met, Burden Of Proof, and The Plugs I Met 2 were all heavy hitters, the heads were fiending for the fourth installment of the Tana Talk series. In 2022, The Butcher arrived with Tana Talk 4, and it definitely met expectations. Although a tad more accessible than TT3, it's not quite as accessible as Burden Of Proof, with Daringer and "Uncle Al" back on the boards to provide crazy instrumentals for the Butcher to handle his business. His first single with J. Cole, "Johnny P's Caddy" was a precursor of what was to come. He even dared to touch Biggie's immortalized "Ten Crack Commandments" with an unofficial sequel, "Ten More Crack Commandments" with Diddy of all people providing closing adlibs. This effort continues to support Benny's claim to being among the best in the game, and with him being officially signed under Def Jam Records for his Def Jam debut in 2023, we ,may be looking at the next superstar of NYC hip-hop hands down.
6. Rome Streetz
Kiss The Ring
Production: Daringer, Beat Butcha, The Alchemist, Camouflage Monk, Conductor Williams, Denny LeFlare, Sovren, Sahdugold
Guests: Westside Gunn, Conway The Machine, Benny The Butcher, Boldy James, Armani Caeser, Stove God Cook$
Brooklyn's Rome Streetz has a bubble in the underground for some years now. Efforts such as his Noise Candy series, Streetz Keep Calling Me, and his collaborative efforts with the likes of DJ Muggs (Death & The Magician), Futurewave (Razor'z Edge), and Ransom (Coup De Grace) all made heads take notice to this emcee. Officially part of the Griselda camp now, he dropped his much anticipated Griselda debut, Kiss The Ring, in 2022 and good grief what a debut effort it was. Among the most impressive debuts to emerge from Griselda, Streetz sounds hungrier than on any other previous effort before on this album. Over hammer hitting, chilling production from the likes of The Heartbreakers (Camouflage Monk, Conductor Williams, and Denny LeFlare), Daringer, The Alchemist, and Sahdugold, Streetz has finally constructed his magnum opus and with a supposed follow up with Conductor Williams ready to drop at any moment, Streetz future has never looked brighter.
5. Westside Gunn
FLYGOD
Production: Daringer, The Alchemist, Roc Marciano, Camouflage Monk, Green Lantern, Apollo Brown, Statik Selektah, Tha God Fahim
Guests: Conway The Machine, Benny The Butcher, Roc Marciano, Skyzoo, Action Bronson, Mach-Hommy, Your Old Droog, Meyhem Lauren, Danny Brown
Arguably seen as the album that truly start4ed the movement, Gunn's official debut solo offering, FLYGOD, marked a new resurgence in the underground capitalizing off the momentum the likes of Roc Marciano established. This album screams of that old tried and true ruggedness of NYC hip-hop and has enough dynamite to cause explosion to the speakers. We get formally introduced to Benny, Conway, Hommy, and Elcamino, while other guests such as Danny Brown, Action Bronson, Roc Marciano, and Skyzoo show up to provide further power to this uppercut of an album. While subsequent efforts such as Who Made The Sunshine, Supreme Blientele, Pray For Paris, and 10 further cemented Gunn's place among the official gun runners of underground hip-hop, FLYGOD was the one showed the masses Griselda was about to be the official problem for the rap game, and they haven't let up yet.
4. Griselda
WWCD
Production: Daringer, Beat Butcha
Guests: 50 Cent, Eminem, Raekwon, Novel
When it was announced that Griselda had inked a deal with Eminem's Shady Records, the streets had a mixed reaction. While many reveled in news of a more mainstream spotlight on their brand of dirty, gritty noir NYC hip-hop, others scoffed at it thinking it would water their sound down. With WWCD (What Would Chinegun Do), the latter thought is completely eliminated with Gunn, Conway, and Benny delivering a group album the likes of which we haven't heard as raw and grimy as this since the days of early Wu-Tang or Mobb Deep. With just in-house beatmakers Daringer and Beat Butcha at the helm, this album requires a bulletproof vest to absorb fully, as this effort is dirt under the finger nails rough. Even with appearances by Em and 50 Cent, this album never wavers in the Griselda sound, and we are all the more thankful for it. A undeniable staple and benchmark with the crew/label, WWCD solidified them as the ones to squeeze the rap game into submission.
3. Westside Gunn
Hitler Wears Hermes IX
Production: Daringer, The Alchemist, Denny LeFlare, Sahdugold, Conductor Williams, Jay Versace, Camouflage Monk, Beat Butcha, Madlib, Green Lantern, Nicholas Craven, JR Swiftz, others
Guests: Benny The Butcher, Conway The Machine, Jay Electronica, Rome Streetz, Tyler The Creator, 2 Chainz, Armani Caeser, Black Soprano Family, Jay Worthy, Larry June, TF, Mach-Hommy, AZ, Stove God Cook$, Blllie Esco, Flee Lord
Originally pressed as Hitler Wears Hermes VIII: Side B, Gunn later revealed that this was, in all actuality, Hermes IX. In either case, this entry with the HWH series is perhaps the craziest one of them all. Packed with appearances and incredible production, Gunn curated an album guns, butter, style, and coke sells in a fashion that's starting to be damn near owned by him. This is a non-stop tour de force from beginning to end, with cuts like the raw as fuck, "Eddie Kingston," to the hypnotic sounds of the Tyler The Creator-assisted, "The Fly That Won't Fly Straight", this is an effort that had Gunn among the most in-demand rappers in the game and the result was definitely a street classic.
2. Conway The Machine
God Don't Make Mistakes
Production: Daringer, Beat Butcha, The Alchemist, Hit-Boy, J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League, Bink!, others
Guests: T.I., Novel, Westside Gunn, Benny The Butcher, Lil Wayne, Rick Ross, Beanie Sigel, Jill Scott, Lxvedagenius, Jae Skeeze, others
We have all been waiting on that ONE true album from Conway. That ONE album that would officially separate him from the pack and make him a superstar among his peers. That ONE album would be a game changer for him. We now have that album with God Don't Make Mistakes. His previous efforts of Look What I've Become and From King To A God were virtual previews of what to expect, and while they were some of his best stuff, GDMM is truly his career defining album. His first (and apparently only) with Shady Records, Conway peels the curtain back with his most vulnerable and personal work to date. From the depressing "Stress" to the grim autobiographical title track, and the confessional "Guilty", Conway makes his song cry in some of the personal bars he has spit since his now legendary verse on Gunn's "The Cow" from Hitler Wears Hermes 4. However, he still brings the heavy hitters with gutter cuts like the Alchemist-laced "Piano Love", "John Woo Flick", and "Drumwork". This is without question his magnum opus and arguably the best album to come from the camp and it'll be hard to outdo this massively great album from him.
1. Benny The Butcher
Tana Talk 3
Production: Daringer, The Alchemist
Guests: Westside Gunn, Conway The Machine, Meyhem Lauren
Buzzing heavily with his guest appearances on cuts from his labelmates, as well as collaborative album with 38 Spesh, Stabbed & Shot, and his mixtape, Butcher On Steroids, the streets were emphatically waiting on his full-length debut, and to say it delivered would be a huge understatement. His album, Tana Talk 3, which is the continuation of his Tana Talk series, is a legit knockout of an album. Only handled production-wise by Daringer and Alan The Chemist, this is Benny possibly at his best, which is saying something considering how crazy his bars were on aforementioned TT4. His gritty street narratives and tales of hustling and revenge are as vivid and poignant as anything you'll hear in rap today. The aesthetics of this album have drawn comparisons to Reasonable Doubt, which is a huge accolade considering it's the album that launched Jay-Z into our consciousness with one of the best street-hustler albums of all time. This album, with cuts like "Scarface vs. Sosa Pt. 2", "Broken Bottles", "Fast Eddie", and "Joe Pesci 38" are packed with crime-laced imagery that would make the likes of Jay, Prodigy, and Biggie all proud. Simply put, Tana Talk 3 is likely the new Reasonable Doubt of our generation and its curator, Benny, just may be the new king of the NY streets just from this effort. An undisputed classic, TT3 sits among the threshold of modern greatness so be warned, as he would say, "THE BUTCHER COMING N**GA!"

As 2022 comes to a hellacious close, we can likely look forward to yet another Griselda takeover with releases like Benny's Def Jam debut, Conway's Won't He Do It, Gunn's MICHELLE RECORDS, Stove God Cook$' debut, Boldy James, Rome Streetz/Conductor Williams, YNBilly/DJ Drama, and others. Whether you like it or not, Griselda holds the throne in the streets and continuing to impact mainstream culture year to year. There's no stopping this Griselda train and it'll be an unstoppable force for the foreseeable future.
