Westside Gunn

Alvin Lamar Worthy (born July 27, 1982), known professionally as Westside Gunn, is an American rapper, executive producer, and fashion designer, best known as the head and co-founder of independent hip-hop label Griselda Records. He founded the label with his paternal half-brother rapper Conway the Machine and frequently collaborates with him alongside his cousin and fellow rapper Benny the Butcher. Gunn is recognized as one of the faces of the underground 2010s grimey boom bap resurgence with his juxtaposition of vivid drug-ridden street narratives and luxurious, artisic sample based production.

He has released five studio albums in addition to an extensive catalog of mixtapes and EPs spanning back to 2005. His work with other rappers includes Tyler The Creator, Joey Badass, Travis Scott, Freddie Gibbs, Wale, JID, Denzel Curry, and Rick Ross among others and frequent collaborations with other members of the underground scene such as Stove God Cooks, Armani Caesar, Rome Streetz, Boldy James, Estee Nack, Daringer, The Alchemist, Conductor Williams, Camoflauge Monk, and Denny Laflare. Gunn was affiliated with Shady Records from 2017 to 2020, but has since returned to independent status. Provided by Wikipedia
