Griselda, by Fashion Rebels by travelful

(Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom)

This chart will feature everything related to Westside Gunn, Conway The Machine, & Benny The Butcher. I will also include any work released under Griselda Records, which will include rappers not necessarily apart of the Griselda rap trio, nor signed with the label today.

Every artist is from Buffalo, NY unless specified otherwise.

In 2018 Conway dropped 'Untitled Drums'. A 10 minute EP with Imported Goodz that's not eligible to be added to the database. It's one track split into six different parts and features Westside Gunn as well. It's a hell of a track I recommend Griselda fans check it out on Bandcamp.

Newark, NJ
Produced by August Fanon, Camoflauge​ Monk, Knxwledge, Roc Marciano, Daringer, & Xavier Alexander

HBO is Mach-Hommy's second project under Griselda Records (the other being 'Don't Get Scared Now'), and his only solo album released with the label. Mach-Hommy had quietly been arguably the most talented member on Griselda Records while he was apart of it. However, up until this release we were lucky to even get a feature from him. HBO is the next "big" Griselda release after Westside Gunn's 'FLYGOD' album earlier in the year. Similar to 'FLYGOD', Mach-Hommy has a larger list of producers for this project, totaling six. However, out of the 18 tracks, August Fanon (A fresh name producing for Griselda at this time) produces 11 of them. Mach-Hommy is the most out-of-place rapper with Griselda as he doesn't rap about gangsta stories and his Boom Bap beats aren't always grimy and dark. He is taking the Griselda sound in a much more abstract and "artsy" lane with this release. Lyrically, Mach-Hommy's pen is up there with the best in the game and he displays his talent on this project. His lyrics cannot be found anywhere online and he will have them removed if they're posted anywhere, so you will have to listen for yourself to decipher them. Overall this is the best Griselda release to date and one of the best albums of 2016. A must listen.

Mach-Hommy's artistic direction ultimately led to his departure from Griselda Records shortly after this project. From what I understand him and Westside Gunn had differing opinions artistically and it led to some sort of beef between the two. This was recently assumed to be squashed and at the time of writing this its been rumored WSG and Mach have been making music together.

Favorite tracks: Bey Six, Tunnel Vision, Plenty, Michele Ma Belle, Band Anna, Thank God, Kapeesh, Bloody Penthouse

The long awaiting Shady Records debut from Conway is here, and it is his best project to date. This album has everything you could want from a Conway project. We get a good mix of bangers that bump in the whip, grimy boom bap classic Griselda, and Conway at his most lyrical. The album provides a good mix of features including the usuals Benny The Butcher, Westside Gunn, and Kiesha Plum. Other features include Beanie Sigel, Lil Wayne, Rick Ross, 7xvethegenius, Jae Skeese, T.I., Novel, & Jill Scott. The project shows Conway as his most vulnerable and introspective discussing topics such as depression, anxiety, alcoholism/drug addiction, and losing loved ones. Make no mistake however, the album does not lose its grit and still provides plenty of heavy hitting grimy tracks that Grisleda fans crave. The entire project is fantastic but the second half in particular is flawless, and boasts the best 6 track stretch of Conway's career. Tracks like 'Guilty', 'Stressed', and 'So Much More' are some his best lyrical tracks. 'John Woo Flick' features WSG and Benny and everybody come through for a classic Griselda banger. There's a couple chipmunk soul tracks on here that work perfectly as well. Conway closes out the album with a tearjerking self titled track featuring his mother.

Overall I think this is Conway's best album and a must listen for any hip-hop fan. I couldn't be happier with this release and it might just be the best album Griselda trio has put out.

Favorite tracks: God Don't Make Mistakes, Stressed, John Woo Flick, So Much More, Guilty, Chanel Pearls, Babas, Tear Gas

Produced by Daringer

One of Griselda's earliest releases, Reject 2 still holds up as one of the best amongst any member. Conway had been rapping for years but in 2012 Westside Gunn (Conway's brother) decided to manage Conway's rap career and Griselda Records was born. Reject 2 is essentially Conway's breakthrough solo release (I'd argue Griselda Ghost as a "breakthrough" release as well for WSG and Conway) after taking a few years off as a result of getting shot in the neck in 2012. Conway is mean as hell on this record and his pen is proved to be among the upper echelon of East Coast rappers. The unforgivably, dare I say old school, New York style is a welcome addition to a more artsy modernized NY scene. The features are all cold as hell and you really couldn't ask for a better line-up. You get multiple Westside Gunn features, which in this era of the brothers careers they were an unbeatable duo on nearly every track they did together. Benny the Butcher (their cousin) also makes an appearance with an excellent verse. A Mach-Hommy verse is something I wish would happen more at the time of writing this, because he was arguably the most talented member on the label when he was apart of it. Daringer is the in-house producer for the group and provides Boom Bap style beats to piece together what is an excellent mixtape and a classic Griselda release. This is the project to start with for Conway The Machine, and a reasonable place to start with Griselda in general although I'd point you back to Griselda Ghost which released just a month prior.

"This for them n***** that play with the razors in the pen (my n*****)
My bars sharp, I write with razors in my pen (woooo)
My little bro will put the gauge up to your chin
He gon' wait till I say when, but his patience's running thin
Look, I am the illest, I am the realest
I ain't a rapper, I am a killer, I am a menace
Listen
I have completed what you're trying to finish
I'm aiming at your cap, trying to peel it
It's the Machine, bitch!"

Produced by Daringer & The Alchemist

Benny closes out his eventful 2018 with his most critically acclaimed release at the time. The album is produced exclusively by arguably the best two producers Griselda has worked with, Daringer & The Alchemist. Together they craft a lush and atmospheric collection of boom bap beats, among the very best Griselda has rapped over. Benny sounds as hungry as ever constantly spitting long verses full of nasty bars that always impress. Benny gets some usual faces as features including Westside Gunn, Conway, Keisha Plum, & Meyhem Lauren. Maybe the best track on the album though is 'Who Are You?' featuring Royce Da 5'9 & Melanie Rutherford. The features all deliver but Benny as usual shines on every track and never let his features steal the track from him. Overall this is some of the best east coast hip-hop being made today that most hip-hop heads should be able to appreciate. This album proves Benny (and Griselda) is a force to be reckoned with in the rap game as he makes his claim for the crown of modern New York. This album is just absolutely incredible and among the best of the decade. An instant Griselda classic and a must hear for any hip-hop head. This isn't a bad starting point for Griselda (it probably was for many) but I'd still highly recommend going back to discover the iconic earlier releases like Griselda Ghost or Reject 2.

"In this game, you take some losses, I was straight, I ate with bosses
On my plate, that yay was flawless, we out in Vegas racing Porsches"

"This for my day one fans, n****s that been listenin'
Who know these rappers not better or as consistent
And when they talk about the streets, it ain't that specific
So I'm a tad suspicious, if it's fact or fiction
Uh, you ain’t in the streets weighin' slabs and fishes
N****, you just another rapper tryna have the image
But don't want the scabs and stitches, shit, that come with it
And if you ask me, that's backwards, n****, uh
I seen too many real n****s fall to let you bitch n****s beat me
But still I make this shit look easy"

"Yo, sometimes a n**** feel like y’all deaf
I put my life in these songs and still feel like y’all slept
Every word I spoke in the booth, y’all know it’s the truth
It’s Benny, I’m firm as a soldier boots, spill my pain all over these loops"

Favorite tracks: Goodnight, '97 Hov, Joe Pesci 38, Who Are You?, Langfield

Produced by The Alchemist, Audio Anthem, Beat Butcha, Conway the Machine, Daringer, DJ Premier, Erick Sermon, G. Ry, Havoc, Hit-Boy, Khrysis, Murda Beatz, Rockwilder & Signalflow Music

Following up his short reunion EP with Big Ghost earlier in the year, Conway releases his official debut record 'From King To A GOD'. The record is a prelude to upcoming album 'God Don’t Make Mistakes' which is scheduled to release in 2021. Similar to WSG's 'Pray For Paris', this record is Conway's first conscious step into incorporating more mainstream sounds into his music. His raps are still braggadocious and aggressive but his production choices and hooks aren't always what you would get on some of the more raw and dark Griselda albums. The entire album isn't like that though, it still sounds very much "Conway" and there's plenty of dark boom bap beats. The production is mainly handled by some regular faces such as Alchemist, Daringer, and Beat Butcha however there is some new faces as well such as Hit-Boy, Rockwilder, and Preemo as well. The feature list is absolutely stacked on here and includes Dej Loaf, Method Man, Havoc, Lloyd Banks, Flee Lord, Armani Caesar, Freddie Gibbs, Elcamino, and of course Westside Gunn and Benny. This could be Conway's best produced project to date and gets me excited for his Shady Records debut. The album is also littered with paying respects to DJ Shay, a regular Griselda producer over the years who passed away due to Covid in August 2020. Overall this is a must listen for any hip-hop head, and will go down as a Griselda classic for sure. I think this has a strong case for Conway's best project so go check this out asap.

"I just seen a video on the news I couldn't believe
Another racist c*p kill a n**** and get to leave (Again?)
He screamin', "I can't breathe", c*p ignorin' all his pleas
Hands in his pocket, leanin' on his neck with his knees
Cracker invent the laws, that's why the system is flawed
C*ps killin' black people on camera and don't get charged
We ain't takin' no more, we ain't just pressin' record
Can't watch you kill my brother, you gon' have to kill us all"

"Rappin' better than n****s, I can barely pronounce shit"

Favorite tracks: Lemon, Juvenile Hall, Front Lines, Anza, Spurs 3, Forever Droppin' Tears,

Similar to Conway and WSG, Benny had been rapping for years before joining Griselda. He actually used to take more of a trap approach in his music under the name "B.E.N.N.Y.". I've been including releases dating back to Griselda's foundation in 2012 in this chart, and Benny had been releasing material during that time. He released two mixtapes 'Benny Best Ever' and 'Black Soprano Family', along with an album '1 on a 1'. However, this will be Benny's debut Griselda album so we will start here in his discography. Production wise I don't think it's known who produced all of the tracks, but we do have track credits for the majority of them. The production on this project is quite excellent as well. The majority of the album is jazzy boom bap beats with the occasional trapping rhythm or soulful sample. Benny is arguably the best spitter on Griselda and his performance on this album is great. Benny dabbles in more conscious hip-hop topics occasionally but lyrically it's the gangsta rap you'd expect from Griselda. Feature wise Benny brings in a solid group. WSG and Conway join in on 'Tom Ford' Socks for a fantastic Griselda trio cut. Bentlee sings a beautiful hook 'My Struggle' and Lo Pro & Rick Hyde compliment Benny nicely over a dark trap beat. Overall this is an excellent Griselda debut for Benny, and right up among the best Griselda releases. A classic Griselda project. This is a must listen for everyone interested Griselda.

Favorite tracks: My Struggle, Tom Ford Socks, Dirty Needles, Bible On The Coffee Table, Prayer Hands

Produced by Daringer & The Alchemist

Before closing out 2017 Conway releases his third solo mixtape, his first since signing with Shady Records. It's produced almost entirely by Daringer and features an excellent guest lineup including features from Raekwon, Benny, Prodigy, Royce Da 5'9, Styles P, & Lloyd Banks. G.O.A.T stands for "Grimiest Of All Time" and it certainly lives up to that "grimy" claim. This is one of Conway's best projects and joins Bennys 'Butcher On Steroids' mixtape, released just a weeks prior, as among the very best hip-hop of 2017. Conway is as gritty as ever on here and Daringer's haunting production is among the best collection of beats I've heard from him. Overall this is another incredible Griselda classic. The features bring their game, the beats are dark, grimy, and compliment everyone, and Conway is rapping as good as ever. Give this a listen asap.

Favorite tracks: Trump, Th3rd F, Die On Xmas, Rodney Little, Bishop Shot Steel, Mandatory, Bullet Klub

Side B to Westside's eighth addition to his ongoing 'Hitler Wears Hermes" series. Side A was released a month prior and saw a return to grimy east coast gangsta rap after a bit more artsy of a 2020 for Griselda. This album has been hinted by Westside Gunn that it may be his last solo project. He has expressed in the past that his true passion lies in managing the label. However even if this is his last solo project, I suspect we will still hear some verses occasionally on other Griselda projects. I will say WSG has shown a ton of artistic growth over the years, and it would be sad if this truly is his last project.

Whereas Side A was produced by only Camoflauge Monk, Conductor Williams & Denny Laflare (The Heartbreakers), Side B boasts a massive producer list. Some additional highlights outside The Heartbreakers include The Alchemist, Daringer, Green Lantern, Jay Versace, and Madlib. Similar to Side A, there are features on just about every track. The features include 2 Chainz, Armani Caesar, AZ, Benny, Billie Essco, A.A. Rashid, Chase Fetti, Conway, Flee Lord, Heem, Jay Electronica, Jay Worthy, Keisha Plum, Larry June, Mach-Hommy, Rome Streetz, Stove God Cooks, TF, Tiona Deniece, Trap-A-Holics & Tyler, The Creator.

Overall this is in the upper echelon of WSG releases, and Griselda as a whole. If this truly is his last project, he went out with a bang. Although Side A doesn't compare to the best of WSG's output, Side B does. The features all deliver, and the production is amongst the best I've heard in hip-hop on the year. Griselda fans this is a must listen.

Produced by Daringer, The Alchemist, DJ Shay, & Beat Butcha

After an eventful 2018 in which Benny closed out with his acclaimed album Tana Talk 3, Benny returns with a short 25 minute EP. This release once again received a ton of buzz and it's easy to see why. Not only is Griselda blowing up in the underground at this point (and leaking into the mainstream) but Benny is able to get some huge features on this project most notably Black Thought and Pusha T. Jadakiss, 38 Spesh, Conway, & RJ Payne also make an appearance on the project. Perhaps the most impressive part of this EP is just how well Benny can compliment a couple of the greatest rappers of all time and even holds his own on 'Crowns For Kings' where Black Thought delivers arguably the best verse of 2019. 'Crowns For Kings' is one of the best Griselda tracks ever made and I don't foresee that changing. The production is dark and sinister, handled by three reliable artists in the Griselda circle with Daringer, The Alchemist, & DJ Shay. Overall this is a must hear project for any hip-hop head and one of the best projects of 2019. Benny is once again at the top of his game and out to prove he's one of the elites in the coke rap game.

"Yo, I got the green light from OGs that fathered the era
But what I did with a pot gon' make it hard to compare us
I wash the blood off the money that my daughters inherit
And kept the barrel so hot that it fog up the mirrors"

Favorite tracks: Crowns For Kings, 18 Wheeler, 5 To 50
