Westside Gunn
Alvin Lamar Worthy (born July 27, 1982), known professionally as Westside Gunn, is an American rapper and fashion designer. He co-founded the hip-hop record label Griselda Records in 2012 with his half-brother Conway the Machine and their cousin Benny the Butcher.
Since 2005, he has released five studio albums, in addition to a wide catalog of mixtapes and extended plays. Gunn was affiliated with Shady Records from 2017 to 2020, but has since returned to independent work.
Gunn was born on July 27, 1982, in the impoverished East Side, Buffalo, New York. His parental half-brother is Conway the Machine and his younger cousin is Benny the Butcher; both would go on to join him in hip-hop. He moved frequently during his childhood, including to the richer west end of Buffalo. He showed interest in fashion as a child and, according to his marketer, Derrick Jackson, wore gold chains in elementary school. He also created comic books with his friends while in elementary.
Gunn's first project was his previously unreleased 2005 mixtape Flyest Nig@@ In Charge. It only hit streaming in 2020 though. Its cover on streaming is an oil painting of the original 2005 cover.
Other than that unreleased mixtape, Gunn did not release his own music until 2012, instead managing Conway the Machine. In 2012, when Conway was involved in a shooting which disfigured his face, Gunn began releasing music, beginning with the EP Hitler Wears Hermes. A play on The Devil Wears Prada, it spawned a mixtape series noted for its controversy over its reference to Adolf Hitler.
In 2014, Gunn co-founded the Griselda Records record label with Conway the Machine and Mach-Hommy. His official studio album debut was Flygod, released on March 11, 2016.
In 2015, Gunn and Conway formed the superduo Hall & Nash. Together, they released the EP Griselda Ghost on September 11, 2015, which was fully produced by Big Ghost.
In 2016, they recorded Hall & Nash 2 and scheduled a 2017 release date, which never occurred due to their signing with Shady Records. On December 29, 2023, following a surprise announcement from The Alchemist – its producer – on December 25, it released on streaming services.
