Westside Gunn

Westside Gunn lands in London on 12 June 2026 at O2 Forum Kentish Town, emcee and curator of the Griselda movement he built with Conway the Machine and Benny the Butcher. From Buffalo’s underground to the wider East Coast map, he’s pushed a raw, sample‑led rap language: sparse soul and jazz loops, head‑nod drums, a clipped flow and those high‑pitched ad‑libs, with lyrics that stitch together street narratives, luxury fashion, contemporary art and wrestling references.

The long-running Hitler Wears Hermes tapes laid the groundwork, then came a run of albums that fixed his universe: Flygod, Supreme Blientele, Pray for Paris, Who Made the Sunshine, 10 and And Then You Pray for Me. On stage, that catalog moves between solo cuts and crew energy, often steered by producers like Daringer, The Alchemist or Madlib, whose textures match his ear for detail and curation.

Expect a set built on grainy loops and precise cadence, where the bars do the heavy lifting and the beats leave space for them to breathe — a live snapshot of the sound that carried Buffalo from a local scene to a reference point in today’s underground.
