    The alternate reality that people who only listen to Eminem live in is baffling.

    This is extremely untrue lol. They built all that buzz themselves and if Shady didn't sign them someone else would have.

    This the best griselda project since from king to a god imo
    What a load of crap. Griselda were making waves long before shady. If it wasn't shady some other major label was going to sign them. Anyway People who follow shady are just pseudo-rap fans who think Em, D12 and Royce are the only rappers in existence.

    Conway easily the best in the group. If Westside didn’t have that high pitched voice I’d f--- with him so much more cos some of his lyrics are gold but it’s just one of them things that I can’t stand. Benny isn’t as interesting as the other two.

    About to spin this project.

    You can't got wrong with griselda projects tbh, they are very consistent.

    I would start with Griselda - WWCD. Thats a good starting point.

    Reject 2 is probably conways most celebrated project aAfter FKTAG.

    Conway and westside - Hall and Ash
    is a classic and pretty much where it all started

    GOAT, griselda ghost and Everybody is food mixtapes also go hard.

    Tana talk 3, plugs i met and burden of proof are probably top 3 benny projects.

    For westside gunn, Supreme blientel and fly God is an awesome God are more essential griselda projects that havnt been mentioned. Also all the Hitler wears hermes tapes.

    They have a massive discography between the three of them, I can't say I've listened to it all. But, I would highly recommend these essentials:

    Westside Gunn - FlyGod
    They'd been grinding in the underground for years but this was pretty much their breakout moment in 2016. Introduced them to a much larger audience and caught everyones attention. Still stands as Gunn's best project imo. Pray for Paris is also definitely worth a listen.

    Benny the Butcher - Tana Talk 3
    Everything Benny's dropped since this has been cool, but he hasn't got even close to the heights he achieved on this. I'd go as far as to call this a modern day classic. Elite-level rapping.

    Griselda - WWCD
    This is the only album that materialised out of the Shady partnership and thankfully besides the garbage Em verse has no other interference. All three of them just go back and forth non-stop, it took me back to early Wu-Tang days.

    FKTAG is by far Conway's best album I've heard - I know he's got a ton of great mixtapes but of the few that I've heard I really liked GOAT and Blakk Tape. Can't go wrong with either of those but @SKUX GOD will correct me if i'm wrong.

    Whats funny is this is pretty much a burner project to keep the fans happy since God Dont Make Mistakes got delayed again. Based off the snippets that album is really gona shake the game. He got Ross and Wayne on the same song.

    The amount of consistency & quality in their work is insane. Idk what's up with people calling them repetitive. Why fix something that is working? And they're still expanding their art nonetheless.
    Westside Gunn, a boom bapper is out here working with Travis and Playboi Carti.
    A top-tier lyricist like Benny is making music with Drake & using top-tier beats with different vibes.
    Conway is pretty versatile too.

    I don't see any problem. They're reviving the oldest genre of hip hop & are cool with the newer generation as well (unlike Eminem).
    Literally everything how a new age boom bap artist should be. Open minded, skilled, with an eye for beats and features.

    Go to this website named Producto Illicito if you wanna download. They got all Conway projects & albums of other underground names too.
    Or else, listen to Reject 2, The Blakk Tape, Everybody is Food 1-3, Look What I Become, No One Mourns the Wicked, Lulu, From King To God, If It Bleeds It Can Be Killed & this new one on Spotify. Also it has a gigantic compilation of freestyles & loosies named 50 Round Drum.
    Datpiff also has his older tapes like GOAT, Reject on Steroids, More Steroids etc.

    He has a pretty lengthy catalogue but if you like his sound, he'll always be great for your ears.

    From Lulu with Alchemist till this one, this man has had one of the greatest runs in hip-hop. From King To God is anyways one of my favorite albums of all-time, his recent one with Big Ghost Ltd was nasty too, best thing to have dropped this year.
    However, this is closely the 2nd best album of the year. Such a great variety of flows, beats & subject matters. Also, once you pay attention to Conway's rhyming, this dude is a monster.
    Easily the best rapper out now. Can't wait for GDMM to conclude this godly run.

    GRISELDA IS THE GREATEST THING OUT NOW.
