Westside Gunn and Benny the Butcher Link With Jay-Z For New Deal

by Daryl Nelson

The Griselda camp just made a power move with Westside Gunn and Benny The Butcher inking a management deal with Jay-Z's Roc Nation.

Both Buffalo rappers shared the news on their Instagram pages on Wednesday.

"The New King Of NY!!!! We just some BUFFALO KIDS that had a dream I wanna introduce y’all to the new," wrote Westside Gunn next to a photo of himself with Benny and Jay.

"Roc Nation & Griselda it’s official," wrote Benny on his page. "Y’all kno what we bout to do right Roc Nation x GxFR x B$F."

The Griselda crew, which also includes the rap powerhouse Conway, inked a distribution deal with Eminem's Shady Records a few years ago after developing a nice size buzz for their gritty, lyrical, back to basics rap approach.

Do you think their style of music will blow up nationally or be mostly successful on the East Coast?
