The announcement of Westside and Benny’s Roc Nation deal continues a busy summer for the Buffalo-bred MCs. In June, Benny dropped a new EP titled The Plugs I Met. A few weeks later, Westside kicked off July by releasing a solo album titled Flygod Is An Awesome God.
The Griselda crew is also expected to deliver their official Shady Records debut later this year. Westside has said the project will be a group album.
Last month, fans got a taste of the Griselda and Shady connection when Conway The Machine dropped his single “Bang” featuring Eminem.
