The Griselda collective has proven to be masters of their domain. With laser sharp lyricism and a relentless work ethic, Westside Gunn, Benny The Butcher, Conway The Machine and their in-house producer Daringer rocked 2020 and are looking to carry that momentum into 2021.
On Tuesday (January 5), Westside, Wale and Smoke DZA teamed up for “The Hurt Business,” the second single from the soundtrack for Griselda Films’ first movie CONFLICTED. The sinister-sounding production provides the perfect backdrop for the talented trio to rap about their colorful street tales.
As Westside and Wale spit in the chorus, “Ayo, the flyest motherfuckers got the game on lock (Got the game on lock, ah)/Keep shootin’ it ’til it ain’t no shots (Brr, brr, ’til it ain’t no shots)/Allah, please forgive all my n-ggas in the box (All my n-ggas in the box)/When one come home, then another get knocked (Then another get knocked).”
The track follows “3:30 In Houston” from Benny The Butcher, his first solo release since he was shot in a Houston Walmart parking lot.
