Westside Gunn Rallies Conway, Benny The Butcher, & Armani Ceaser On “98 Sabres”

Westside Gunn has already delivered three albums this year — Pray For Paris, Flygod Is An Awesome God 2, and as of yesterday, his Shady Records debut Who Made The SunshineOff the top, the project sounds like a typical Gunn release, which is to say grimy, loosely structured tracks with hyper-vivid imagery of street violence and high fashion. As expected, Westside used the opportunity to call the Griselda banners and rally the troops, closing things out with the Just Blaze produced crew cut “98 Sabres.”

A reference to the NHL team — and by proxy the legendary goalie Dominik “The Dominator” Hasek — “98 Sabers” is enjoyable off the strength of Blaze’s involvement alone. Yet as expected, the Griselda camp delivers on the lyrical front, with highlight verses from Gunn, Conway, Benny, and Armani Caesar. Though it’s likely fans will debate who stole the show, it’s exactly that sort of healthy competition that keeps the emcees as sharp as they are. Check it out for yourself now, and sound off — do you feel like Westside Gunn delivered on his Shady Records debut?

QUOTABLE LYRICS

Trust me, I got the bread to get a ni*ga whacked today
They bring me back your head, don’t matter how much cash it take
We used to traffic base, now the trap forty racks a day
It’s safe to say we got a boomin’ system, I’m Masta Ace 
The shooter sixteen, throttle in his VLONE hoodie
N**ga look at me wrong, then he uppin’ this chrome for me

– Conway

Kieran James Honors Memory with “Part of the Grind”

Honk Magazine Filter

Singer-songwriter Kieran James delivers a devastating new single with “Part of the Grind,” a track to tackle the tangled emotions behind loss and memory. A love letter penned to a close friend who faced severe cognitive decline, the song’s emotional heft feels universal yet heartbreakingly personal.

Set to delicate instrumentation and achingly sung vocals, “Part of the Grind” is both a lament and an honoring, a means of remembering while addressing the unavoidable cost of time and illness. His voice floats, leaving room for silence and the long pauses that so often come with grief. But in that silence, there is warmth as well, a refusal to let memory be totally extinguished.

Resilience is also implied in the song’s title, a reminder that even in heartbreak, life goes on and holding the memory of someone stays with the rhythm of everyday living. it’s an anthem for anyone who has ever looked on witnessing decline, mixed sorrow with love.

In Kieran James’s “Part of the Grind,” we hear music as well as go behind it. He gives us room feel, to mourn, and to honor. In the process, he turns private pain into something achingly universal, a song for everyone who has either loved or lost.
