Griselda Records’ Debut Film ‘Conflicted’ Gets A Release Date

The long-awaited film will kick off what will likely be another prolific year for the unstoppable Buffalo label. …

Griselda Records’ debut feature film Conflicted, which they announced in June this year, now has an official release date. With theaters shut down due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the title will come to Pay Per View, January 15, 2021. The announcement also features expanded cast information, identifying roles for Benny The Butcher, who leads as Hunter — basically, he’s playing himself — as well as R&B singer J Holiday, veteran actor Michael Rapaport, and Griselda godfather Westside Gunn.

The Buffalo-based label also announced the film’s soundtrack release date, January 8. Naturally, it’ll feature the Griselda core: Benny The Butcher, Conway The Machine, and Westside Gunn, as well as new signees Armani Caesar and Boldy James. In addition, Dave East, Lloyd Banks, Ransom, and more will appear, with production coming from late Griselda mentor DJ Shay, their in-house beatmaker Daringer, 808 Mafia, and more. The lead track, Benny’s “3:30 In Houston” has already been made available; you can check that out below.

The announcement caps one of the busiest years for the burgeoning indie label — actually, for possibly any indie label anywhere — as each member of the crew dropped multiple projects, from Pray For Paris to The Liz to Burden Of Proof. The sheer volume of releases has established Griselda as one of the most prolific rap groups in a long time, but their consistency has won them an ever-loyal fanbase who will undoubtedly be pressing play when the label’s film Conflicted hits next year.

Check out the trailer for Conflicted above.

Michael Chagnon’s latest single, “The Way That You Move,” has the raw power of a late-night ignition and the charged atmosphere of a crowded, sweaty venue. The track starts with a guitar strike that sends it forward with nonstop energy, combining the intensity of garage rock with the urgency of pop dance. It is a track that not only wants to be heard, but also felt.

The track has a strong, catchy hook that makes it exciting. The rock-inspired instruments build to a strong energy, and the pulsing beat makes it easy to dance to, keeping your heart rate up. The story has a movie-like quality, like a high-stakes chase through brightly lit city streets where danger and desire meet in a noir-like setting. Every beat has a sense of urgency, and every riff has a purpose.

The best thing about “The Way That You Move” is how strong it is. There are no extras or unnecessary distractions, just real, pure rock energy delivered with confidence. The raw production adds to the song’s appeal, giving it a dynamic quality that works well in both small spaces and big crowds. This song is great in small spaces, where sound, movement, and emotion come together to form an unstoppable force.

Michael Chagnon describes movement not just as physical action, but also as an emotional force. The song is full of tension, release, and a steady rhythm that makes it impossible to be still. “The Way That You Move” is a powerful reminder of how rock can bring people together, energize them, and inspire them, whether it’s coming through speakers or echoing in a live venue. This is moving music that keeps going and going.
