In case you have been living under a rock the past few months, you may not have noticed the rise of Westside Gunn, his brother Conway, Benny, and the beat smith Daringer. All of whom encompass "GXFR" and continually release banger after banger of grimey, street, 90's sounding hardcore rap. I have been fortunate enough to connect with Westside through social media and being a loyal fan. I assume the feeling is mutual. My rendition of WSG and Conway on a bike was used for their first tour poster after signing with Shady Records, and we've shared ideas for future projects since. When West hit me up about a secret project involving everyone's favorite masked emcee DOOM; I was honored, astounded, amazed, speechless, you get the idea already! DOOM is one of my all time favorites and WSG is definitely making it on my list as well. I got the details and illustrated Westside in excitement with the mask on, broken and bloodied within a few hours. Sent it to the Buffalo native and the rest is history. This art I believe is the cover art for the "WESTSIDEDOOM" project. A collaborative album with Daringer and the Alchemist providing the production and DOOM and WSG with the nasty lyrics. I can not wait to hear more!
