Westside Gunn returns with his new track, "Bubba Chuck."

Westside Gunn and the Griselda camp have been working heavily over the past few years, ultimately leading Westside and Conway to become the first rappers from Buffalo to land a major label deal. While they're under Eminem's Shady Records, they've still been grinding like independent artists. They've been dropping a ton of music recently. Yesterday, Westside Gunn released a song to pay homage to Karl Lagerfeld who passed away earlier this week. Today, he pays tribute to a legendary 76ers player with his new drop.

Westside Gunn channels Allen Iverson as he returns with his second drop of the week, "Bubba Chuck." His new track was produced by DJ Shay who delivers a hazy, sample-based beat for the Westside to deliver his smooth, mafioso flow over. It's another dope record from Westside Gunn who, alongside Benny, was invited to J. Cole's Dreamville Sessions in Atlanta for ROTD3.

Quotable Lyrics
Banana clip out the mac 10, my n***a scoreboard
Floor seats, watchin' Lebron, I left the fourth quarter
Johnny Day net, spent a quarter on water
