It's Halloween which can only mean one thing and that's another edition to Westside Gunn's classic 'Hitler Wears Hermes' series!!! Though, technically, he stopped using the 'Hiter Wears Hermes' name on 'HWH 8: Side B' true fans of Westside Gunn know that '11' is part of the series!!! Gunn keeps the vibes flowing nicely on '11' with yet another dope project entirely produced by Denny Laflare and with Keisha Plum as the projects sole feature. The project also takes it back to the series origins with, the late, DJ Kay Slay's intro, from the first 'Hitler Wears Hermes', kick starting it and it only being 5 tracks!!! Adding to the fact Gunn's also dropping the prequel to the upcoming 'Flygod Is An Awesome God 3' project with 'Still Praying', that day after this release, and his upcoming 'Heels Have Eyes 3' event, with his 4th Rope promotion, its safe to say he's back on his bullsh...

Westside Gunn doesn't really need much of an introduction. Gunn has, singlehandedly, changed the landscape of the Hip-Hop culture through his, incredible, body of solo work ('FLYGOD', 'Supreme Blientele' and much, much more), his label Griselda Records and ventures into the art world. But for us the other thing that stands out about Gunn is his love for Pro Wrestling. If you're a fan of Gunn's discography (which you should be) you'll find wrestling references, from bars to song titles, throughout it. You can also find Gunn, usually alongside Smoke DZA who is another big time Pro Wrestling fan, front row at WWE, AEW and TNA Wrestling events. Over the years Gunn has been dropping merch (t-shirts, hoodies, art ect.) through his, Pro Wrestling based, '4th Rope' brand. It also appears that, at some point in the near future, Gunn will also start promoting wrestling events under the '4th Rope' banner which, ho...

Gustavo Louis is what R.A.W Culture is all about!!! Gustavo is a Hip-Hop artist, from Hempstead, New York, who spits raw bars over dusty soul loops and rocks Lucha Libre masks whilst doing it!!! Listening to Gustavo's track 'Uncle Jheri Curl' gave us the same feeling we got when we heard Westside Gunn, for the first time, on 'Mr. T'. Whilst rappers rhyming over soulful loops isn't something new there is something about the way Gustavo flows over them that makes him stand out from other artists that do it. If your a fan of the new wave of underground Hip-Hop and artists such as Westside Gunn, Roc Marciano, Knowledge The Pirate, Hus Kingpin and Mach-Hommy then Gustavo Louis is right up your street!!!
