In 2016, he released his first commercial album, Flygod. On March 3, 2017, Griselda Records signed a deal with Eminem's Shady Records, a subsidiary of Interscope, making Westside Gunn and Conway the first rappers from Buffalo to sign with a major label.
Shortly after signing with Shady Records, Westside released Flygod Is Good... All the Time, as a collaborative EP with producer Mr. Green. Since signing with Eminem, Westside Gunn has collaborated with Busta Rhymes, Anderson .Paak, Jadakiss, Pete Rock, DJ Premier, The Alchemist, and MF Doom and has played at Coachella, Firefly and Governors Ball. Ambrosia For Heads named 2018's Supreme Blientele one of the best albums of 2018. He also signed with Roc Nation alongside label mate Benny the Butcher on August 6, 2019, under a management deal.
On April 17, 2020, he released his third studio album, Pray for Paris. The album has features from artists such as Tyler, the Creator, Joey Bada$$ and Freddie Gibbs. The album was well received by critics, with Pitchfork giving it an 8 out of 10. On July 3, 2020, Westside Gunn released his tenth mixtape Flygod Is an Awesome God 2, the sequel to his July 2019 mixtape Flygod Is an Awesome God. The album features guest appearances by Benny the Butcher, as well as frequent collaborators like Keisha Plum, Boldy James, and Daringer. On October 2, 2020, Westside released his Shady Records debut, Who Made the Sunshine. The album was originally scheduled for release on August 28, the second annual Westside Gunn Day — a day in Buffalo commemorated by the mayor in recognition of Gunn's efforts in his hometown. However, it was delayed, out of respect for the death of DJ Shay. The album includes the entire Griselda Records roster and was accompanied with a short documentary following Westside's life before being sent to prison.

Westside Gunn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ayo, I know some niggas only
Skate on Supreme shit
I know some niggas hit the
Dope with the remix
I know some niggas got two
Bodies and still a teenager
The resi off the razor
I know niggas from uptown and down the way
I know niggas got 8 balls of pure yay
I know niggas that'll rob
Your ass bare faced
I know niggas that's coming home
They wanna play
I know niggas that'll sniff a
Line and shoot up shit (Brr)
I know some niggas went upstate
And got cut quick
I know niggas that'll put money on your head
I know niggas that when they hear
The bounty then you dead
(Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom)
I know niggas showing fake love (Ah)
I know some niggas going
'round claiming fake Blood (Ah)
I know some niggas going
'round claiming fake Cuz
Can't nobody fuck with me i'm that one
Keep the MAC 10 for that fuckery (Brr)
Get you some
Wish Chine Gun could see me now (Ah)
Wish Bacon could see me now (Ah)
Can't nobody fuck with me i'm that one
Keep the MAC-10 for that fuckery (Brr)
Get you some wish Chine Gun could see me now
Wish Sly Green could see me now
Ayo, every color Lambo truck we parading
OG just came home from being caged in
Don't know what to do
Been locked up since Reagan
The Lord got a better plan for you
Be patient
Ma Dukes struggling, know I can't have that
Balenciaga, triple sole sitting on
The dad hat
Catch me in the bushes, cone head
Ski mask black (Ah)
Pootie need a new pair of Guccis
Where the stash at? Daydreaming in my cell
Vino had a body, did that nigga go to hell?
Killed another 30 with the sand on the scale
(Ah) loading up the 30
Shoot the niggas over there
(boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom
Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom)
Free my nigga DC, free my niggas
They gave his ass 33
Can't nobody fuck with me i'm that one
Keep the MAC 10 for that fuckery (Brr)
Get you some
Wish Chine Gun could see me now (Ah)
Wish Bacon could see me now (Ah)
Can't nobody fuck with me i'm that one
Keep the MAC 10 for that fuckery (Brr)
Get you some wish Chine Gun could see me now
Wish Sly Green could see me now
Smile, and I look at you, Benoit
As I stand here face to face
And you know what I see?
I see one of the damn best wrestlers
I've ever seen in my entire life
But there's some things, Chris Benoit
That I do not see when I
Look in those dead eyes
I do not see an ounce of remorse
I do not see compassion
And I sure as hell don't
See a sense of humour so, Chris Benoit
I think I speak for everybody when
I ask this one simple question
Why? Why, Chris? Why?
The lyrics to "Elizabeth" by Westside Gunn reflect the realities of street life and the criminal underworld. The verses portray a world where drug deals, gang activity, and violence are a way of life. The lyrics touch on topics such as drug use ("I know fiends that wanna lick the resi off the razor"), gang affiliation ("I know some niggas going 'round claiming fake Blood"), and murder ("I know niggas that'll put money on your head").
Furthermore, the chorus of the song reflects the idea that the singer is untouchable and that he carries a MAC-10 for protection. The repetition of the phrase "Can't nobody fuck with me" reinforces the message of his invincibility. The closing lines of the song, which are part of a monologue by Vince McMahon directed towards Chris Benoit, add a layer of complexity to the lyrics of the song.
Overall, "Elizabeth" is a powerful and intense song that portrays the gritty realities of the streets and reflects on the issues of violence and crime that continue to plague urban areas.

Still top 10 WSG. Beat and sample just too hard. His verses is meaningful, especially verse 2. Dope hook for a Griselda record. Such a feel good nostalgia joint
