Westside Gunn has given a nod to Boston rapper BoriRock on his latest project. In a recent post, the Griselda Records co-founder highlighted BoriRock with the caption:
“ON DAWGS LIKE BORI ROCK” – @WESTSIDEGUNN
He followed it with another line: “It’s really you 🐶💤 @TeflonHoot.”
The reference comes as part of Gunn’s rollout for the new album, where he continues blending his sound with acknowledgments of regional voices across the country. BoriRock, a staple in Boston’s rap scene, has built recognition through his work and consistent collaborations that reflect the city’s underground movement.
By bringing BoriRock into the conversation, Gunn extends his ongoing practice of spotlighting independent artists and local scenes beyond New York. The shoutout also points to the influence of Boston’s growing hip-hop community and its ties to broader East Coast rap networks.
