The Sound of Buffalo Hip Hop

“The Sound of Buffalo Hip Hop” is a gritty, diverse slice of what’s coming out of upstate New York’s underground. Led by names like Conway the Machine, Benny The Butcher, and Westside Gunn, the playlist captures the no-frills storytelling, street-hardened bars, and dark, sample-heavy production that’ve made Buffalo a powerhouse in modern hip hop. Tracks like “Scatter Brain,” “Big Dog,” and “Fendi Seats” blend national collaborations with a distinctly regional energy, while artists like Jae Skeese, Che Noir, and Rick Hyde continue to sharpen the next wave of local talent.

Alongside Griselda affiliates and Black Soprano Family mainstays, the playlist also taps into Buffalo’s independent edge with contributions from artists like 14 trapdoors, Short Moscato, and A.I. The Anomaly. Whether it’s the lo-fi soul of “Everything We Dream” or the hard-nosed realism of “No SeatBelts,” this mix lays out a full scope of Buffalo’s sound—unfiltered, self-assured, and steadily evolving.
