BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) â Rapper and Buffalo native Westside Gunn is set to open a Buffalo Kids store at the Walden Galleria.
This will be the first brick and mortar location for Buffalo Kids, which has an assortment of Buffalo sports T-shirts, sweatshirts and jerseys. It will be on the lower level near Starbucks.
Buffalo Kids was founded by Gunn and other local rappers Conway the Machine (his brother) and Benny the Butcher (his cousin).
In 2014 Gunn founded Griselda Records and clothing brand Fashion Rebel. In 2017 Griselda Records signed a music deal with Eminem Shady Records, a subsidiary of Interscope, putting the Buffalo natives on the national hip-hop radar. In 2019 Gunn and Benny the Butcher signed a management deal with Jay-Z s Roc Nation.

Westside Gunn, the renowned rapper, label head, and famed native of Buffalo, New York, will open “the illest Boutique ART gallery my city has ever seen,” according to a post he made to Instagram earlier this week.
Buffalo Kids, as the business is known, will be “conveniently next to Starbucks and Footlocker” in the Walden Galleria Mall, he points out.
Westside Gunn is officially opening his own boutique art gallery, Buffalo Kids.
The flagship is located in Walden Galleria in his home city of Buffalo, New York, and will reportedly stock up on his Fashion Rebel brand and some unreleased collabs with the likes of Nike, plus a selection of original art pieces, magazine, children’s clothing and Westside Gunn-designed hats.
“This is one of the most exciting times of my life. Growing up in Buffalo, Walden Galleria has always been the premier shopping center. At age 14, I started designing clothing and I’ve always been taught the sky’s the limit,” the Griselda titan said. “I wanted to bring a lifestyle brand for the people and give them the highest quality garments at a high fashion designer level. I breathe art and this will give the city something to be proud of. I will do my best to provide experiences the town has never seen before. Thank you for supporting Griselda and now, I present to you, Buffalo Kids.”
