Westside Gunn held a historic event that embraced his passion for music, culture and wrestling.
On Saturday night, November 2, the Griselda Records founder called on all his fans to invade the UIC Forum in Chicago for his "Heels Have Eyes 3" concert. The event featured performances from Rome Streetz, Daringer, Stove God Cooks, Dave East, Boldy James and more. During the show, Gunn brought out the legends DJ PREMIER and Pete Rock to go song-for-song on stage. The event also doubled as a launch event for his wrestling brand 4th Rope. Gunn hosted several matches with prominent TNA wrestlers like Knockout World Champion Jordynn Grace, Masha Slamovich, AJ Francis, Joe Hendry and more.

"4THROPE HEELS HAVE EYES 3 is not only the illest party like the first 2 at the Sold out TLA (PHILLY) & HOUSE OF BLUES (CLE) but THIS WILL FINALLY INTRODUCE 4THROPE as a WRESTLING promotion," Westside wrote in an Instagram post. "YES I will finally be curating my first WRESTLING EVENT along with the party and you already know how much this means to me, idc where u are in the world be in CHICAGO, this has NEVER BEEN DONE BEFORE, and literally this will be HISTORY!!!"
The event, which was presented by Covert Operations, Tucker Ventures and Saucony, went down shortly after Westside Gunn dropped two fresh projects. Still Praying contains 14 fresh tracks including collaborations with DJ Drama, Statik Selektah, Conway The Machine, Benny The Butcher, Conductor Williams and plenty more. Before he dropped the album last Friday, the Griselda Records founder also shared an EP called 11, which will hold five new songs produced by Denny Laflare.

This past weekend, #ProWrestling and #HipHop came together in perfect harmony. This show was unlike anything I’ve ever been a part of.
