Who Made the Sunshine (stylized in all caps) is the fourth studio album by American rapper Westside Gunn. When it was originally scheduled to be released on August 28, 2020, it was postponed due to the death of Griselda producer DJ Shay of COVID-19. It was released on October 2, 2020, through Griselda, Interscope and Shady Records, and is Westside Gunn's only release under Shady Records.
Who Made the Sunshine was met with generally positive reviews from critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream publications, the album received an average score of 76 based on five reviews.[1]
Chase McMullen of Beats Per Minute rated the album a 77%, saying "Who Made The Sunshine’s already underrated duality: it’s both grand introduction and complacent victory lap; both urgent and laid back, all at once, constantly".[7] A Clash reviewer rated it a 7/10, saying "Who Made The Sunshine feels like a fresh slate for the Buffalo artist. [...] it contains some of his best work".[8] Jayson Buford of Consequence rated it a B, saying "when the beats sound this good and the bars are cold like ashy knuckles, there's nothing to wait on".[9] Riley Wallace of HipHopDX rated it a 4/5, saying "Who Made the Sunshine is a solid offering, even if not Gunn’s most wholly compelling body of work".[10] Alphonse Pierre of Pitchfork rated it a 6.7/10, saying "Who Made the Sunshine falls somewhere in the middle, and doesn’t feel like it was devised to be anything more than what it is: another step toward the expansion of the Griselda Records brand".[11]
