Westside Gunn Announces Album Release Date, Promises ‘New Chapter’
Westside Gunn said he was done making traditional studio albums, but he didn’t say he was going to stop making music. Actually, his exact words were, “It’s back to dumping.”
With his third and final installment of the Flygod trilogy still on the way, the Griselda boss announced a Nov. 1 release date for the “perfectly curated” Still Praying that he mentioned in the summer with a lengthy Instagram caption. “Westside Gunn ‘Still Praying,’ perfectly curated by WSGUNN, Nov 1st,” he wrote. “This is for Big Dump, Michelle, GDad, Virgil, Chinegun, Sly Green, Kutter, Shots, Bacon, behind the wall and Buffalo!!!!!! I promise y’all about to witness a new chapter in this sh—t starting now!!!!”
Adding, “Still praying is the beginning of a new era of Griselda Records I promise y’all I’m a make sure y’all never forget this sh—t, just support the art and watch how life change for the better. Flygod Is an Awesome God, when everybody thought i was just chillin I was actually curating the illest art (wrestling/fashion/music) I ever made, but now it’s time to show y’all everything I been working on, I’m a show y’all why it’ll never be another Westside Gunn.”
He revealed the album art last month in September, which features a picture of wrestler Sid Vicious, who recently passed away a few months ago in August, lending to Gunn’s infatuation with pro wrestling.
Gunn has teased a couple tracks back in January. First, his song “Chocolate Face” featuring DJ Khaled was used as TNA’s Slammiversary official theme song, and a few days later he tweeted out a snippet of “Big Dump” featuring Stove God Cooks. Although, neither song has been officially release yet.
