Westside Gunn has set a date for his highly-anticipated new album titled “Still Praying.”
The Buffalo representative took to Instagram to announce that November 1 will be the big day and his loyal fans can expect another great project from the Griselda camp.
“THIS IS FOR BIG DUMP, MICHELLE, GDAD, VIRGIL, CHINEGUN, SLY GREEN, KUTTER, SHOTS, BACON, BEHIND THE WALL and BUFFALO!!!!!!” Westside said, paying tribute to family and friends who passed away. “I promise y’all about to witness a new chapter in this shit starting NOW!!!!”
STILL PRAYING is the beginning of a new era of @griseldarecords I promise y’all I’m a make sure y’all never forget this shit, just support the ART and watch how life change for the better,” he added.
Known for his love of professional wrestling, Westside unveiled the artwork for the album that features a photo of Sid Eudy, famously known as former WWE star Sid Justice/Sid Vicious who passed away in August.
“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,” Westgunn wrote. “I’m a show y’all why it’ll never be another WESTSIDE GUNN.”
As one of the most prolific rappers in the game, Westside posted on X (Formerly Twitter) that his next solo album, Flygod Is An Awesome God III (Trilogy) is also on the way after taking several months to grieve the loss of a loved one. The project will be a follow-up to l Flygod Is An Awesome God which came out in 2019, and the sequel in 2020.
In 2023, he released Hall and Nash 2, a collaborative album with Conway the Machine produced entirely by The Alchemist and dropped another And Then You Pray For Me in the same year stating that it would be his last official album.
“[This is] going to be the last album where I take the time to say ‘this is an album,’” Westside said in an interview with Rolling Stone. “When I was doing the Hitler Wears Hermes series, I was doing all them projects like mixtapes. I was recording the whole shit in two, three days. I’m not saying I won’t come with a five-song EP with Madlib or I won’t do a seven-song EP with Alchemist or I won’t rap. I’ll do all of that, but making a studio album, I’m done with all that.”
