Westside Gunn has dropped his new album, Still Praying, right in time for the holiday season. Check it out below.
The album was unleashed on Friday and finds Gunn teaming up with a list of heavy hitters that helped the Buffalo, New York native bring the Griselda vibes in full force. DJ Drama serves as a narrator on the project while artists such as Boldy James, Stove God Cooks, Rome Streetz, and a Griselda reunion with Gunn's family, Benny the Butcher and Conway the Machine, round out the guest features.
On the production side, Gunn linked up with the usual suspects in Conductor Williams and Daringer, as well as other beatsmiths. Still Praying is a follow-up to Gunn's 2020 effort And Then You Pray For Me and also comes after the rapper unleashed his newest EP titled 11 just a day before.
"Some paintings are masterpieces, and this just happens to be one," said Gunn of his new album in a statement. "I wanted to show everybody not only am I the best curator; but I can also rap my ass off."
In addition to the new album, Gunn is preparing to take over Chicago on November 2 with the Heels Have Eyes 3 event. The gathering will highlight his love of wrestling through the lens of art, fashion, and music. It is in collaboration with Gunn's new professional wrestling promotion, 4th Rope.
Guests will be treated to musical performances by DJ Premier and Pete Rock, as well as Statik Selektah, Rome Streetz, Daringer, and more special guests. There will also be some physical action. Gunn has scheduled several professional wrestling bouts at the event, such as a "Steel Praying" steel cage match, Joe Hendry versus AJ Francis, Moose versus Zilla Fatu for the 4th Rope heavyweight championship belt, and more.
Tickets for Heels Have Eyes 3 can be purchased here.
