Westside Gunn has just released his latest album Heelmatic via Griselda Records and Mass Appeal. It’s truly a full circle moment considering the project’s name is a nod to Nas, the spirit behind Mass Appeal, who shook the whole culture when he dropped Illmatic.
The project is as “grimy, dusty, soulful and jazz inspired” as Gunn promised it would be. Not too long ago, the rapper turned heads with the lead single ‘Zilla,’ the music video for which showcased the rapper in a desert in Cairo, atop a camel doing what he does best: delivering top tier raps.
The project boasts 16 tracks in total, and comes in after Gunn dropped 3 mixtape projects last year. Talk about consistency and a body of work! The cover art features Gunn covered in tattoos, face hidden and covered in all red. Check out the album below!
