Westside Gunn is back with a fresh announcement that’s got his fans buzzing. The rapper has revealed a new album titled Still Praying. The Griselda artist is showing no signs of slowing down.
Album Announcement and Artwork
On September 4, Westside Gunn took to Instagram to announce his latest project, Still Praying. The post featured what appears to be the cover art, a photo of deceased wrestler Sidney “Sid Vicious” Eudy. Gunn captioned it: “STILL PRAYING” COMING SOON [goat emoji, scorpion emoji, scales emoji] @griseldarecords.” He confirmed in the comments that it’s indeed an album and not just a single.
Art Piece and Excitement
Westside Gunn further fueled excitement by describing the upcoming project as “a FUCKIN ART PIECE.” Details about the release date are yet to be unveiled. However, the anticipation is already building among his followers.
Continuation of Previous Themes
Still Praying looks to be a follow-up to his previous albums Pray For Paris and And Then You Pray For Me. These projects have cemented Gunn’s place in the industry. This new album is expected to build on those themes and provide fresh content for his audience.
Other Upcoming Projects
In addition to this, Gunn announced another new album last month, called Flygod Is An Awesome God III (Trilogy). He has confirmed multiple projects in the works, indicating a prolific period of creativity. His fans have a lot to look forward to.
Personal Struggles and Hiatus
After a short break from the public eye, Gunn is back with a vengeance. The hiatus followed the death of his close associate Infinite a.k.a. Big Dump. Gunn referred to him affectionately as his “big bro,” and took some time to cope with the loss.
Message to Fans
Westside Gunn reassured his fans on Instagram. He wrote about being mentally and physically okay, despite the break. “I’m still SUPER FLYGOD everyday!!!!!” he posted, adding that he’s been designing new pieces and working on fresh ideas to impact the culture.

A Change of Plans
Interestingly, Gunn had earlier stated that And Then You Pray For Me would be his last studio album. In a Rolling Stone interview last year, he mentioned focusing more on shorter projects like EPs. However, the recent announcements mark a noticeable change in his plans.
Recording Spree
Gunn has recently revealed plans to drop a project he recorded in just 24 hours. This recording spree stands in contrast to his prior comments on winding down studio albums, indicating a highly creative and productive phase.
