Westside Gunn has announced that he will be dropping a surprise project before his hotly anticipated new album Flygod Is an Awesome God III (Trilogy).

In an Instagram post on Sunday (August 18), the Griselda founder uploaded a video of himself in a Paris studio and said: “I just made this album in a day. I wanted to see if I still had it. Listen, I’m not even waiting. I want to drop this ASAP. I gotta go figure out what I gotta do, how I gotta do it, whatever distribution, I want this out ASAP. This is to let people know.”

He added in the caption: “STILL PRAYING!!!!!!!!! I came here to mix and master my album FLYGOD IS AN AWESOME GOD 3 and was waiting for my files, so I had played some beats and caught a vibe told him load it and made a joint, then made another joint and then made another joint and now 24hrs later i made a new project.

“I told y’all I was thinking about dropping a project even before the album, I been doing so much wrestling and Fashion im ready to get back on my WSG SHÌT!!!!!!”

An unreleased song could be heard in the background of Gunn’s video, giving fans an early glimpse at the upcoming project.

Westside Gunn announced Flygod Is an Awesome God III (Trilogy) in July, writing on X (formerly Twitter): “FLYGOD IS AN AWESOME GOD III (TRILOGY). This ALBUM IS KRAAAAAZY!!!! I had to Bring the Mask back out bc this shit toooo RAW & DUSTY, I know the game Miss me even though my kids been doing a great job with entertaining… YOUR FATHERS BACK HOME @griseldarecords x MICHELLE”

He also boasted that the project is Album of the Year material.

“MY ALBUM IS INCREDIBLE AND AOTY,” he tweeted. “I executive prod this to perfection and REMEMBER I SAID THIS!!!!! [goat emoji, scorpion emoji].”

Despite teasing Flygod Is an Awesome God III (Trilogy), the Buffalo, New York native has still yet to unveil a release date for the album.

Last year, Westside Gunn declared that he was done making traditional studio albums.

“[This is] going to be the last album where I take the time to say ‘this is an album,’” he said in an interview with Rolling Stone ahead of the release of And Then You Pray For Me.

“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.”

He added: “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 The Alchemist or I won’t rap. I’ll do all of that, but making a studio album, I’m done with all that.”

Lily Allen announces comeback album West End Girl

Lily Allen is preparing to release her first album in seven years, West End Girl, this Friday (October 24, 2025), and she has admitted she feels “nervous” because it is the most “vulnerable” record of her career so far.

The Smile singer, who has signed a new deal with BMG, wrote the emotionally raw tracks in just 10 days.

In a statement, the 40-year-old shared: “I’m nervous.

The record is vulnerable in a way that my music perhaps hasn’t been before – certainly not over the course of a whole album. I’ve tried to document my life in a new city and the events that led me to where I am in my life now.”

Those events include the breakdown of her marriage to Stranger Things actor David Harbour, 50.

She continued: “At the same time, I’ve used shared experiences as the basis for songs which try to delve into why we humans behave as we do, so the record is a mixture of fact and fiction which I hope serves as a reminder of how stoic yet also how frail we humans can be. In that respect I think it’s very much an album about the complexities of relationships and how we all navigate them. It’s a story……”

This marks Lily’s first LP since her fourth studio album No Shame came out in 2018.

Between 2006 and 2018, the pop star released four albums and scored massive hits with songs like Smile, The Fear, and Not Fair.

She previously opened up about finding comfort in making new music after going through heartbreak.

Speaking on her Miss Me? podcast, she said: “Music is the one place where I can let it all go. It’s almost like therapy. I like to write and record at the same time with somebody else in the room — there’s something therapeutic about it.

My producer or my co-writers become almost like therapists because I’m processing the things that I’m going through in real time ... I can do that in music, but I can’t really do it when I’m talking to friends or my parents. It doesn’t mean I’m being inauthentic ... I just don’t feel like I can sum things up properly. But I can do it in a three-and-a-half minute pop song.”
