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.”
