You know what to expect when it comes to Westside Gunn but getting a full-fledged new project in the form of this HEELMATIC album? My goodness.
Westside Gunn delivers a solid 16-track ‘HEELMATIC’ album
It’s all-caps and pure energy coming through with the new HEELMATIC project. Signature song titles and Westside delivering repeat-worthy anthems. Fully tap in.
GRAMMY® Award-nominated rapper, lyricist, curator, and tastemaker Westside Gunn released his new album HEELMATIC, via Griselda Records / Mass Appeal. Listen HERE.
HEELMATIC signals a new era for Gunn, introducing a fresh production style that pushes his sound in new directions while retaining the signature elements that have defined his artistry. Spanning soulful, hard-hitting, grimy, and vibey tracks, the project showcases the full range of Gunn’s sound, delivering everything fans love about his music through a fresh creative lens.
Last month, Gunn previewed the album with surprise single “ZILLA.” Produced by longtime collaborator Denny LaFlare, the track is driven by Gunn’s signature gritty sound and unmistakable ad-libs, offering a taste of what was to come. Watch the video HERE and listen HERE.
Fans can shop the official Westside Gunn merchandise collection now at shop.massappeal.com, featuring an extensive selection of 2XLP vinyl editions, cassettes, CDs, and more. Following an exclusive early release for subscribers, several items sold out almost immediately, with the collection seeing unprecedented demand following its public launch. With fans eager to get their hands on the collection, the response has been nothing short of extraordinary.
Yesterday, Westside Gunn’s wrestling collective, 4th Rope Wrestling, partnered up with Mass Appeal for a clash of wrestling and music like none other. Taking over the Melrose Ballroom in Queens, the evening featured live performances with songs from HEELMATIC, a DJ set by Statik Selektah, surprise appearances from Nas, Matt and Jeff Hardy, and head to head battles between Real 1 vs TJP, Rhio vs Janai Kai, Atrocity Krule vs Cokane, Xanti Li vs Mara Sade, Josh Bishop vs Killer Riv, Ricky Sosa vs Hype Kuro, and Swerve Strickland vs Ninja Mack.
Continuing the momentum, Gunn will bring his HEEL THE WORLD TOUR 2: “STILL HEALING!” to Europe and the UK in early 2027, with the upcoming leg kicking off Jan. 30 in Brussels, Belgium, with dates through February.
