HEELMATIC - Westside Gunn

About This Release

HEELMATIC is Westside Gunn's first album for Mass Appeal, though the Griselda name stays on the spine and the ℗ line reads Griselda Records/Mass Appeal across all 16 tracks. Benny the Butcher and Conway the Machine both rap on "DON PISTOLA," and each turns up again opposite Gunn on "BOTTOM BUNK LEGENDS" and "THE BASTARD PAC."

Stove God Cooks takes four guest spots, including "BLOWDYSSEUS" and "BAVETTES," with Brother Tom Sos and Rome Streetz rounding out a roster drawn from Gunn's own circle. The longest cut is the seven-minute "HURT + HEEL," where Gunn, Benny and Brother Tom Sos split the verses, and the lead single "ZILLA" runs on a beat from longtime collaborator Denny LaFlare.
