Westside Gunn isn’t letting his foot off the gas in 2020. Two months after releasing his Pray For Paris album, the Griselda Records architect has announced a new LP titled Flygod Is An Awesome God II.
The sequel to 2019’s Flygod Is An Awesome God is scheduled to drop next Friday (July 3), giving Griselda fans some new music to enjoy during the Fourth Of July weekend.
“FLYGOD IS AN AWESOME GOD II 7/3,” the Roc Nation-managed MC wrote Instagram. “I guess y’all thought I was playing… The New leader of the CULTURE- FASHION,ART,MUSIC,WRESTLING,FILM BTW PRAY FOR PARIS is not done I’m still dropping 2more videos, the Movie & the Box CDs I’m just on SHIT!!!! ? #FLYGOD #GXFR #LEGEND #ICON #CULTURE #FIAAG2 #BUFFALOKIDS.”
Westside’s music update comes just a few days after he was promoting Griselda’s first foray into film. His labelmate Benny The Butcher is the star and executive producer of the label’s debut movie Conflicted, which is directed by AK.Reed Films.
“I’ve literally watched this movie Everyday since it’s completion..the story, the acting, the shots everything is A1,” WSG declared social media. “I promise u you will watch this 50x like any other classic in the streets I’m so Happy and Proud of everybody who participated in the making of this Film, When this Drop everything changing, What GRISELDA did for Music will be the same way for Film it’s All about the ART.”
