Westside Gunn is in album mode. The Buffalo rapper took to Instagram over the weekend and announced that he plans on dropping a surprise warm-up tape before releasing the highly anticipated Flygod Is an Awesome God III (Trilogy).
“I came here to mix and master my album Flygod Is an Awesome God 3,” he started the caption. “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.”
He added, “I told y’all I was thinking about dropping a project even before the album, I been doing so much wrestling and fashion I’m ready to get back on my WSG s—t!!!!”
In the video, he said he made the album in a day to see if he still had it, and wants to release the new tape immediately. “Listen, I’m not even waiting. I want to drop this ASAP,” he shared. “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.”
The Buffalo rapper surprised fans when he announced his plans to release the third installment to the Flygod trilogy after initially considering retiring from making studio albums. “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 Alchemist or I won’t rap. I’ll do all of that, but making a studio album, I’m done with all that. It’s back to dumping until I don’t want to dump no more. I’m going to have fun now. It’s no more pressure,” he told Rolling Stone last October.
While an unreleased track could be heard in the background of the video he posted, Gunn hasn’t released anything thing from this upcoming project. However, he’s already premiered one single from Flygod 3 during TNA’s Slammiversary in “Chocolate Face” featuring DJ Khaled, and teased another track on social media in “Big Dump” featuring Stove God Cooks.
