Westside Gunn shares his new “Peace Fly God” project.
Westside Gunn’s influence on the culture undeniably looms larger than ever. While the multi-hyphenate artist/label owner/creative/curator/fashion icon has kept his loyal fanbase captive by sharing updates and teasing the projects he is shaping, he hasn’t released a project since his ambitious double-album, HWH8: Sincerely Adolf, near the end of 2021.
Undoubtedly, the creative ambiance and vibes of Paris and Fashion week induces Westside Gunn to get in his bag. Gunn’s first voyage to Paris for Fashion Week at the invite of Virgil Abloh (RIP) for his Off-White exhibition culminated in an unprompted, two-day innovative frenzy that resulted in his now-classic Pray For Paris album.

After recently stealing the spotlight again at Fashion Week in Paris, Gunn returned to the states reinvigorated and again inspired; so inspired, that as soon as he landed he headed directly to the studio to cook up his new art project Peace Fly God. “As soon as I landed back in the states from Paris, the homies pulled right up on me” Gunn emphatically states. Immaculately curated by Westside Gunn, the project was recorded in another 48-hour marathon session (the same amount of time it took Gunn to record Pray For Paris).
Peace Fly God features production from Madlib, Daringer, Conductor Williams (read more about their collaborative process), and Don Carrera, along with guest appearances from Stove God Cooks and Estee Nack. Peace Fly God is a precursor to Westside Gunn’s forthcoming Michelle Records which will be released later this year.
