“STILL PRAYING is the beginning of a new era of @griseldarecords I promise y’all I’m a make sure y’all never forget this shit, just support the ART and watch how life change for the better," he continued. “FLYGOD IS AN AWESOME GOD, when everybody thought I was just chillin I was actually curating the illest ART (WRESTLING/FASHION/MUSIC) I ever Made but now it’s time to show y’all everything I been working on. I’m a show y’all why it’ll never be another WESTSIDE GUNN.”
Westside Gunn first debuted the cover a few weeks after announced his plans for Still Praying. In August, the Buffalo native told his fans that he made the project in a day and was extremely excited about dropping it as soon as possible. The project is expected to arrive ahead of his other anticipated LP Flygod Is an Awesome God III (Trilogy). As of this report, the next installment of his trilogy does not have a release date.
Look out for Still Praying dropping on November 1.
