Westside Gunn insists he’s retiring at the end of the year, but he still has plans for one more release. Despite already dropping three projects over the course of 2020, the Griselda Records mastermind announced a new mixtape titled Sincerely Adolf on Friday (October 30).
The tape serves as the eighth entry in his Hitler Wears Hermès series. The previous installment, Hitler Wears Hermès 7, was released in November 2019.
“Everything must come to an end, I gotta Finish how I started off,” Westside wrote via Instagram. “WSG ‘SINCERELY ADOLF’ aka HWH8 coming VERY soon ART by the beautiful @itsmariel #FLYGOD #HWH8 #CULTURE #ICON #BUFFALOKIDS #HipHop #theBestSeriesEver #ART #History The Devil Wears Prada = Hitler Wears Hermès.”
Westside hasn’t announced a release date for Sincerely Adolf, but it will presumably arrive within the next nine weeks if he intends to fulfill his retirement plans. The last two editions of Hitler Wears Hermès tapes dropped in November, so fans probably won’t be waiting long to hear the new entry.
The upcoming project will be Westside’s follow-up to his Shady Records solo debut Who Made The Sunshine, which was released on October 2. The LP included collaborations with Black Thought, Benny The Butcher, Conway The Machine, Slick Rick, Busta Rhymes, Armani Caesar and Boldy James, among others.

Westside began his busy year by releasing his Pray For Paris album independently in April. It peaked at No. 67 on the Billboard 200.
The Buffalo-bred rapper followed it up with Flygod Is An Awesome God II in July. And amid his string of solo projects, Westside routinely made uest appearances on his Griselda labelmates’ albums, EPs and mixtapes in 2020.

Wow, guy’s a complete idiot. Adolf would’ve put his black ass in a gas chamber in no time. AYO. AYO AYO . BOOBOOBOOBOOBOO. DOOTDOOTDOOT. BRRRRRRR
Then that gas Chambers on fire!!!! ???? Skrrrunchy!!!
If this is Westside’s last project, then good. Stay behind the scenes after that and not on the mic. There are already four better rappers than him on the label.
Can this dude just stop with releasing music, and do something else? Preferably that “something” won’t require him speaking on the mic.
Nope a hater, he makes dope real hip hop something you don’t know about culture vulture . Westside Gunn will keep speaking on the mic because he is Griselda .. you can go away hater ass culture vulture
Ne era G O A T.
Please god can this year be over so we dont have to listen to this dude anymore? Nobody cares if you retire when you are trash. That isnt going to boost the sales or streams. Gtfoh please
It’s a fact Westside Gunn is not trash like you hater and you don’t know crap about Hip Hop . wrong millions of people care about Westside Gunn because he’s the backbone of Griselda. Nope GTFOH culture vulture.
100
Who Made the Sunshine was good because of the great guests and beats. Westside Gunn not so much
Please retire
As we all know by now, WSG king. Bring on the Madlib joint. Brrr
Retire…nah especially not before Gunn and Madlib! I don’t understand why WSG is in such a hurry to retire from rap. At least give it 2 more years.
Agreed. They really just REALLY got in the limelight in the last 2-3 years.
doot doot doot!!
All this hate for someone unique and still doing his own independent thing regardless of being signed to a major, and releasing music on his own w/out any help from Shady.. Every artist has some ad lib they use throughout their songs.. Ad libs are hip hop.. Don’t listen to dude if you have nothing good to say.. Keep listening to your mumble rap garbage and your artists that can’t rap w/out auto-fucking-tune.. Any one of yous that would see WSG on the street would NEVER say this shit you say behind a keyboard.. Meanwhile, he’s laughing all the way to the bank.. Retire in peace, FLYGOD
Yeah the point is “some” ad lib, like you said. Jadakiss has the chuckle, Jay has the “is your boy”, Joe Budden has the emphasis on the F word and “parks on the board”. But no one has littered every single track with the same bull crap for years straight. Can you imagine WSG doing this in the 90’s?!
Word! ?
Fuk the haters. .
Dope
Hello rappers of today. The goal is to sell a million records. Not drop a million records.
