Fans who have been waiting for the last installment of Westside Gunn’s infamous Hitler Wears Hermes series can rejoice. On Wednesday (March 31), the Griselda Records leader dropped two new songs off the highly-anticipated project.
The two songs, “Julia Lang” and “TV BOY,” serve as the start of this next chapter in Westside Gunn’s lengthy 16-year career. On “Julia Lang,” Westside pays tribute to the founder of the genderless lifestyle label VEERT who also happens to appear in the music video. Westside lays waste to the Camouflage Monk-produced beat with his sharp lyrics about his fashion and wealth.
“Contemplatin’ breakin’ down a whole, dumpin’, divvy loads (Ah)/Don’t pillow talk to hoes, I’m up in Nieman’s talkin’ dope to stoves/Bathing Ape, OVO, Prada button, down to my kneecaps/I sold my first square, this shit touched my soul/Listen here,” he raps.
As for “TV BOY,” Westside links up with the usual suspects in Daringer and Beat Butcha for a sound that fits right into Griselda’s trademark grimy sound. The same can be said about the vicious bars Westside Gunn drops about cooking up dope and targeting his opposition.
“Ayo, we whip-whop dishes, four-fifth in the Enfantes Riches/Fifty-K for the Dolce and Gabana, the refrigerator in the kitchen/Hand me the ice, Lord, sellin’ dope part of my religion/Back to back Maybach trucks (Skrrt), two-tone/Wet his baby mama house up(Brr, brr), I don’t give a fuck who home,” he raps in the opening verse.
Westside Gunn Continues Relentless Release Schedule By Announcing 'Sincerely Adolf' Project

The LP included collaborations with Black Thought, Benny The Butcher, Conway The Machine, Slick Rick, Busta Rhymes, Armani Caesar and Boldy James, among others.
Listen to “Julia Lang” and “TV BOY” below.
Please God, No!!! I can’t take any more Boom Boom Boom BS with a million features. His raps are worse than catching the Coronavirus.
Why listen? You either down with the movement or not!
Bowel Movement are more relieving than this movement. Hope he retires soon like immediately like he said he would and do the world a favor.
I like some of WSG music. Don’t like all the gun ad libs. But your comment made me laugh haha
I agree, the best thing about his music is…. deleting it from my playlist and never listening to it again.
Can someone explain to me, how does this man get so much praise? I’m not hearing or seeing anything special here.
AYO. AYO. AYO. BOOOBOOOOBOOOM. DOOOTDOOOTDOOOT. BRRRRRRRRRR. SKKKKKKKKKKRRRRTTT. To be honest I haven’t met anyone who likes his music, and I think his buzz is largely self generated with clever marketing strategies. It’s like tooting your own horn or sucking your own peepee.
L.
Boo-boo-boo-boo-boo-boo-boo-boogeeer!
Dope shit! Where is all this WSG hate coming from?
I know all rappers ’embellish’, but these guys have taken the studio gangster stuff way too far. They’re doing from an upper middle class neighborhood and went to private schools. Cmon man..don’t tell me I don’t know, because im from the same area. Frontin out here hard.
What the fuck is up with the hate! Griselda is the only good hip hop out period. Everyone else is horrible.
But WSG is the worst one in Griselda tho. If Conway is their 50 Cent while WSG is more like Tony Yayo ( just as annoying), we acknowledge that he’s there but people mainly come from Conway and Benny The Butcher.
“Griselda is the only good hip hop out now, everyone else is horrible” -typical suburban listener
I like Benny and Conway is a beast but man this guy is obnoxious af. His voice sounds like 2 cats bumping pissholes in a back alley. Not to mention corny
Lmao Can’t disagree with you, but damn the man has an ear for beats. Love the production he raps over.
Are we gonna get that WSG/Travis Scott collabo soon? Real hip hop, am I right guys?
WSG IS D BEST TO ME
