Westside Gunn‘s eagerly awaited Michelle Records won’t be dropping this Halloween — instead, he’s releasing a new installment in his Hitler Wears Hermes series.
During a recent interview with Hot 97’s Peter Rosenberg, the Griselda rapper revealed plans to release Hitler Wears Hermes 10 on October 28, coinciding with the 10th anniversary of his first HWH project.
The news will be bittersweet for many, though, as Gunn confirmed it will be the final offering in his long-running series.
“It was supposed to have been Michelle first, and you already know I have a notorious series called Hitler Wears Hermes, which I started 10 years ago in 2012,” he said. “Every year, at this time, I made Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, all the way up to now. So it’s only right if I end it on 10.”
He added: “The last one [Hitler Wears Hermes 8: Side B] was going to be the final one, but I felt weird doing nine and not 10 of them. And you know, like in anything, you always celebrate the 10th year.”
Westside Gunn is looking to end the series with a bang as he revealed Hitler Wears Hermes 10 will feature collaborations with a murderer’s row of Hip Hop legends.
Fans can expect guest appearances from Black Star (Yasiin Bey and Talib Kweli), Run The Jewels, Busta Rhymes, Raekwon, Ghostface Killah, DJ Drama and Doe Boy, as well as production from Swizz Beatz, RZA and The Alchemist, among others.
The album will also see Westside Gunn spread his wings sonically with two trap beats from his 20-year-old son, affectionally known as “Flygod Jr.”
Lastly, the Buffalo, New York native revealed he’s contemplating packaging the entire Hitler Wears Hermes series into a box set. “I’m looking at all of that, like a crazy art piece, do a real limited, special 10-box of it and go crazy,” he said.
Westside Gunn Hints At Jay Electronica Joining Griselda
The news comes after Westside Gunn had spent months teasing Michelle Records. During an interview with HipHopDX at Rolling Loud New York in September, the Buffalo native hinted at dropping the project in time for Halloween.
Westside Gunn’s last full-length release, Peace “Fly” God, arrived in July featuring collaborations with Madlib, Stove God Cook$, Daringer and others.
That’s his real voice??? Then why the hell he rap and sound like he does on records? I’m actually shocked by that.
Why would any idiot waste their money on a bunch of AYO. AYO. AYO. BOOOOOBOOOOBOO. DOOOTDOOOTDOOOT. BRRRRRR. SKKKUUURRRRT box set of GARBAGE?!!?!
Let me guess, one of them fucked your girl ?
No, actually I’m gay. WSG and them Griselda homos pumped the Hershey Highways of a bunch of boys I’m sleeping with. AYO. AYO. AYO. BOOOBOOOBOOO. DOOOODOOODOOOT. BRRRRRRRRR. SKKKURRTT.
Did he steal the doot doot from nardwuar the human ph4g0tette?
Damn, he got all the antisemites except for Ye huh, what a clown
His son doing 2 trap beats on the album is enuff to make me never check this out. All you east coast cats making trap music are clownssssssss.
HERMES 8 AND SIDE B WERE DOPE! LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS. SIDENOTE: STOP DELETING MY SHIT.
I fucks with w$G heavy, I just think it’s weird to say how he doesn’t care about streams and analytics but will go off on a rant if he’s left off of a list, or doesn’t get an award
Why do you think streams= awards? You can’t be this new.
Yes he’s very emotional like a bish on a period. Throws temper tantrums like a manchild that he is. Fuckin baby.
Funny how they have all these co-signs and collaborate with everybody under the sun but still can’t get a hit record or haven’t gone gold or platinum yet. Riddle me that.
You clearly don’t understand the point of this type of music. It’s definitely not to make a “hit record” or “go gold” this is just timeless classic music that you or anyone doesn’t have to like. It’s for the real hip hop heads that appreciate the culture and are anti radio anti mainstream. If u don’t like his music why u click and comment on his articles. This ain’t for you, they got articles on cardi b for you. Gtfoh
Shut your black mouth, boy.

some records go gold and platinum for good reason, but a lot of them these days do just cause of marketing or sheer luck. If you don’t listen to or enjoy ANYTHING that isn’t high-selling then you’re prob quite the bore.
Westside gun and that whole crew sucks balls and that whole movement is definitely dead after how they spit in Eminem face after he gave them a career.
if they’re not your taste that’s cool, I love them though sometimes they drop too much, but I don’t think that’s really what happened with Em. Em and Shady records dropped the ball with Griselda and didn’t do much at all to promote the albums released under Shady, I think Griselda left after realizing the co wasn’t gonna do anything they couldn’t really do for themselves. Unless you know something I don’t
