Westside Gunn has always released music at a rapid pace, and this is no different given his last album, 10, arrived just four months ago.
Last December, however, the Buffalo, New York native hinted at retiring from rap by announcing that 2023 will be the last year he’ll release music.

“23’ def my last year doing this shit,” he tweeted. “I don’t have nothing else 2prove, I put my team on, I put my city on, I worked w/everybody I ever wanted to work with, plus MFs still don’t even understand 1-10, FLYGOD, Awesome GOD, or Pray for Paris(mind u Virgil did the cover) im the [goat emoji] [shrug emoji].”
In addition to & Then U Pray For Me, Westside Gunn is also working on a new album called Michelle Records, which he first teased last year via pair of trailers featuring cameos from Fabolous, Dave East, Conway The Machine, Benny The Butcher and Armani Caesar.
Later, clips of in-house Griselda producer Conductor Williams making a beat from scratch and WSG hanging out with A$AP Rocky, who laid vocals for the project, had fans buzzing with excitement even more.
In an interview with HipHopDX last September, Westside Gunn hinted that Michelle Records would drop on Halloween; however, that release ended up being the aforementioned 10.

Gunn did confirm to HipHopDX at the time that Michelle Records is still on the way.
