Westside Gunn Drops ‘HEELS HAVE EYES 2’ on Westside Gunn Day
Hip-hop artist Westside Gunn has released his highly anticipated project HEELS HAVE EYES 2, available now via Griselda Records and Roc Nation Distribution. The new release serves as a sequel to HEELS HAVE EYES, which arrived earlier this year and built momentum through tracks like the “EGYPT” remix with Doechii.
The project continues Gunn’s vision of merging music, art, fashion, and wrestling into a cinematic experience. Its striking cover art depicts VIRGIL, a suited man leaping over a wrestling barricade with a championship belt in hand, paying homage to Gunn’s “4th Rope” persona. HEELS HAVE EYES 2 delivers 12 new songs and arrives in time for the annual “Westside Gunn Day” celebration in Buffalo, N.Y.
Originally proclaimed in 2019, “Westside Gunn Day” has grown into a yearly festival highlighting Gunn’s impact on his community and artistry. This year’s celebration takes place at Buffalo RiverWorks with performances by Joey Bada$$, Bun B, Styles P, and more.
The first installment of the HEELS HAVE EYES series dropped in April 2025, recorded in a single day with production from Harry Fraud, Denny LaFlare, Mr. Green, and Cee Gee. The project included fan favorite “EGYPT,” which went viral after Doechii’s reaction to being sampled led to an official remix.
