Westside Gunn's new album HEELMATIC is out November 13, 2026, on Apple Music, released through Griselda Records and Mass Appeal. The 16-song set runs about 54 minutes. Last month he previewed it with the surprise single "ZILLA", a one-song release dated Oct. 22, 2026, on Apple Music. That song sits third on the album. Apple marks the set Explicit. The Apple Music album notes name guests including Benny the Butcher, Conway the Machine, and Rome Streetz. The longest song is "HURT + HEEL," at 7:04. "GIANT LEATHER" runs 46 seconds.

KAZI first reported the Nov 13 date last week, when Gunn also set a 4th Rope show in New York for Nov 12. A release from his publicist, The Lede Company, says that show, presented with Mass Appeal, ran at Melrose Ballroom in Queens with live performances of songs from HEELMATIC and a DJ set by Statik Selektah.

The official video for "ZILLA" is on the GRISELDA VISION YouTube channel, the same Griselda Records channel that posted the clip when the single arrived in October.
