HEELMATIC Producers: Who Made the Beats on Westside Gunn's Album

By Dani Reyes, November 14, 2026

Denny LaFlare says he produced seven of the 16 songs on Westside Gunn's HEELMATIC, which is out November 13, 2026, through Griselda Records and Mass Appeal. Apple Music's credits are narrower. They name LaFlare, spelled Denny La Flare, as producer on "ZILLA" only, and list Gunn himself, under his legal name, Alvin Worthy, as producer on the other 15.

Gunn first set the November 13 date alongside a 4th Rope show in New York, and KAZI covered the album's release when it arrived.

Where the credits come from

Two sources count here. The first is the song credits on Apple Music. The second is LaFlare's own Instagram post, which reads "I produced the songs" above seven titles. His work with Gunn goes back years: Apple lists LaFlare's album Jewels of the Wild from July 31, 2019, with Gunn on "Lunchin."

On six of those seven, Apple's producer line names only Worthy, so the two sources don't match. Where Apple's Worthy line is the only credit, the beatmaker is listed below as unconfirmed. Apple also lists Statik Selektah as mastering engineer and OGM Ricky as mixing engineer on all 16 songs.

What the sheet adds up to

Apple confirms LaFlare as producer on "ZILLA," and he claims six more in his own post. The other nine have no beatmaker named anywhere beyond Apple's line for Gunn. My read: LaFlare's post is the clearest credit sheet this album has, and the gap between it and Apple's listing is reason enough to keep those nine open instead of guessing.
