Westside Gunn says that his next album will be Heels Have Eyes 2 and that the project is "coming soon." He made the announcement in a post on Instagram on Monday. The album will continue a busy year for the Griselda rapper, who already released 12 back in February as well as the first Heels Have Eyes in April.
"This YEAR I’ve already dropped a AOTY contender w/ '12' and then dropped a flawless EP 'HEELS HAVE EYES' followed up with the EGYPT RMX w/ DOECHII but since I’m the ? and the illest curator in the ? and GOD IS THE GREATEST I wanna keep giving y’all ?️ NO GIMMICKS NO FAKE RAP BEEF.. JUST ART CLASS."
Fans in the comments section are stoked about the news. "Everyone wake up, this is important," one user wrote. Another added: "I’m loving the volume of these releases." Tons of other fans shared fire and other emojis.
In addition to 12 and Heels Have Eyes, Westside Gunn also teamed up with Doechii on a remix of his song, "Egypt." He originally sampled her voice from her interview with Apple Music and Ebro Darden on the track, which she appreciated. “Westside Gunn just sampled me so pretty much kiss the blackest part of my a– and choke on a side ways d–k! He snapped omg,” she wrote on X (formerly Twitter), as caught by Billboard.
After dropping the official remix with Doechii, Gunn wrote on X: “I wanna Thank @officialdoechii for this Body Bag!!!! She’s ALWAYS gave me my [flowers emoji] and I’m forever grateful and humble, u didn’t have to bless me like this fresh from the Grammy win I REALLY [love heart emoji] this record it’s so FUN!!!!”
Westside Gunn has yet to provide further details on an exact release date for Heels Have Eyes 2 nor has he given more of an idea as to what fans can expect from the project. On the first Heels Have Eyes, he surprisingly didn't include any official features, other than the aforementioned Doechii sample. He did, however, work with producers Harry Fraud and Cee Gee

Charli xcx has added the Music, Fashion, Film B sides “I Keep On Thinking Bout You Every Single Day and Night,” “Playboy Bunny” and “If You Take the Music Then What Has She Got?” to iTunes through a new digital deluxe release titled Music, Fashion, Film (B-Sides Edition).
The three tracks had already been introduced to listeners through Charli’s @b.sides alternative Instagram account. They also appeared as physical B sides on limited edition 7 inch singles for “Rock Music,” “SS26” and “Camera,” as well as in an extensive Music, Fashion, Film box set. However, fans were unable to officially buy them as digital downloads until Sunday, July 26.
Charli previously told her audience that the songs were “never gonna go on streaming … I don’t think,” although she admitted at the time that her decision might eventually change.
“you can call me a hypocrite, i don’t mind,” Charli wrote alongside a winking emoji while announcing Music, Fashion, Film (B-Sides Edition) on Sunday.
Priced at $4.99 on iTunes, the digital collection features all 11 songs from the original Music, Fashion, Film album, along with the three additional B sides and their accompanying music videos.
Explaining her choice further on Instagram, Charli wrote: “i made b sides for each of the songs released ahead of Music, Fashion, Film because it felt natural to pair each songs with a fitting counterpart – something that’s adjacent to the album but not entirely part of it. traditionally, b sides often become fan favorites… and i guess in the case of some of the b sides for this album, that has proven to be true. i felt adamant i wouldn’t put them on streaming because it sort of felt counter intuitive to the whole ethos of those songs, but i know you all really wanted them so i’ve begrudgingly put them on itunes lol.”
Music, Fashion, Film was released on Friday, accompanied by the online premiere of the theatrical short film Charli developed to complement the project.
She will begin a short North American tour supporting Music, Fashion, Film in Philadelphia on Sept. 11. The run will then visit Brooklyn, Toronto, Boston, Washington, D.C., Atlanta, San Diego, Los Angeles, Glendale and Las Vegas.
