Westside Gunn Unveils an Artfully Curated Album Tracklist of Surprising All-Star Lineup “Still Praying”

Westside Gunn has been on a strategic mission to redefine what it means to keep his fans hanging. The Griselda star, known for frequently releasing music, is back with a more restrained approach, meticulously crafting his latest album, “Still Praying,” into something personal and communal driven. This time, it’s emphasizing quality over quantity, a mantra that’s seen the album pared down to 14 tracks, a shift from the expansive 21-track “And Then You Pray for Me,” Gunn is dialing in. Fans already know this album will hit deeper, cut sharper, and shine brighter.

On October 28, Gunn unveiled the “Still Praying” tracklist on social media, sparking fresh excitement among fans and fellow artists alike. His signature bold approach is evident in the music and his visual artwork as a lover of spectacle. The album cover features late wrestling icon Sid Eudy, a nod to Gunn’s love for wrestling and gritty nostalgia, setting the tone for what promises to be an impactful album.

But what turned heads this week was his unconventional approach to unveiling the album’s collaborators. “Still Praying” will feature collaborations with artists like DJ Drama, Boldy James, Rome Streetz, and a handful of underground heavy-hitters like AA Rashid, Brother Tom SOS, and WS Pookie. True to his theatrical style, Gunn didn’t pair these artists with their respective tracks, creating an air of mystery and a palpable sense of excitement who might pop up on each song. It’s like he’s building tension, inviting his audience to experience the album as an unwrapping, where each track becomes a new discovery. This approach reflects Gunn’s belief that art should unfold itself in layers.

Additionally, Griselda’s presence reminds us that Westside Gunn is never really alone in this. His Griselda crew will bring their A-game to the record, infusing it with their unique chemistry, shared history, and collective grit. With these guest appearances, it’s clear that the album has a sense of unity, a family affair bound by respect, loyalty, and a shared artistic vision.

After being released, fans and critics alike can feel that “Still Praying” is more than another Westside Gunn. It’s an album meticulously crafted to honor Gunn’s growth and evolution as an artist and pay tribute to the legacies he values. As the listeners prepare to dive into this lyrical puzzle, one thing’s for sure: “Still Praying” is set to enhance both Gunn’s artistry and his audience’s listening experience, one powerful track at a time.

Lil Durk Co Defendants OTF Dede and David Lindsey Seek Acquittal and New Trial

OTF Dede and David Lindsey are fighting their recent stalking convictions as the legal process in Lil Durk’s case continues to play out.

Lil Durk was facing five charges, two of them murder-for-hire related and three of them stalking related, while the two co-defendants were convicted on three counts of stalking in the same case. Durk was just cleared of all charges in that case a couple of weeks ago, but Dede and Lindsey didn’t get the same result.

The latest legal twist adds another chapter to a case that has remained tightly connected to Lil Durk’s ongoing legal troubles. Durk was acquitted in the initial murder-for-hire case, but his larger legal battle is far from over.

For Dede and Lindsey, the immediate issue is their stalking convictions and whether the court will grant either of the new requests filed. The couple’s pleas carry long prison sentences, and the pending motions are especially important for their attorneys.
The court has not ruled on the Rule 29 and Rule 33 motions, leaving the next phase of litigation uncertain.

Lil Durk, meanwhile, is set to appear in court on November 4 for a bond hearing. His trial in the VICAR case was scheduled for the next few weeks, but it is likely to be delayed.

Separate legal proceedings are now moving forward in the cases of Durk, Dede, and Lindsey, who remain active. Dede and Lindsey’s latest filings ensure that the group’s legal saga continues even after Durk’s acquittal in the original case.

Meek Mill steps back from his ongoing feud with DJ Akademiks,

Meek Mill and DJ Akademiks’ ongoing social media beef has taken another turn, with Meek seemingly getting the last word.

The two have been feuding for around a decade, and their tensions have become closely tied to the fallout from Meek’s beef with Drake. Following Akademiks taking Drake’s side in the public feud, Meek clearly didn’t want to be featured on Akademiks’ page. Since then, they have exchanged occasional messages and renewed disagreements.

The latest chapter heated up around the Lil Durk trial. Meek Mill called out Akademiks for his coverage and commentary on the case, saying he had become a bad influence on the culture.

Akademiks fired back hard, and the beef snowballed into a back and forth of threats between the two. At one point, Meek asked for Akademiks’ address, while Akademiks showed off an arsenal of machine guns and rifles. The confrontation had been really serious before apparently cooling off in recent days.

The message is the latest chapter in a long-running feud that has flared up several times over the past decade. This latest back-and-forth could be Meek’s attempt to close the door on the feud, but given the history between the two, tensions can flare up fast.
So far, it looks like Meek is putting a line under his part of the conversation. Only time will tell whether Akademiks responds.
