Westside Gunn and Halloween pair as naturally as turkey on Thanksgiving.

Despite previously hinting at retirement, Westside Gunn continues to prove he’s far from finished. The Griselda heavyweight has announced the third installment of his acclaimed series, HEELS HAVE EYES 3 (Trilogy), arriving October 31st — a fitting date for an artist whose dark, cinematic aesthetic aligns perfectly with Halloween.

Just a few months ago, in August, Gunn dropped HEELS HAVE EYES 2, featuring a stacked lineup that included Benny The Butcher, Stove God Cooks, and Skyzoo. That project continued his signature mix of gritty luxury raps and art-house production. Now, less than two months later, he’s back with the trilogy closer — an eleven-track release that promises to be just as unapologetically raw and creatively ambitious.

The upcoming album reportedly continues the wrestling-inspired theme, with tracks titled “MANKIND,” “TITO SANTANA,” and “GUS SMACKER.” Returning collaborators include Benny The Butcher, Stove God Cooks, and Rome Streetz, adding more Griselda firepower to the project.

For fans of Westside Gunn’s distinct artistic vision — one that blends fashion, wrestling, and street poetry — HEELS HAVE EYES 3 feels like the perfect Halloween treat. Go ahead and put your PTO in now.
