Westside Gunn “Heelmatic”: New Album, “Zilla,” Tracklist and 2027 Tour Details
Westside Gunn has announced HEELMATIC, a 16-track album due November 13, 2026, via Griselda Records and Mass Appeal. The rollout opens with “ZILLA,” a Denny LaFlare-produced single whose video was filmed in Egypt and places Gunn near the Great Pyramid.
The project arrives alongside plans for Heel the World Tour 2: “Still Healing”, which begins in Brussels on January 30, 2027 and is scheduled to continue across the UK and Europe through February 21 in Copenhagen. Together, the album and tour mark Gunn’s next major release cycle after 2025’s Heels Have Eyes trilogy.
HEELMATIC arrives November 13
Pitchfork reported that HEELMATIC will be released on November 13, 2026, through Griselda Records and Mass Appeal. At 16 tracks, it is a full-length follow-up to the run of three Heels Have Eyes projects Gunn released in 2025.
According to HipHop-N-More, the release is also Gunn’s first connected to Mass Appeal. The available announcement details establish the label connection and album scale but do not confirm guest appearances or a broader producer list; Gunn’s song titles, however, continue the heel-themed language that has framed his recent work.
That continuity matters to the campaign’s presentation: rather than positioning the new album as a clean break, the title extends a vocabulary already central to the 2025 trilogy. The November release date also gives the project a clear runway before the European and UK dates announced for early 2027.
“ZILLA” launches the campaign from Egypt
The campaign begins with “ZILLA,” the first song released from HEELMATIC. Produced by Denny LaFlare, it arrives with a video filmed in Egypt that features Westside Gunn near the Great Pyramid; AllHipHop reported those details.
Stereogum’s confirmed tracklist includes “Egyptian Cadillac,” but the reporting does not establish a narrative link between that song and the video. It also does not identify additional production credits beyond LaFlare’s work on “ZILLA” or list any featured artists, making the single the only specifically credited musical preview so far.
The 16-song HEELMATIC tracklist
Stereogum published the confirmed 16-song HEELMATIC tracklist. It runs from “Grant Heel” to “Upstate Farm” and includes the newly released “Zilla.”
- “Grant Heel”
- “Blowdysseus”
- “Zilla”
- “Koke Slam”
- “Sock A Knee”
- “Don Pistola”
- “Martin 4sese”
- “Tommy Heelfiger”
- “Hurt + Heel”
- “Price Choppers”
- “Egyptian Cadillac”
- “Bottom Bunk Legends”
- “Bavettes”
- “Giant Leather”
- “The Bastard Pac”
- “Upstate Farm”
Moving between heel references, place-based imagery and character-like phrasing, the titles retain the dense, allusive naming style associated with Gunn’s catalog. The confirmed tracklist, for now, is the guide to the album’s shape; the announcement reporting does not assign themes, collaborations or individual credits across the full sequence.
Heel the World Tour 2 opens in Brussels
Gunn will take Heel the World Tour 2: “Still Healing” to Europe and the UK beginning January 30, 2027, in Brussels, Belgium. The announced run concludes February 21 in Copenhagen, according to Ghettoblaster Magazine.
The itinerary places the live run roughly two and a half months after HEELMATIC’s November 13 release. No additional venue, ticketing or support-act details are established in the supplied announcement coverage. What is confirmed is the route’s opening city, its UK and European scope, and its February 21 endpoint in Copenhagen.
With “ZILLA” now leading the release campaign, the next confirmed milestone is HEELMATIC’s November arrival, followed by the Brussels opening of the 2027 tour.
