Album Overview

The tape kicks off with Praise God Intro, featuring AA Rashid’s spoken-word wisdom, setting a spiritual and introspective tone before Gunn launches into Michael Irvin, a Conductor Williams-produced track named after the legendary NFL receiver. The Stove God Cooks collaborations (Jose Canseco, One More Hit, and Bubba Chuck) showcase Gunn’s knack for picking charismatic guest artists who match his raw, streetwise energy.

Midway through, the Sadhu Interludes and Minister Maino Skit create brief detours, providing abstract texture and cinematic pacing. Lil Cease brings in Armani Caesar, whose verse adds a refreshing dynamic to the album. The Benny and Boldy-assisted Buffs vs. Wires is a highlight, fusing Buffalo’s gritty rap ethos with Detroit’s street wisdom. Rome Streetz closes out the project on Steve Behr, bringing a polished, technical edge to complement Gunn’s abstract flow.

Flygod Is an Awesome God 2 is another strong entry in Westside Gunn’s prolific catalog. While not as thematically grand as Pray for Paris, it thrives in its raw, mixtape-style energy. Gunn continues to curate high-quality beats and collaborators, reinforcing why he remains one of the most consistent figures in underground hip-hop. The short runtime keeps the project tight, while the skits and interludes add to the immersive experience.

Standout tracks include Michael Irvin, Buffs vs. Wires, Jose Canseco, Bubba Chuck, Steve Behr
