The number 11 refers to the 11th edition of Westside Gunn’s mixtape series Hitler Wears Hermes. Because of controversial title West removed it and simply numbered the last two projects 10 & “11”. On this EP you hear Sly Green on 4 of the 5 songs. Green was a Buffalo drug kingpin who is personal friend of Westside Gunn. Sly Green became famous worldwide when Benny The Butcher used him as a title on one of his best songs (which appeared on Benny’s album with Hit-Boy Burden Of Proof. This is also not the first time we hear Sly Green on a track. We first heard him at the end of the song Kostas which appears on West’s album And They You Pray For Me. This song featured the original Griselda trio of West, Benny, and Conway the Machine. The sole feature on this project comes from Griselda poet Keisha Plum who is on Big Dump Ballad


Best Song = “UNKLE HOWDY”
