Background

Despite having the series' naming removed, 10 is the tenth installment in Westside Gunn's Hitler Wears Hermes mixtape series. It was reputedly the final installment in the series, [1] but was later followed by 11—an EP—in 2024, [2] and 12 in 2025. [3] Gunn posted the album's cover art on his Instagram on October 24, 2022, announcing an October 28 release. [1] On January 20, 2023, Gunn began his God Is Love Tour—his first international tour, which is named for a song on the album. [4]

The cover depicts Eastside Flip—a wheelchair-bound [5] cocaine-dependent homeless friend of Gunn from Buffalo, New York, who freestyles [6] —wearing $500,000 of diamond jewelry, including a bracelet, wristwatch and MF Doom chain, inside a bodega. [7] Flip also appears in the music video for "Super Kick Party", which he dances in. [5] [8]

Reception

Robert Blair of HotNewHipHop said "[10] is a project which reasserts the otherworldly artistic vision that Gunn possesses that made him into a phenomenon in the first place". [9] Dylan Hammock of the Baltimore Post-Examiner (successor to The Baltimore Examiner ) rated the album an 8.5/10. [10]
