Source-derived summary

10 (alternatively Ten, sometimes Hitler Wears Hermes 10) is the fourteenth mixtape by American rapper Westside Gunn. Released October 28, 2022, through Griselda Records and Empire Distribution, it received positive reviews from critics. It contains guest appearances from Armani Caesar, ASAP Rocky, Benny the Butcher, Black Star, Busta Rhymes, Conway the Machine, DJ Drama, Doe Boy, Ghostface Killah, Jay Worthy, Raekwon, Robby Takac, Rome Streetz, Run the Jewels and Stove God Cooks, among others.

Background

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

The cover depicts Eastside Flip (died September 3, 2026; aged 36)—a wheelchair-using cocaine-dependent homeless friend of Gunn from Buffalo, New York, who often freestyled—wearing $500,000 of diamond jewelry, including a bracelet, wristwatch and MF Doom chain, inside a bodega. Flip also appeared in the music video for "Super Kick Party", which he dances in.

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".

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The phrase “2022 mixtape by Westside Gunn” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.

Evidence profile

Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 5, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q135474545. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2022, 2024, 2025 and 2023.

Critical limits

A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
