Westside 2

In June 2020, Moses released his new mixtape Westside 2, a follow up to the first installment which featured Future (rapper), Metro Boomin, and Young Thug. Westside 2 is out via ArtClub International, Empire, and Moses’ label N.W.B. It features Eric Bellinger and N.W.B. artist Waseem.^[26]

Ayana Rashed, Respect-mag.com contributor, wrote about Moses' release:

Westside 2 is led by “Really Out Here,” a cutthroat record with tenacious lyrics that Moses has been known for since inception, proclaiming that he’s really what he raps about and is a respected member of his community.
He switches his flow on “FWU,” a track with longtime collaborator, Grammy winning songwriter/singer Eric Bellinger.
The sensual lyrics with a Drake-inspired reference is about affection toward a love interest.
Moses links up with his N.W.B. artist Waseem twice for the gritty “Stop Playin” and the boasty “Lear,” where both rappers are going back and forth on the beat, the latter being a classic West Coast cruising record.
Westside 2 ends with “What They Want” a powerful track and visual depicting what we are going through today.
Released just last week, the ominous production allows Moses to drop potent lyrics depicting the struggles of minority people as he says “lock us up we don’t know nothing,” and constantly asking the self-reflecting question “what they want from you” to honor the lives lost due to police violence, including the late George Floyd whose death has caused international uproar and an uprising of many people across the nation.^[26]
