In 2018 Whitney released his 10th album, "N / O / I / S / E" (No One Is Safe from Evil). The album has a very dark and aggressive style and it deals a lot with self-harm, self-mutilation, agoraphobia, and many other issues Ghostemane has dealt with personally. N / O / I / S / E was released by surprise on 10th October 2018, as it was supposed to drop on 17th October of the same year.

Ghostemane Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm pimpin' on this all gold and leather
Stay sliding in the Grand Marquis
With them all gold teeth
You can buy no better
Now play the Mystic Pimp shit
Think you wanna change your career
Not a god damn thought in my brain
This chick Christina
Never fucking with a lazy rapper
Bitch, in the game I go ballistic
I'm a beast, you a beast but you hyped
And we never really hang
So keep your distance
I'm a one man gang with a Louisville Slugger
And you know I'm never missin'
There's way too much hate up inside
Everybody nowadays so I take no chances
Spending everyday all day in the pad
Don't talk to me
I'm constantly accomplishing everything
That I never wanted in the beginning
I want to live up on a mountain top
Without a worry of what kind of acid to drop
I'm thinking if I hit a high enough altitude
I'll be escaping the demons that
Lurk in my room, but I keep it cool
Shinigami got me thinking that I
Am an unlucky fool, but it ain't that
True, I'm lucky enough by the grace of
Whatever that I am not you
If you one of them motherfuckers
That be trying to prove
That you a thing but you ain't shit
Take a look at you
Bringing down everybody else's mood
Negativity inside i don't fuck with you

@Aldamane
Ghostemane never fails to impress
@IAmWhoTheGodsDetest
Miss these days of Ghostemane. He seemed more real back then. Still fuck with him, this sound was just so much more unique and hard hitting.
@skullsouljah2836
Now he's closer to metal
@lilskaters7
Sentirion Beats Very true! I’d even say his current music is his realest stuff. He worked his way up into the rap scene with his early stuff to get his music out there, and now that he’s pretty much locked that down, he’s fully expressing his unique sound. After all, he started off playing guitar for hardcore bands before he even started to rap.
@ju5t1n78
It sounds so close to $uicideboys bro.
I just discovered he had songs like this!
Idk when $b started using this type of music but Gm def has to have had some form of influence in that
@nose-bleed
The old songs 🖤
