billy woods has announced a new album titled GOLLIWOG, which is set to land May 9 on Backwoodz Studioz. It’s led by the eerily hypnotic two-minute track ‘Misery’, which was produced by Kenny Segal. Check it out below.
GOLLIWOG, the follow-up to woods’ 2023 Kenny Segal collaboration Maps, features production from El-P, the Alchemist, Shabaka Hutchings, Conductor Williams, DJ Haram, Preservation, Steel Tipped Dove, Messiah Musik, Sadhugold, Willie Green, Jeff Markey, Saint Abdullah, Human Error Club, and Atmosphere’s Ant. Guests on the record include billy woods’ Armand Hammer bandmate ELUCID, Bruiser Wolf, Despot, Cavalier, al.divino, and Yolanda Watson.
“When I was nine years old, I wrote a story about an evil golliwog,” woods said in a press release. “My mother read it and told me it was overly derivative and needed some work. Here we are.”
