hat hier eigentlich jemand das "Race Music"-Album von Armand Hammer (Elucid und Billy Woods) angehört? für mich in den Top 2 des Jahres

Umhauen tut's mich nicht, aber ein gutes Album, vor allem "Black Ark", "Willie Bosket" und "Where The Wild Things Are"

Was ist deine Nummer 1 des Jahres wenn man fragen darf?

Diese Menge an Begeisterung hatte ich für "History Will Absolve Me", das haben alle Diskussionspartner damals in den Himmel gelobt und ich hab nicht so ganz verstanden warum...

L'Orange & Stik Figa - The City Under The City

Die Beats von L'Orange habens mir seit inzwischen eineinhalb Jahren angetan, ich warte ja noch drauf bis ich mich daran satt höre

Today, I Wrote Nothing is the first billy woods solo material since 2013’s Dour Candy, his critically acclaimed collaboration with New York City producer Blockhead, itself a follow-up to woods’ sprawling 2012 masterpiece, History Will Absolve Me.

Still, in keeping with woods’ modus operandi, Today, I Wrote Nothing stands apart conceptually from previous work. The album is a collection of short songs and vignettes that form a cohesive meditation on life’s journeys and death’s hiding places.

Elucid, woods’ partner in rap duo Armand Hammer, makes several guest appearances, as does fellow Backwoodz Studioz labelmate Henry Canyons. Equally close to home is the production, provided by a mix of longtime collaborators and friends: Willie Green, Blockhead, Messiah Muzik, Elucid, Steel Tipped Dove, Junclassic, DOSG4W, and Busdriver & Aesop Rock. Additional cameos are by L’Wren, Curly Castro, and DJ Mo Nicklz.

Over this shifting beat collage, woods tirelessly weaves stories and myths in his own inimitable style. The result is a hard-driving road trip of a rap album—music loud, windows down, weight in the trunk. Today, I Wrote Nothing is a powerful statement by one of the genre’s most interesting voices.
