Billy Woods - GOLLIWOG (2025)
GOLLIWOG stands as a haunting and complex exploration of horror, history, and identity. billy woods crafts a surreal soundscape that intertwines elements of horrorcore with incisive social commentary. The album delves into themes of systemic oppression, inherited trauma, and existential dread, all delivered through woods' dense and evocative lyricism. Collaborations with producers like The Alchemist, EL-P, and Kenny Segal contribute to the album's unsettling atmosphere, blending dissonant strings, ambient textures, and fragmented beats. Critics have lauded GOLLIWOG for its daring thematic content and innovative production, marking it as one of the most compelling releases in contemporary hip-hop.
