Read moreBilly Woods feat. Aesop Rock & Homeboy Sandman – Wonderful [Audio]
“Wonderful” land on Billy’s upcoming LP, “Known Unknowns”. “Known Unknowns” is Billy Woods’ new album, a follow-up to 2013’s Blockhead collaboration “Dour Candy”. Blockhead is still behind the boards here but there are also a couple beats from his longtime collaborator Aesop Rock. But the center of the whirlwind is still woods, who re-emerges from a two-year hiatus after releasing the avant-garde “Today, I Wrote Nothing” in early 2015. “Known Unknowns” finds the artist on more melodic ground, but still his esoteric, acerbic self, spinning verses equal parts joy and terror, wry wit and blind rage. There are guest appearances from ELUCID (Armand Hammer), as well as Aesop Rock, Homeboy Sandman, Googie, singer Barrie McLain and DJ Mo Niklz. Since Dour Candy, Blockhead has worked with Aesop, Sandman and MarQ Spekt but “Known Unknowns” shows that he and woods have developed their own unique chemistry. Press play on “Wonderful” below.

Read moreBilly Woods – Blue Dream [Audio x Download]
Off “History Will Absolve Me” out now. A song that, according to Woods, was inspired by “the end of a long relationship, the movie Blue Valentine, and this period I went through where I seriously contemplated whether I wanted to quit smoking weed.” The beat, produced by Man Mantis, sets the mood with a hypnotic sample and reverb-heavy drums, aided along by singer L’Wren’s haunting vocals on the song’s chorus. woods, pulling from the concept of Blue Valentine, gives his take on a relationship, focusing only on the relationship’s beginning and end. But even as things start smoothly, woods hints at issues, rapping, “I’m hoping you don’t ask the wrong questions/ I really don’t wanna start lying.” The song takes a firm turn towards the darkness in the second verse, as woods raps, “So much unsaid/ We only keep it real when we’re joking… Somewhere along the line/ We stopped trying and started going through the motions.” [audio:http://www.trackblasters.com/downloads/Billy_Woods-Blue_Dream.mp3] Download here
