That nimble travelogue has little in common with woods’ newest work, despite the fact that Segal shows up a couple times in the credits. GOLLIWOG is a haunting collection that weaves horror, humor, surrealism and Afropessimism into a cinematic tapestry, aided and abetted by a murderer’s row of producers. African zombies, time traveling trap cars, malevolent ragdolls and a dying Frantz Fanon are just a few of the revelers in woods’ danse macabre.GOLLIWOG features production from The Alchemist, Kenny Segal, EL-P, Conductor Williams, Preservation, Messiah Musik, Sadhugold, Ant (Atmosphere), Shabaka Hutchings, Steel Tipped Dove, DJ Haram, Willie Green, Jeff Markey, Saint Abdullah, and LA-based experimental jazz trio Human Error Club. Meanwhile, woods is joined on the mic by Backwoodz labelmates ELUCID and Cavalier, along with rappers Bruiser Wolf, Despot, Al.Divino, and singer-songwriter Yolanda Watson.GOLLIWOG is another triumph in the woods oeuvre, as layered and compelling as anything he has ever done. A black carnival pitched in a muddy field overnight, empty rides whirring and clattering in the dark.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 06\/27\/2025\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailability : Pre-Order\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLabel: Backwoodz Studioz\/Rhymesayers Entertainment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Rap\/Hip Hop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"billy woods","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42460736028753,"sku":"SDNAMN-BO3V-00","price":35.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/5023\/8545\/files\/golliwog-2lp_PEzNx.jpg?v=1748312355"},{"product_id":"billy-woods-today-i-wrote-nothing-10-year-anniversary-reissue-2xlp-coke-bottle-clear-vinyl","title":"Today, I Wrote Nothing (10 Year Anniversary Reissue) (2xLP - Coke Bottle Clear) (Vinyl)","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhen billy woods released Today, I Wrote Nothing ten years ago, it was an unexpected departure from a rapper who was just starting to make waves in the indie rap scene. After spending the earlier part of his career in the wilderness, woods had managed to crawl out of obscurity with the minor success of 2012’s History Will Absolve Me. Dour Candy, 2013’s collaboration with underground legend Blockhead drew accolades, which only increased with Armand Hammer’s debut Race Music.Then, woods dropped out of sight for two years before returning with Today, I Wrote Nothing, a record that deviated significantly from what had come before. Where Dour Candy had been concise and focused, TIWN was a sprawling 24 tracks. Where History Will Absolve Me was anchored by hard-hitting beats, anthemic songs, and a couple high powered features, TIWN was comprised of short vignettes, quietly eclectic production, and the only guests were his Backwoodz label-mates. Only one video was released; the claustrophobic “Flatlands”, shot on a shoestring budget in a Brooklyn housing project. Reviewers didn’t know quite what to make of the record, and in many cases, neither did fans. As is often the case for woods’ albums, many perspectives shifted as the years passed. Listeners came to see the sad, quiet beauty of Today, I Wrote Nothing; a road trip album that doubles as a meditation on life’s journeys and death’s hiding places. The album’s power is in it’s intimacy, it’s insistence on holding your hand through the darkness. Now, TIWN is considered one of the more unique and vital records in woods catalogue. The dynamic woods created with TIWN vis-a-vis History Will Absolve Me and Dour Candy is one that would come to define his ouerve; constant experimentation, a refusal to be pigeonholed, and an unwavering search for the emotional heart of his subject. For us at Backwoodz, being able to repress this album on it’s ten year anniversary is especially sweet, because we remember how long it took us to sell that original run of 500. To everyone who copped one of those and helped us keep the lights on, this is for you too, we couldn’t have gotten here otherwise.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 8\/29\/2025\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailability : Pre-Order\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLabel: Backwoodz Studioz\/Rhymesayers Entertainment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Rap\/Hip Hop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"billy woods","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42878117052497,"sku":"BTCDKO-NF4Q-00","price":40.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/5023\/8545\/files\/today-i-wrote-nothing-10-year-anniversary-reissue-2xlp-coke-bottle-clear_nvSib.png?v=1755129167"},{"product_id":"billy-woods-today-i-wrote-nothing-10-year-anniversary-aniv-cd","title":"Today I Wrote Nothing (10 Year Anniversary) (Aniv) [CD]","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhen Billy Woods released Today, I Wrote Nothing ten years ago, it was anunexpected departure from a rapper who was just starting to make waves in the indierap scene.
