Billy Woods – GOLLIWOG

Description

GOLLIWOG is billy woods’ first album in two years, preceded by 2023’s Maps, his second collaboration with producer Kenny Segal. 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.
