am once again blown away by another Billy Woods project. I expected this to be the case because Hiding Places was my favorite of his up to this point, but I really admire the lighter tone (albeit still very sardonic) of this record compared to the rest of his catalog, which in no way diminishes the potency of his observations and storytelling.
The subject matter of songs like Red Dust from Woods' previous albums provides an emotional nucleus that inherently lends itself to compelling storytelling, but I feel it takes an even defter hand as a writer to take a more mundane topic like touring and create something so poetic
Segal's production here is also fairly reserved compared to Hiding Place but no less compelling, it reminds me of the LA beat scene from the early 2010s particularly stuff like Shlohmo's Bad Vibes but with more of a bittersweet quality

album is fantastic. his third in 13 months. it's honestly astonishing to watch billy operate at the level he does and continue to elevate throughout the years. Feel like it's been particularly evident in these last three solo projects.

Canβt wait to peep this.
Billy Woods raps like heβs a black spiritual medium for all the shytty, pretentious white rappers of the early 2000s.

Lol
The way I'm running, should be kissing babies and glad-handing
I'm running routes, trees, and patterns
I'm walking in the streets 'cause the rats is madness
Veneers on the teeth like, "nikka, we made it"
Wreathed in gas, I'm a carburetor
Every time things going good or having a laugh
Have to remember God's a hater
Crocodile Tears for ten years plus, don't do me no favors
Here we go
