Billy Woods - Golliwog [CD] Golliwog is billy woods’ first album in two years, preceded by 2023’s Maps,his second collaboration with producer Kenny Segal. That nimble travelogue ha s 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. Tracks1. Jumpscare Produced by Steel Tipped Dove2. STAR87 Produced by Conductor Williams3.
