On Friday rapper billy woods and producer Kenny Segal will launch their new album Maps. It’s our reigning Album Of The Week, the follow-up to the duo’s 2019 stunner Hiding Places, and the continuation of an unimaginable run for woods.
As per its title, Maps regularly offers with woods’ life on the highway as a comparatively profitable touring rapper, together with on lead single “FaceTime.” The theme reoccurs on “Soft Landing,” a second single unveiled right this moment. Over Segal’s woozy lo-fi electrical guitar chords and gallumphing bass-bombed beat, woods describes his life in transit, rhyming Attenborough with “Joe Burrow” and dropping bars like “It could be nuclear winter with an earthquake/ The worst people’ll wiggle out the rubble/ Maybe suicidal thoughts was the every day struggle/ For a brief, sweet, moment it was nothing in the thought bubble.”
Listen beneath.
Maps is out 5/5 on Backwoodz Studioz.
