billy woods has already been riding high after dropping one of the strongest albums of the year, and he clearly isn’t slowing down. His new track Complications finds him teaming up with producer August Fanon and fellow wordsmith Aesop Rock for a cut that feels tailor-made for all three artists.
This is one of those songs where the chemistry is obvious from the jump. Woods and Aesop weave dense, sharp verses that play off each other’s styles, while Fanon lays down a somber, atmospheric beat that gives the whole track a moody weight. Nothing feels rushed. Nothing feels wasted. It all clicks into place in a way that fans of this lane of rap will instantly appreciate.
If you’re into layered bars, left-field production, and that heavy, reflective energy, Complications is a must-spin. And with woods and August Fanon connecting like this, it’s hard not to hope they’ve got more on the way.
