billy woods continues to build anticipation for his upcoming album GOLLIWOG with the release of “BLK ZMBY,” a dense, brooding track that reunites him with longtime collaborator Steel Tipped Dove. Known for pushing the boundaries of abstract hip-hop, woods taps into his trademark blend of cryptic lyricism and off-kilter production to craft another unsettling, thought-provoking listen.
Following the release of “Misery,” which already set a dark, cerebral tone for the LP, “BLK ZMBY” digs deeper into the surreal sonic world woods is shaping. The title itself evokes themes of erasure, survival, and displacement — subjects the New York MC has tackled throughout his career, but here they feel even more distilled and urgent.
GOLLIWOG, set to arrive May 9, marks billy woods’ 13th solo effort and promises to be one of his most expansive projects yet. The production roster is stacked with heavyweights like The Alchemist, Conductor Williams, DJ Haram, and of course, Steel Tipped Dove. Feature-wise, he’s bringing in Armand Hammer partner E L U C I D, Bruiser Wolf, and Kenny Segal among others, creating a collaborative atmosphere primed for innovation.
As “BLK ZMBY” proves, billy woods isn’t just rolling out another album — he’s building a world. With each track, GOLLIWOG looks more and more like a tour through the surreal architecture of his mind, where history, politics, and identity collide in unpredictable, powerful ways.
