GOLLIWOG is billy woods first album in two years preceded by 2023 s Maps his second collaboration with producer Kenny Segal. That nimble travelogue has 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
