Audiopile Review: After the runaway success of 2023’s Maps, the second collaboration between billy woods and Kenny Segal, Backwoodz dips into the extensive back catalog of woods and reissues one of his most sought after LPs, 2019’s Hiding Places (originals were going for about $400!). While Maps was a rare...

Audiopile Review: If We Buy Diabetic Test Strips was Armand Hammer at their most explosive and otherworldly, Doves is the sound of everything unraveling—leaving behind only dust and echoes. This post-rap disassembly pushes the duo closer to the genre-defying territory of fellow hip-hop experimentalists Injury Reserve’s swan song By the...

Audiopile Review: Issued the year before their breakthrough album Haram, Shrines would be the last album from Armand Hammer as underground hip-hop's best kept secret. It’s also their first truly great, 10/10 full length, and the start of a run that has seen the duo become one of the most...

Audiopile Review: Backwoodz continues their slow drip of reissues of their formidable (and now very expensive) back catalog, this time landing on Billy Woods’ Known Unknowns, his 2017 album almost entirely produced by Blockhead. Issued several years before the recent explosion of interest in the Armand Hammer universe, Known Unknowns...

Over the past few years, the New Jersey rapper Fatboi Sharif has made a name for himself with a vivid, disorienting, utterly unique sound. Sharif, a Stereogum Artist To Watch in 2021, delivers mordant lyrics in a stretched-out, theatrical mutter, and he favors eerie, experimental, minor-key productions. Sharif playful and...

Maps is the new album from NYC rapper billy woods and LA producer Kenny Segal, their first full collaboration since 2019’s Hiding Places. Four years after that landmark record, the duo have reunited with a vengeance. Maps is a story of the road, or roads, taken and untaken; of living...

An alloy is a mixture of chemical agents which forms a new substance that retains the characteristics of a metal. The mechanical properties of alloys often differ significantly from those of its individual constituents. It has been more than two years since ShrapKnel’s debut album, during which time the duo...

I Told Bessie is the third solo album from New York City rapper/producer Chaz Hall aka ELUCID. The title is a reference to his paternal grandmother, Bessie Hall, a powerful presence in his life until she passed away in 2017. From childhood afternoons running around her apartment in the Red...

Church is the new project from billy woods, produced entirely by longtime Armand Hammer collaborator Messiah Musik.

Aethiopes is billy woods’ first album since 2019’s double feature of Hiding Places and Terror Management.

History Will Absolve Me is the classic full-length album from billy woods, the Zimbabwean-Jamaican-by-way-of-Brooklyn rapper, who delivers a fragmentation grenade of an album. An explosive riot of bitter invective, evocative lyricism and daisycutter beats, History Will Absolve Me is a solid hour of hardboiled anti-nostalgia. The album features guest appearances...

In every arts community there are people who, despite being little known even to fans of the scene, are deeply embedded in its past and present. When it comes to NYC independent hip-hop, Joseph Fusaro aka Steel Tipped Dove is one of those people. Not only has he quietly made...
