SUMMARY:Sled Island and Servus present: billy woods + guests
DESCRIPTION:billy woods\nWhether founding a record label\, writing a childr
 en’s book\, or forming rap supergroups\, billy woods has an experimental\
 , entrepreneurial touch that has influenced the world of underground hip-ho
 p for decades.  \nbilly woods introduced himself to the world in 2003 wit
 h his lo-fi rap mix tape Camouflage. Released on his DIY record label Back
 woodz Studioz\, this album featured extensive collaboration with Vordul Meg
 a of Cannibal Ox. His first fully solo record\, The Chalice\, came one yea
 r later\, and it’s been all gas no brakes ever since. He’s released nin
 e solo albums to date\, his most recent being 2025’s Golliwog\, a menaci
 ng batch of abstract hip-hop that earned rave reviews from Exclaim! and 
 The Guardian. \nOn top of his prolific solo efforts\, billy is one-half of
  the rap duo Armand Hammer with ELUCID\, with which he’s dropped seven st
 udio albums and numerous mix-tapes of East coast-flavoured rhymes. Not to b
 e outdone\, he also records as Super Chron Flight Brothers with Priviledge\
 , and is a member of rap supergroup\, The Reavers. \nBeing the son of a Ma
 rxist intellectual from Zimbabwe and a Jamaican English teacher\, it comes 
 as no surprise that billy’s writing is dense and literary. The narrative 
 complexity of his rhymes are matched by the unconventional\, uncompromising
  approach he has to production. This is an artist who is unafraid of the mo
 re confrontational sides of songwriting. \nWith a deep discography and an 
 increasingly rare sense of integrity in his craft\, billy woods is a true o
 riginal\, with a bumpin’ live show that is not to be missed. \nImportant
