“billy woods's outstanding 2023 album Maps was a travelogue filled with food, weed and backstage shenanigans — a far-ranging tour around both the world and woods's singular psyche. But if Maps blew the doors wide open, GOLLIWOG retreats back into a haunted house of creaks, moans and ominous voices, sounding a bit like the spooky soundscapes of 2022's Aethiopes and spiritually evoking the crumbling”
“Billy Woods writes a horror movie on the daunting GOLLIWOG”
“Irreversible, unavoidable self-destruction at the foot of power is a tale as old as humankind, but rarely is it captured so poignantly, or as comprehensively, as on the Brooklyn MC's latest.”
“The Brooklyn rapper’s new solo album is a twisty horrorcore masterpiece where history and nightmares are indistinguishable. The spooky backdrop is a perfect showcase for his craft.”
“one of the most engrossing, unnerving records you’ll hear this year”
“An evocative, unnerving, and somewhat choppy project from billy woods.”
