Deep in the spins on this new woods and Moor Mother track. Makes me feel like I'm in a small riverboat on a winding Amazon jungle river heading out to meet an ancient tribe.

In other words, s***s great

Police Came to My Show is crazy

"Police came to my show tonight, paid the cover price
Soon as I seen em I knew something wasn’t right
Plainclothes but the nose knows, ya boy don’t doze
No matter how the dro go ya boy stay woke
Ain't hard to tell
Empty venue and you gettin paid off of door sales
Drain pale ale
'Mo, you good to go? Let’s get this coffin nailed'
Top hat and tails
Tap shoes case I have to make bail"

Something so tragic about this song, like he's laughing through the fear

Wtf why have I never heard this lol

Pretty sure it’s a mixtape bro

16 tracks I haven't heard tho just an interesting find

Yeah there's some decent stuff in there. Only probably spun it 2 or 3 times in full though tbh. Always interesting to see how their chemistry has developed

It's been quite a journey so far

woods, man...

ToT: Have you ever been witness to someone’s door getting broken in? You’ve made a few different similar references in past rhymes.

billy woods: Yes, one time when I was living in D.C. a long time childhood friend who’s since been deported, let’s just say he chose our guests very poorly on a regular basis…They were men of ill repute and one day after they left, the cops showed up and forced their way into the apartment much to everyone’s chagrin. Suffice to say I did not sleep at that apartment again.

mood

Bro that's on point lol.

This thread killed me

“Your whole tape is a 40 degree day, PB&J”

I might like woods more than Mach damn

On 383 mrytle what does billy mean when he says?

Shakespearean vengeance

A lot of Shakespeare’s plays climaxed with some revenge/resolution. woods might be referencing that poetic justice or irony of some kind

Peace? Not this evenin’
It’s not even close to even
No rhyme or reason, just open season
Just watch, seeing is believin’
They won't believe till there's nothing to believe in
He said it wasn't me, we didn't believe him
It's all wearing thin, simple lime and gin till the coupe brim
The suit was wearing him
It's another word hidden inside ’chagrin’

The arc is long but it do bend

Hearing this live was a special moment. Easily one of my favourite beat switches.

Damn that must’ve been crazy you met them right?

That second beat sounds like falling into another dimension

Yup. Great great show. Everyone literally went silent for his verse on the beat switch.

Think that show live is probably part of why Paraffin is my number 1 of theirs.

The Fuhrman Tapes switch too was/is wild.

Kinda annoyed I met them when I did. Was a big fan but not as huge as am now. Would have so many more questions now haha.

Rest assured, there's curtains at the ending

Like Marchisio said, Shakespeare's tragedies ended in death and ruin.

New interview

jugoandrada.com/2020/07/20/billy-woodz-interview/amp/?__twitter_impression=true

I bet. I’ve been watching some live footage of them and that’s on the bucket list. And I feel that. After listening to Shrines a bunch, I still feel like Parafin is their best atm.

That s*** still must’ve been crazy

Messiah Muzik gotta be the most underrated producer. Shocked I've never really seen him in credits outside of Backwoodz stuff. Just now learnt he did 'Seizure' for Rome Streetz.

Looking through his credits now and got so many of my favourite beats:
Hyssop, The Eucharist, Windhoek, Ecomog, Carnies, Warmachines, Cloisters, Soft Places, etc...

Crazy list
