Billy Woods "Today, I Wrote Nothing" 2xLP

10 year anniversary edition
Clear coke bottle color vinyl 

“I thought of the people before me who had looked down
at the river and gone to sleep beneath it. I wondered
about them. I wondered how they had done it—it, the
physical act.

I simply wondered about the dead because their days had
ended and I did not know how I would get through mine.”
—James Baldwin

When billy woods released Today, I Wrote Nothing ten years ago, it was an unexpected departure from a rapper who was just starting to make waves in the indie rap scene. After spending the earlier part of his career in the wilderness, woods had managed to crawl out of obscurity with the minor success of 2012’s History Will Absolve Me. Dour Candy, 2013’s collaboration with underground legend Blockhead drew accolades, which only increased with Armand Hammer’s debut Race Music.
