Video animation by: Big Flowers Intro/Outro beat by: BLOODBLIXING The Plug (0:21). The Interview (3:14). "I'ma keep it real with you, it's the things you can't undo/The past, the black Rubik's cube" "Payback always inexact but I be squinting over measuring spoons" For most artists, lyrics like this would universally be regarded as their all-time best moments. But for artists like billy woods though… lyrics like this are a dime a dozen… they're literally just Verse 2 off of a song called "Hangman". The praise being thrown the way of NY-based rapper, label head of Backwoodz Studioz, and 1/2 of Armand Hammer… are plentiful, and growing in their fervor. After a string of releases that involved high-profile names such as Moor Mother and The Alchemist in late 2020 / early 2021, billy woods rode this surging wave of acclaim surrounding his music, and delivered two legacy-defining works back to back in 2022. This put the finishing touches on what is, in my humble opinion, the greatest 5-year run in hip-hop history. From 2018 onward, we got Paraffin, Hiding Places, Terror Management, Shrines, BRASS, Haram, Aethiopes, WHT LBL, and finally, Church. And if that wasn't enough, his Backwoodz Studioz camp has added to the flurry of incredible forward-thinking art during this time period, through the emergence of E L U C I D, ShrapKnel, AKAI SOLO, SKECH185, and more. Yet here we are, in May of 2023… and billy woods has done it again. Teaming up with Kenny Segal for a second time, woods has released his latest masterpiece, Maps... and he's here today on the show, to talk about his experience creating this record, his writing style and the frequent themes found in his work, Armand Hammer, the legacy of Backwoodz, and so much more! If you're familiar with me and this show so far, you know how I feel about woods. You know I had to make the most of my opportunity speaking with the GOAT. You won't wanna miss this... Staying grounded amidst growing acclaim (4:52). The concept of ‘survivor's guilt' as it relates to woods' career and life in general (9:41). The legacy of Backwoodz Studioz (16:18). Working with E L U C I D as Armand Hammer (19:50). New Armand Hammer album later in 2023 (24:49). woods' writing process and a breakdown of “No Hard Feelings” (25:46). The key ideas underpinning the creation of Aethiopes (33:10). Love and relationships in woods' music (47:44). woods' mind state creating Maps (53:13). How Maps differs from Hiding Places (59:34). Working with Kenny Segal (1:01:48). Breakdown of the ending to Maps, and how fatherhood has impacted woods' music (1:19:42). Upcoming work to expect from woods and Backwoodz Studioz (1:30:07).

A mix by Joseph Sannicandro (@thenewobjective) that will be played at Cinema Politica (www.cinemapolitica.org) screenings as people gather for the projection. Below is the track listing: Soundtrack Politica mix by @thenewobjective Accompanying image from the documentary: Whose Streets? https://www.cinemapolitica.org/film/whose-streets Two things I love: hip hop and soundtrack music. More specifically, New York hip hop and Italian soundtrack music, which form the basis of most of this mix (with a few west coast tracks thrown in for good measure). In recent years there's been a newfound appreciation for soundtracks and library music, but hip hop producers have been digging those gems for decades. MCs are amongst the best contemporary storytellers, though they don't often get enough recognition in that respect. And in my opinion, we have been witnessing a new golden age in New York hip hop, so I've mostly selected songs released in the last few years to highlight the excellent work being done today. There are a good number of instrumental cuts here, but where there are rhymes they often have political and spiritual significance that might resonate with the films screened at Cinema Politica. I also aimed for close to gender balance on the voices heard on this mix. I gravitated towards tracks that tell a story and tracks that sample soundtracks, and tie it all together with a few choice cuts from soundtracks themselves.

Then, the bros welcome Brooklyn-bred rapper AKAI SOLO to the program. Spirit Roaming, AKAI's latest release on the venerable Backwoodz Studioz label was described by Pitchfork as "impassioned soliloquies and elaborate sample arrangements, rendered with impressive precision." In this interview, AKAI breaks down how Spirit Roaming came into to being and the guidance he received from billy woods during the process. He also talks about his approach to rap, friendships, and life generally. Disclaimer: the zoom was glitching in spots during this interview, but it's still really good.

Video animation by: Big Flowers Intro/Outro beat by: BLOODBLIXING The Plug (0:21). The Interview (2:10). Not only are topics like philosophy, spirituality, knowledge of self, difficult things to learn in and of itself... it's an entirely different challenge to be able to communicate these topics with clarity. Not to mention with grace and humility to boot. Today's guest, AKAI SOLO, does just that. Something I told AKAI, and what bares repeating, is that an idea sounds simple when it is presented in his music. He's that special. With a fresh, and raw rap style that is reminiscent of Vordul Mega, and that's not my words… that comes from the Backwoodz Studioz head honcho himself. On the topic of Backwoodz, this artist joins the growing list of amazing artists dropping their best projects to-date. Since AKAI just released the beautiful Spirit Roaming just a couple of weeks ago, ne of the absolute best projects of the year, period. This conversation was as insightful as you'd expect it would be with an artist like AKAI. Enjoy! AKAI's writing process (4:59).  How AKAI characterizes his style of rap (16:13). What AKAI's music stands for (20:17). AKAI's creative connection with Navy Blue on True Sky (28:26). AKAI's mentality that he employs when approaching his career (31:49). AKAI on being mindful of not alienating the audience (37:07). The key inspiration behind the creation of Spirit Roaming (42:40). The sound of Spirit Roaming (51:02). The importance of woods executive producing Spirit Roaming (54:38). How it feels being part of the Backwoodz Studioz run (1:00:47). AKAI's new album coming soon (1:05:36).

(Go to 0:49 to skip the intro) AKAI SOLO and Navy Blue joined forces to create the highly-anticipated True Sky, a record that is surely to scratch your lyrical itch. AKAI explores themes of knowledge of self, spirituality, liberation from oppressive structures, and liberation from the ways modern society controls people mentally... which serves as the lens that AKAI uses to make observations about those around him, and society as a whole. AKAI has an intelligent mind clearly, but most importantly knows how to get his point across in highly original ways that makes what he's saying that much more impactful. He knows how to balance poetic word choices, with tangible clearly articulated ideas that make his lyrics digestible, even if the subject matter is heavy. Navy laces AKAI with sample-based instrumentals that are exquisitely jazzy, glitchy, heavily incorporating horns, saxophone, which all make this album feel very grand. That being said, what True Sky really crystallized for me in Navy's production, is the mechanical nature of it all. The drum patterns and choice of percussion are arguably the most interesting aspects of Navy's production for me. The mix of the modern hi hats and 808s, alongside super strange rhythms make for a very interesting combination. This Navy Blue mix of sound gives these often repetitive looped samples of string and brass a certain knock and head-nodding rhythm, due to these intricate drums that are on just about every single track.

Gifted wordsmith AKAI SOLO joins us to talk about his project with Navy Blue entitled True Sky. AKAI also shares thoughts about the importance of honesty in his work, as well as the process behind his writing, and his love for Kid Cudi and the first installment in the Man on the Moon trilogy.

The one-year anniversary episode of the program features new material from Pilgrim Screw, James Brandon Lewis, Blod, FACS, Susan Alcorn, AKAI SOLO & Navy Blue, PRIVAT and more.We also have the debut of the program's “BOOK CLUB” feature , with the first tome reviewed being Tim Donaghy's 2009 best seller, “Personal Foul : A First Person Account of the Scandal that Rocked the NBA “. It's been called, “the book the NBA doesn't want you to read,” and with that in mind, instead of dishonoring the memory of NBA commissioner David Stern, we'll instead catalog OTHER books the NBA doesn't want you to read, including but not limited to “Are You There God?, It's Me Margaret”, “The Secret Life of Cyndy Garvey” and Chuck Zito's “Street Justice”. But there's also about two hours of music, as I reman concerned most of you lack the intellect or attention span to hang in there with for an extended literary discussion.

My guest this week is Brooklyn-based rapper AKAI SOLO. We talked about childhood trips to Barnes & Noble that turned into trips to the theater, our mutual appreciation for the movie Drive, how a soundtrack can change your opinion of a movie, rappers who rap really well about one subject, the similarities between Black Dynamite and Deadpool, and the creative process behind his latest album True Sky, produced entirely by Navy Blue. True Sky is available everywhere music is sold, streamed, or stolen.
