Billy Woods

Sunshine was the track with Aman Omari, a very down Los Angelino propaganda and soundtrack on that song as well.

We had Open Mike Eagle and Kenny Seagal with Billy Woods, another former Sled Island artist from the release.

Doomed, we heard.

She Swear, I'm Colorblind.

I've got a bunch of different favorites that I'm inspired by every once in a while.

I mean, like I said, Doom, Billy Woods, too, from a lyric layering standpoint.

I've been listening to a lot of Aesop rock recently.

Okay, very good.

Yep, yep.

Really love Billy Woods, artist out of New York.

And also Moore Mother.

She's another great hip-hop artist who I love.

Redo the picture, Tony.

Billy Woods.

Um, “My walk away tomorrow is Arch at 70% completion.”

There you go.

My guest this week is New York-based engineer, producer, and college professor Willie Green.

We spoke about Spider-Man, Brand New Day, and all things MCU, Jaws, Transformers, picking up a love of music from his uncle, what it means to produce, mix, and master a record, his history with Billy Woods and Backwoods Studios, the history behind his greenhouse recording studio, and the creative process behind his album Doc Savage, the 10th anniversary remaster of which is out now.

Come fuck with us.

I can imagine it's really hard to get work done in the studio with kids running around.

Right.

But it all has threads that kind of glue it together and make it part of this larger thing.

And that's how I think about a lot of records, even early Billy Woods albums, Super Crown albums.

You know, he would have one song on the album or something like that.

I think that I think about an album the way a director thinks about a movie.

But I also think the same thing is true about Billy Woods and Rap Ferreira and Q-Tip.

You know

what

So it was like 105 degrees outside that morning.

We thought we had figured out all this stuff for Woods's face, but we hadn't really in the, it blew up at the last second.

So it was like the morning of me and the band arrived like an hour before Woods and Chaz and Woods told me he would buy like a ski mask on the way there at like this, uh, military supply store that we knew about.

But then I called him.

He was supposed to already be there.

I feel it.

And speaking of, Doomed by Open Mike Eagle and Kenny Siegel is out everywhere now.

Maps and Hiding Places with Billy Woods are out everywhere now.

That song was called Pistola.

Before that, played a couple from Billy Woods from his masterpiece from 2022, Atheopes.

That track was called Asylum and the track after it was called No Hard Feelings.

Before that was Erykah Badu, somewhat of a remix, MF Doom mashup, whatever you want to call it, of her track Apple Tree.

guy's name.

For Billy Woods and Elusive to even be on that joint

is kind of crazy.

Yeah, it's crazy.

I'm gonna say, I'm in a real boring bag right now.

Go ahead.

I'm like, I'm probably gonna say 95% of what I've been listening to has been Arm & Hammer, Billy Woods, Elusive.

That's really all I've been listening to for the last two weeks.
