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 2012s History Will Absolve Me. Dour Candy, 2013s collaboration with underground legend Blockhead drew accolades, which only increased with Armand Hammer s debut Race Music.
