For years now, the New York rapper billy woods has been on an absolutely historic run, both as a solo artist and as one half of Armand Hammer. In 2019, woods teamed with producer Kenny Segal on a truly great album called Hiding Places. Next month, they’ll follow that LP with a new one called Maps. When woods and Segal announced the album a few weeks ago, they didn’t share any music or even any details.

On first single “FaceTime,” woods and Segal team up with Future Islands leader Samuel T. Herring.
