Maps is the second collaborative album from NYC rapper Billy Woods and LA producer Kenny Segal, released through Backwoodz Studioz in 2023 as a follow-up to their widely acclaimed 2019 record Hiding Places. The album brings together an impressive roster of guest artists including Danny Brown, ELUCID, Aesop Rock, Quelle Chris, ShrapKnel, Benjamin Booker, and Samuel T. Herring of Future Islands, making it one of the more ambitious projects in either artist's catalog.
Thematically centered on travel, displacement, and the search for belonging, Maps explores what it means to make a home on the road while longing for somewhere else. Kenny Segal's production takes on a noticeably lighter, more expansive feel compared to their previous collaboration, with Billy Woods delivering his characteristically sharp and layered lyricism over beats that feel fresh and unhurried — the result is a record that rewards repeated listening and stands as a compelling chapter in both artists' bodies of work.
