History Will Absolve Me

by Billy Woods

History Will Absolve Me cover art

A dense and abrasive entry in the underground hip-hop canon, 'History Will Absolve Me' confronts issues of race, politics, and survival with visceral intensity. Billy Woods delivers complex, cryptic lyricism over jagged, industrial-tinged production that refuses to cater to mainstream sensibilities. The album is a claustrophobic yet compelling examination of societal decay.
