billy woods / Kenny Segal 'Hiding Places'

'Hiding Places' is the haunting result of a collaboration between Brooklyn rapper billy woods and LA producer Kenny Segal, pairing surreal lyricism with intricate, mood-heavy production. Released by Backwoodz Studioz, the album balances woods’ dense, introspective storytelling with Segal’s warped jazz loops, ambient textures, and grounded percussion. Together, they craft a record that feels claustrophobic yet spacious—anxious, poetic, and disarmingly raw.

The chemistry between both artists is undeniable. Segal’s dreamlike beats push deeper into shadowy territory, while woods delivers some of his most direct writing to date—wry, brutal, and steeped in unease. Featuring guest appearances by ELUCID, Self-Jupiter, and MOTHERMARY, 'Hiding Places' is as much a psychological map as it is a rap record. It’s the sound of two veterans navigating ruins, where every verse and loop hints at shelter—but nothing ever stays safe for long.
