"Church" is the new project from billy woods , produced entirely by longtime Armand Hammer collaborator Messiah Musik . The album is a tightly wound exploration of memory and faith, marijuana and fate, the price of love and the cost of doing business. Equal parts memoir and sativa-tinged fever dream, "Church" moves from Jamaica, Queens to Trelawny, Jamaica, Chernobyl to Morningside Heights without missing a beat. Guests include ELUCID ( Armand Hammer ), AKAI SOLO , Fat Ray ( Bruiser Brigade ), and Fielded . As we stand now in the twilight of prohibition, "Church" is a dedication to those who thrived, died, or barely survived under its long shadow—an ode to a city that is long gone and to old friends whose real names we never knew.
