Billy Woods and Elucid’s Armand Hammer unite with The Alchemist for the nightmarish and lyrically-sharp “Sir Benni Miles.”
“Dreams is dangerous, linger like angel dust, ain’t no angels harboring, ain’t no savin’ us,” spits Billy Woods, his flow somehow dexterous and methodical at the same time. “Ain’t no slaving us, You gon’ need a bigger boat / You gon’ need a smaller ocean, But here’s some more rope.” Elucid steps in for the second verse, firing off a staccato burst of dense lyrics designed for repeat listens. “Workin’ on my posture, I’ma slap box Judge Mathis and Judge Wapner,” he raps. “Hot stuff, crockpot all rocked up, lockstep / Everything for sale except for the scale.”

QUOTABLE LYRICS
It’s ill, but you’re like krill in that cold deep
Alcohol seep out the pores like gills
Air squeeze out the ocean floor
Leviathan swim with open jaw
