Backwoodz Studioz is excited to debut the first official single, "Body Of Work," featuring Masai Bey and Roc Marciano, from History Will Absolve Me, the new album from billy woods

The track, produced by Willie Green, is one of the earliest that the emcee and beatsmith recorded for the album, and billy woods grew immediately attached to the track upon hearing it live in the studio. "The inspiration for 'Body Of Work' comes from chain-gang spirituals," he explains. "All of the verses concern themselves with work, but also with getting older and trying to sum up one's life, for better or worse."

After laying his verse, woods knew he wanted features on the song, but he also know it couldn't be just anyone, given the weighty retrospective - and introspective - subject matter. "I knew I needed some older cats on it," notes woods. Each rapper builds on the themes that billy sets forth in the opening verse ("if you are familiar with the land issue in South Africa and Zimbabwe, the content of my verse might be a little clearer," says woods), and each add their own personal experiences and emotions, bringing the track to life with three unique and insightful perspectives.
