Ankith Woods is rap’s answer to emotional whiplash. Hailing from Michigan, he fuses Detroit-style beats with blunt, hilarious lyricism and Gen Z existentialism. There’s a scene on his new album – Ankith Always Trippin’ – where it feels like you’re watching someone unravel mid-Instagram post. The new collaborative tape between rapper Ankith Woods and DJ/producer RJ Lamont feels like the soundtrack to a panic attack in a strip club bathroom—bizarrely specific, yet deeply relatable. Whether he’s joking or venting, or both, Ankith Wood’s voice is unmistakably his own.
