Billy the GOAT is fresh off a new drop – ‘Demon Time‘ and its been getting mad plays especially in his city B-Side. To some this might be the first time they’ve heard Billy and if their reaction is the same as the one at my mech’s workshop when it played over the radio then Billy is who he thinks he is.
Billy started making music in 2017 and went live with ‘THC’ to start the year. A mellow vibe, stoner music by a rap artisan. His skill as a rapper has never been in doubt. Billy mentions Eminem as a big influence and as part of the reason he got into music. Rap for him just stood out and is in his words “subjectively one of the best means of story telling”. Since his music debut in 2017 with ‘THC’ Billy has released 2 short projects ‘IT MADE MY DAY’ and most recently ‘POV’ which he released in May, 2022 and one mixtape ‘DUVEY’.
Nothing comes between Billy and a mic but going through a writer’s block is one of the things he says he has to deal with as an artist. Billy says, his greatest desire is it to make music and his favourite moments include seeing fans hyped over his music. “Its so wonderful to think about”, he said.
I asked Billy who he’d like to work with and only one name came up. YP. I can imagine it, picture Psycho YP on Demon Time and you’ll see why Billy’s head is where it’s at. Asked his favourite song at the moment he said two words. Demon Time.
