Roy Woods
Like mentor and fellow Toronto native Drake, Roy Wood$ pursues a moody and atmospheric fusion of R&B and rap and frequently comes across as a sullen hedonist, though his approach is less pop-oriented. His 2017 debut album, Say Less, generated multimillions in streaming numbers, and he followed with a series of stand-alone tracks and the 2020 EP Dem Times. His sophomore long-player, Mixed Emotions, appeared in 2023, followed by Rolling Stone (2024).Within the span of one year, the singer, songwriter, and occasional rapper born Denzel Spencer in Brampton, Ontario, signed to Drake's Warner-supported OVO Sound, premiered on the boutique label's radio show, and released his debut EP. Issued when Spencer was 20 years old, that six-track set registered at number 27 on Billboard's R&B/hip-hop chart, boosted by the Drake-assisted single "Drama." Waking at Dawn, Wood$' first full-length mixtape, followed in July 2016, synchronized with a U.S. tour beside Drake, Future, and labelmates dvsn. The album debuted at number 30 in Canada and at number 11 on Billboard's Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart. An EP titled Nocturnal was out by the end of the year. In November 2017, Wood$ appeared on PnB Rock's "Low Key" around the same time PnB was featured on Wood$' own "Balance." The latter was among the tracks that led to the December release of Wood$' official debut LP, Say Less. The set broke into the Top 100 of the Billboard 200 and featured additional guests Jessie Ware, dvsn, and PartyNextDoor. Wood$' output was limited to singles in the years immediately following Say Less, but included songs like 2018's "Russian Cream" and the 2019 Martin Solveig collaboration "Juliet & Romeo." In 2020, the new EP Dem Times surfaced, and that year Wood$ also worked on material alongside Tm88, Swagger Rite, and Wiz Khalifa. Over the next two years, Wood$ released new songs "Touch You," "Speeding," and "Insecure," all of which appeared on his sophomore full-length outing, Mixed Emotions, in 2023. The seven-song Rolling Stone was issued in 2024, with 03 Greedo guesting on the song "Nobody Else."
