Ankith Woods Connects with RJ Lamont on New Album

In a rap ecosystem where virality often outpaces vision, Ankith Woods is doing something rare: being genuinely unpredictable. On his new album ‘Ankith Always Trippin’, a 14-track collaboration with Detroit club staple RJ Lamont, Ankith refines his niche of hyper-aware, emotionally fried rap for the post-Bladee, post-BabyTron generation. His music is absurdist, yes—but it’s also oddly tender. The Michigan rapper has built a reputation for absurdist humor and vulgar punchlines laced with sharp self-awareness. But beneath the punch-drunk delivery and digital-age references lies an aching vulnerability. Even his DJ sets are a performance art piece—curated chaos for “Lana Del Rey fangirls who want to feel like they’re at a strip club while studying.” What sets ‘Ankith Always Trippin’ apart is the chemistry with RJ Lamont. Lamont’s crisp, punchy beats ground Ankith’s emotional whiplash, allowing songs to bounce between satire and sincerity without losing momentum. One moment you’re laughing at a ridiculous bar, the next you’re struck by a line that feels ripped from an unsent iMessage. Backed by co-signs from cultural tastemakers like 1900 Rugrat and NFL stars like Rayshawn Jenkins, Ankith isn’t chasing acceptance—he’s demanding attention on his own terms. No label. No boundaries. Just a kid from Michigan trying to make sense of life through chaotic poetry.
