William J. Sullivan’s “Good Fences Make Good Neighbors (feat. Zilla Rocca)” Is a Suburban Parable in Sonic Form

“Good Fences Make Good Neighbors” by William J. Sullivan, featuring underground rap veteran Zilla Rocca, is a gritty, genre-defying statement piece that punches hard with lyrical weight and sonic texture. Taken from Sullivan’s upcoming album Just Call Me Bill, the track is a hazy, distorted commentary on adulthood, suburbia, and the invisible walls we build both literally and emotionally.

Sullivan, whose production resume includes names like Phoebe Bridgers, Rosalía, and Denzel Curry, flexes his multi-genre prowess here. The song is a swirling mix of raw live drums, crunchy lo-fi guitars, and pulsing 808s. 

It feels heavy but strangely liberating aggressive without being angry. Zilla Rocca’s verses are razor-sharp, capturing the disillusionment of moving from city chaos to suburban isolation. “You take that lifelong angst and hair trigger with you,” he raps, anchoring the track in harsh truths wrapped in suburban tranquility.

There’s tension in every corner of the mix, mirroring the social commentary in the lyrics. It’s the sound of two artists pulling from lived experience, old notebooks, and deep collaborations. “Good Fences Make Good Neighbors” isn’t just a song it’s a boundary-pushing thesis on modern life.
