Armand Hammer + Gabe ‘Nandez

Armand Hammer — the group comprising rappers ELUCID and billy woods — and producer The Alchemist share "Super Nintendo," a reflection on bittersweet nostalgia set to a ribbony synthesizer figure and a barely-there percussive pulse. "Super Nintendo" is the first single from Mercy, their new album out November 7 via Backwoodz Studioz with global physical distribution by Rhymesayers Entertainment.

Armand Hammer and The Alchemist build worlds. Their first was Haram and it remains locked in orbit, equal parts lush and foreboding. Their new one is called Mercy and it’s made out of blood and empire, children’s laughter, unpaid parking tickets, and unkept secrets. Rappers ELUCID and billy woods are joined on the mic by Earl Sweatshirt, Quelle Chris, Cleo Reed, Pink Siifu, Kapwani, and Silka. The Alchemist did everything else.

For nearly a decade as a duo, and longer still as solo artists, Armand Hammer have left a palpable mark on modern rap and hip-hop. At turns both sharp-witted and soul-crushing, their lyrics unspool threads of socio-political, historical, and philosophical import with a potent blend of incisive critique, gallows humor, and narrative élan.
