For the record, Armand Hammer was not named after a person. It's Arm and Hammer but decided to write it as a name for a variety of reasons, not the least of which was it looked cooler.
In retrospect, Brass was the unlikeliest of albums . It could not have happened before it did, and unlikely it would have happened after. Especially in the form it took.
On June 10,
@elucidwho
’s new solo LP
#IToldBessie
drops on Backwoodz Studioz. This album is the culmination of everything we knew was coming from the moment we started working with him.
Preorders are available now! -
Today we are happy to announce AKAI SOLO’s (
@shinlonered
) first full-length with Backwoodz Studioz,
#SpiritRoaming
. This project has been over a year in the making, during which time AKAI focused on crafting a masterpiece.
Coming 11.11.22
@rapmusicplugpod
That's the song that turned the lights back on. The first attempt at writing after Cape Verde
If not for Essex making that beat while mans was sleeping on his couch, ready to quit, who knows if any of this happens
This Cavalier album is the annual reminder that
@QuelleChris
is a phenomenal producer. We all know this but it gets forgotten because he is such a great rapper, and because he is so quiet with his production work, sometimes you have to check the liners

Stealing the show on an Armand Hammer record is no easy feat. Doing it repeatedly is uncharted territory👀👀
Fire in the hole!!
#IToldBessie
, the new
@elucidwho
album is out now, along with a video for the leadoff single, “Spellling”. Yes, we are biased but still gotta say it's a masterpiece. You don’t have to take our word for it, go run it up on streaming. -
Aethiopes is available NOW! 🔊 -
More than two years since his last solo album, billy woods returns with a new LP
#Aethiopes
fully produced by Preservation (
@mondieumusic
).
Due to a new third party app which was allowing people to buy unlimited copies of the Shrines deluxe, we had to go back through orders, cancelling and restocking. If it sucked for you, trust, it sucked for us as well.
Armand Hammer is in Lincoln, Nebraska tonight and so is the Aethiopes vinyl
Sidenote; marijuana is illegal in the state of Nebraska, so definitely do not bring any to the show and give it to me. Thanks in advance.
The next ELUCID album we put out is going to be so good. Just really realized it today. Nothing is recorded or anything but the trajectory is clear.
*looks directly into the sun like Trump, chuckling softly*
The game within the game of an Armand Hammer project is trying to guess which songs ELUCID will actually turn in his verse for. Producers, rappers, engineers all wait with bated breath, losing BINGO cards in hand

Big ups to
@WillieGreen1
for his work on all our projects this year. Our records sound great because he is one of the very best at what he does. No matter how disparate the production styles, vocal approach or artistic vision, he consistently delivers. A true professional.

Today we are proud to announce the release of
#SpiritRoaming
, the new album from AKAI SOLO (
@shinlonered
), executive produced by billy woods. It’s a powerful statement of an album from an ascendant artist and we can’t wait to hear what y’all think.
It's funny/sad to see the Satanic Panic shit repackaged over and over.
Something about the idea of child molesting cults really allows people to suspend all disbelief. Looking for the boogeyman while the reality is it's our family members and family friends just like always.

This ELUCID & The Lasso record is something else. Madvillainy meets Electric Circus. Dwight Spitz meets Digable Planets. Rare that you hear something original and uncompromising that could still blow up
NYT really said Ghostface was "influenced" by MF DOOM smh. Why? Because after more than a decade after Ghost blew, he hopped on some recycled Special Herbs beats that M.I.C. had already ran through? Good list but that is an embarrassing inclusion
BILLY WOODS & SHRAPKNEL = BABYLON BY BUS
Calling all BWDZ vinyl heads, this newsletter is for you. Some of you have waited longer than others, but as luck would have it we have a bunch of vinyl titles ready to ship at the same time!
Labor of Love: ROME DELUXE REISSUE + HARAM TOUR + EXCLUSIVE MERCH:
Armand Hammer are touring this fall and to send them off we have re-pressed 2017's ROME as a 2XLP with instrumentals! Pre-order copies now on our site along with more original Haram vinyl.
@QuelleChris
It would be hard to argue otherwise
Longevity
Raps+Beats
Deep discography, with no flubs
A fistful of songs that transcend era +genre completely, and I would wager will simply be timeless pieces of work i.e. Alive aint Always living, Sudden Death, etc
So many great features
