ELUCID Gets Gritty & Real On “REVELATOR”

by

ELUCID may turn some casual listeners off with his new album REVELATOR due to his wordy bars and chaotic production. But for those that want to stay and here what the underground New Yorker has to say, you are going to be rewarded. This is his third studio LP and its out under Fat Possum Records. ELUCID teased it back in August with a pair of singles, “INSTANT TRANSFER” and “SLUM OF A DISREGARD.” The former features his Armand Hammer co-star billy woods, who has another feature on the 15-song set. On REVELATOR, ELUCID is presenting pressing topics that relate to oppression, racism, violence, and more. One thing that all of these issues have in common is that all require a sense urgency to quell these societal dilemmas that plague everyone.

The frenetic and industrial production across REVELATOR exudes that tenfold, as does ELUCID’s delivery. It’s loud still in the midst all of the raucous happening around him so his messages don’t get lost. It’s really a perfect balance and it’s got us thinking it’s going to be an album of the year candidate when it’s all said and done. There’s still about two and a half months left, but it’s certainly cemented in our top 10 if not top five at the moment. You owe it to yourself to hear what ELUCID has to say and offer in terms of sounds. So, check it out with the links below.

ELUCID Ups The Weirdness & Unconventionality On “THE WORLD IS DOG”

by

ELUCID (E L U C I D) is aiming for another one-of-a-kind listening experience with the release of “THE WORLD IS DOG”. This is the third single from the New York City rapper in the last month or so, and it’s also going to be one that lands on a new album. REVELATOR will be his second LP of the year when it hits streaming platforms on October 11 as he already dropped off We Buy Diabetic Test Strips. That was his collab record with billy woods that dropped in February. However, it was also Armand Hammer’s seventh tape as a duo. ELUCID is not done working with billy though, as they will have two more songs together on REVELATOR.

We got one of them already in “INSTANT TRANSFER” alongside “SLUM OF A DISREGARD” which were singles one and two. So far, ELUCID is aiming for a real dystopian like atmosphere for this upcoming LP. There’s lots of distortion thanks to the erratic nature of the production and flows. “THE WORLD IS DOG” has more of that, as ELUCID raps in spoken word with great ferocity. As far as the beat goes, there’s a sense of chaos with its industrial and fast-paced drum patterns. Finally, in terms of the theme, it’s pretty loose as well. But it seems like ELUCID is aiming to focus on arrogance and being able to live a life that he wants and he’s not going to let anyone dictate it.

The Alchemist Produced Armand Hammer’s Entire Upcoming Album, ‘Haram’

by
Armand Hammer / Alexander Richter

The Alchemist is in the midst of something of a renaissance, producing a string of highly-regarded projects for the likes of Griselda Records’ Conway The Machine and Gary, Indiana drug rap avatar Freddie Gibbs, as well as songs for Action Bronson and Denzel Curry & Kenny Beats. Hitting the ground running to open the new year, the LA-based producer has announced his next full-length collaboration. This time around, he’s contributing his unique brand of soulful menace to the lyrics of Armand Hammer, the duo consisting of New York rappers Elucid and Billy Woods.

The new album is called Haram, and it’s due on March 26 via Backwoodz Studioz. Fronted by a striking cover — a pair of freshly butchered pigs’ heads — the album features guest appearances from Curly Castro, Earl Sweatshirt, Kayana, Quelle Chris, and more. It arrives just about nine months from the release of their last project, 2020’s Shrines, which likewise featured many of the above collaborators as well as Nosaj, Pink Siifu, and R.A.P. Ferreira. However, Haram will be Armand Hammer’s first project entirely produced by just one producer.

You can pre-order Haram here. Check out the tracklist below.

1. “Sir Benni Miles”
2. “Roaches Don’t Fly”
3. “Black Sunlight” feat. KAYANA
4. “Indian Summer”
5. “Aubergine” feat. Fielded
6. “God’s Feet”
7. “Peppertree”
8. “Scaffolds”
9. “Falling Out The Sky” feat. Earl Sweatshirt
10. “Wishing Bad” feat. Curly Castro & Amani
11. “Chicharrones” feat. Quelle Chris
