Mach-Hommy Drops Ethereal Project, “Notorious Dump Legends: Volume 2”

March 3, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Haitian-American rapper Mach-Hommy just released his latest project, the short but sweet Notorious Dump Legends: Volume 2. Moreover, the album is effectively a collaborative effort with Tha God Fahim, as he appears on almost every track here. Still, it’s well within the boundaries of excellence, skill, and vision you’d expect from Hommy. Overall, it’s a cohesive and succinct collection of somber production, grounded lyricism, and creative sample-based beats.

If you haven’t heard of Mach-Hommy, he’s one of the architects behind Griselda who’s blossomed a mysterious and cult favorite career of his own. While his affiliation with the Buffalo rap collective’s been on and off for the past few years, he reconciled with Westside Gunn a couple of years ago. As a result, he forms part of that same style while distinguishing himself as an idiosyncratic artist.

Mach-Hommy’s Notorious Dump Legends: Volume 2

For example, his critically acclaimed 2021 album Pray For Haiti saw him rapping in creole, honoring his home, and delivering even more abstract verses and beats than his more hardcore counterparts. Also, Hommy’s one of the more prolific rappers in the game at the moment, at least when considering his caliber. He dropped six projects last year between long-form releases and EPs. With his skill and dedication to making art in mind, we wouldn’t be surprised to cover new releases from him many more times this year.

Jay-Z’s Latest Tidal Playlist Highlights Mach-Hommy, MF DOOM, And Vince Staples

December 2, 2021 by newhiphopnews

Jay-Z’s playlists on Tidal have become a tradition of sorts, not just allowing him to stay in touch with fans — something he obviously cares very much about, judging from his recent drop-in on Twitter Spaces — but also to show off his musical knowledge, which he also seems to care about a lot.

His latest list has arrived to commemorate the renaming of financial services tech company Square to Block, as soon-to-be-former Twitter CEO and Square co-founder Jack Dorsey announced on Wednesday this week (after roasting Facebook’s re-brand, no less). Square also recently purchased Tidal, which helped Jay-Z secure a seat on Square’s board of directors. Therefore, the new playlist, “Block Vibes,” is a celebration of the change, of sorts, as well as an interesting marketing ploy, introducing the new name and demonstrating synergy across the new brand, which also encircles Cash App.

The list once again showcases Jay’s expansive tastes, including up-and-coming rappers like Mach-Hommy and Vince Staples, backpack rap stalwarts Madlib and MF DOOM, eclectic bands Haitus Kaiyote and Khruangbin, and rising Afrobeats stars Tems and Wizkid.

In addition to being folded into Block’s overall corporate structure, Tidal also recently revamped its artist payment system and added a free tier to allow for ads and better payouts to the artists that make the business all its money.

It’s been nearly two years since Kaytranada released his sophomore album Bubba, which featured Sir, Goildlink, Tinashe, VanJess, Masego, and more, gave the Canadian producer his first Grammy awards for Best Dance Recording, thanks to “10%” with Kali Uchis, and Best Dance/Electronic Album. Just as he did in 2019, Kaytranada is gearing up to end this year on a high note, as he announced a new EP, entitled Intimated, will arrive next week. He also shared the features listeners can expect on it.

The EP only has three songs, one featuring HER, another with Thundercat, and the last one with rapper Mach-Hommy. Kaytranada confirmed that Intimidated will arrive on November 19. The track with HER, titled “Intimidated,” will make for their second collaboration, after they previously joined forces for “Bloody Waters” from HER’s debut album Back Of My Mind. It’s also a song that featured Thundercat, which makes “Be Careful,” from the upcoming EP, his and Kaytranada’s second collaboration. Lastly, “$PayForHaiti” is Kaytranada and Mach-Hommy’s first track together.

As for what’s next, Kaytranada is set to headline Lightning In A Bottle’s 2022 festival. He joins a guest list that includes Glass Animals, Purity Ring, Little Simz, Empress Of, and more for a festival that stretches over five days.
