AJCollins knows jack shit about wordplay. For sure has a RTJ hoodie.

4.0 excellentGene Gol-Jonsson CONTRIBUTOR | January 10th 21

A brutally honest and bare wordy rap album. It mostly is a little alienating to listen to, after all its production and lyrical delivery sounds hostile. But credit where it's due, the skill and mastery here is on point.

One of the better hip-hop releases of the year so far, but still not living up to the potential I see from this project

strong raps against chill beats, a little jarring for me

Armand Hammer is one of those underground rappers that has always been fairly low on my list of favorites (also MF Doom) even though so many people love their music. In general, the flow to me is so boring to listen to, the instrumentals never give me enough to continue listening, and most features never sound good enough with them to warrant it. The duo of Billy Woods and EUCLID see fit to drop their fourth full-length album and for me, it is their strongest project yet. This is the first time where all the features bring a lot of great presence and everyone sounds solid together. Also, many of the beats are more interesting and diverse than what is common in an Armand Hammer project. However, the tracks that don?t have a feature are the most underwhelming to me and I have a really hard time getting into the dense lyrics when the instrumentals and flows put me to sleep. In conclusion, there is a great reason to listen to this album and to this duo if you are looking for some heavy lyrical content based on politics, philosophy, and metaphysics. But, for me, it?s still as boring as their other records, but their strongest to date.
