I just finished my first listen. Early thoughts for now, I'll just say I am very pleased. Alc came into their world fr.
Sir Benni Miles, Peppertree, Stonefruit. They're the ones.
Gone ahead and copped the CD, I want that lyric booklet and art.
Idk, for me Rome is my favorite project and Paraffin is the only vinyl i've ever purchased in my life. So I'm hoping Haram somehow surpasses both
so if it wasn't for Earl we wouldn't have had this album
"Al, how long have these guys been on your radar, and how did the collaboration come together?
Alchemist: It was pretty much Thebe Kgositsile, better known as Earl Sweatshirt. He’s always putting me onto new stuff. I actually felt stupid, like I was under a rock for not knowing about them. I’d heard a verse from woods on an Evidence-produced joint with Mach-Hommy one time. So that’s what started my interest. Then I started digging into each of their catalogs individually, and as Armand Hammer. Their videos… anyone I put onto them, they have the same experience I did: they hit me up later like, ‘Damn.’ To me, at this point in my career, it’s fun to have that feeling of finding something I didn’t know about, and being able to put other people onto it, like, ‘Check this s*** out, this is the highest level of art.’ It started with me and woods talking; I reached out to him first, and was just like, Yo, I’m a fan,’ and we started building little by little."

Yup. Major props to Earl always for the fact that he chose to reach out and collaborate rather than just go the easy route and bite styles. Especially considering the success and status he carried at that stage of his career.

Two of the very best out. Incredible discographies both as Armand Hammer and solo, you've got a lot of great music to dig into.
Elucid is getting better with every project and I love it. He's fitting these beats like a glove.
