With Mercy now out via Backwoodz Studioz, Armand Hammer (ELUCID and billy woods) once again prove why they’re among the most vital voices in modern rap. Reuniting with The Alchemist, the trio push further into the world-building that’s defined their work together, delivering an album that hits with the force of lived experience and the precision of master craftsmen.
Mercy arrives as a fully formed universe: layered, unflinching, and wide open to the voices that shape it. Earl Sweatshirt, Quelle Chris, Cleo Reed, Pink Siifu, Kapwani, and Silka all step into the fold, while The Alchemist’s production bends and twists around their verses like a character of its own.
For longtime followers, the album is another reminder of the duo’s unmatched ability to splice razor-sharp storytelling with dark humor and heavy truths. For new listeners, it’s a gateway into one of the most consistently boundary-pushing catalogs in hip-hop.
Both artists have been on a remarkable run, billy woods with the acclaimed GOLLIWOG, and ELUCID with his celebrated REVELATOR, and Mercy captures that momentum in full stride.
Armand Hammer will debut the new material live at The Button Factory next April, bringing the raw immediacy of the record to the stage.
