Details
An unsparing indictment of everything. A scratched CD-R ode to the crew of the last nuclear submarine. ROME,
the new album by ELUCID and billy woods as ARMAND HAMMER, is the sound of rats in the walls, fleeing.
Terrifying, hilarious, chaotic, sleek, violent, implacable, ROME is a feast of words, a stylistic demolition derby
over-production both layered and spare.
Those tracks come courtesy of August Fanon, Messiah Musik, Kenny Segal, JPEGMAFIA, Fresh Kils and High
Priest (Antipop), while appearances by Quelle Chris, Mach Hommy, Denmark Vessey and Curly Castro add to
an already potent mix. ELUCID and woods are two of the most vital voices in the genre – as distinct as they are
complementary – at the height of their powers.
