Biography

Armand Hammer, an American hip hop duo from New York City consisting of Billy Woods (vocals, lyrics) and Elucid (vocals, production), formed around 2013. Their debut mixtape Half Measures was released in September 2013, followed by their first studio album Race Music in October the same year. The album received critical acclaim, with Tiny Mix Tapes describing it as "a potent record about life, art, sex, drugs, politics, and violence," and The Village Voice including it on the "10 Best New York City Rap Albums of 2013" list. In 2014, they released an EP titled Furtive Movements. Subsequent studio albums include Rome (2017), Paraffin (2018), and Shrines (2020). Paraffin was particularly well-received, appearing on multiple "best of" lists from outlets such as PopMatters, Stereogum, Pitchfork, and The A.V. Club. In 2023, Armand Hammer released their sixth studio album, We Buy Diabetic Test Strips, featuring production from various artists including JPEGMAFIA and El-P. Following the release of BLK LBL in 2024, the duo collaborated with The Alchemist on Mercy (2025).
