Haram

Album Notes & Community Reviews

On 'Haram', the first full-length collaboration between Armand Hammer and a single producer, The Alchemist provides a hazy and unsettling sonic landscape built from disembodied soul samples and cryptic, looping beats. This production cohesively frames the dense, metaphor-heavy rhymes of rappers billy woods and Elucid, whose jagged-edged deliveries explore themes of colonialism, power, and systemic oppression with visceral and unflinching intensity. The resulting album is a critically acclaimed work of art rap, noted for its avant-garde aesthetic and the seamless, foreboding interplay between its lyrical complexity and atmospheric sound.
