Armand Hammer have shared the first preview of their forthcoming The Alchemist-produced album, Mercy.
The track, ‘Super Nintendo’, sees the duo of billy woods and ELUCID trade bars over a lilting beat and earworm of a synth line reminiscent of the video game sounds one might have heard from an old Nintendo console in the 90s. Listen to the song below.
Spanning 14 tracks, Mercy takes in guest vocals from Earl Sweatshirt, Pink Siifu, Quelle Chris, Cleo Reed, Kapwani and Silka. It’s Armand Hammer’s second album with The Alchemist, following 2021’s Haram.
The new record, a press release said, is “made out of blood and empire, children’s laughter, unpaid parking tickets and unkept secrets”. It follows 2023’s We Buy Diabetic Test Strips, as well as the two rapper’s recent solo albums: woods’ GOLLIWOG, released this past May, and ELUCID’s Revelator, released late last year.
Backwoodz Studioz will release Mercy on November 7, 2025.
