Armand Hammer just surprise-released their new album 'Snakes & Ladders.' billy woods and ELUCID wrote and recorded the project last winter, and it's "both thematically and sonically neck-snapping—not exactly Jungian but certainly unafraid of self-contradiction, considering the knotty conundrums of modern life with bleak humor and cutting social analysis," according to a press release. The production comes from a wide array of musicians including Preservation, clipping., Kenny Segal, Animoss, and Saint Abdullah & Eomac, with features from DJ Haram and $ilkmoney. The duo is on tour now, wrapping up November 15 at Music Hall of Williamsburg with Sideshow, Mike Ladd, DJ Haram & Sha Ray, Kenny Segal, and Curly Castro.

NEW ARMAND HAMMER LP 🐍🪜 SNAKES & LADDERS OUT NOW! Surprise drop. Plus the album as a playable board game — only 800 made. GET ALL THE DETAILS 👇mailchi.mp/backwoodzstudioz/… Snakes & Ladders is the eighth studio album from ELUCID and billy woods, collectively known as @ArmandHammerNYC. If there was ever a sense that these two might rest on their laurels, every moment of Snakes & Ladders is a repudiation of that notion. As always with these guys, the new work is sonically, lyrically, aesthetically, and emotionally different from what came before it. Here the heady, contemplative Mercy gives way to vibrance and violence. This is an album of the now, in all the senses of the word. Production-wise, woods and @cobratoof are joined by names familiar and new. But with the help of @WillieGreen1, the album’s sound is so seamless you would be excused for thinking there was a single hand behind it all.⁠ Production credits go to @mondieumusic, @clppng, @ANIMOSS_, @KennySegal, @sebbmode, Mekala Session, @chldactr, Saint Abdullah & Eomac, @THERAVADA, @jeff_markey , @MessiahMusik and @steeltippeddove.⁠

🎵 Mike Ladd's NONECHOSEN Album & 🎥 Movie OUT NOW! Happy Friday, friends; we are here to put an exclamation point on what has been quite a week. If you are on this mailing list, you already know about Nonechosen, the exhilarating new project from Mike Ladd, and exactly why his return to the scene is such a big deal to us. What you may not know is that this is not just an album; it's an entire audiovisual experience! It's incredible, so we hope you check it out, and if you purchase the album, you will also be able to access the movie On-Demand. Mike really went above and beyond with this release; the visuals really just add to what is already an incredibly powerful artistic statement. 🤓 mailchi.mp/backwoodzstudioz/…

Begin all things by giving thanks to THE ALL. Happy DOOMSDAY!!! Another year has passed, and we celebrate the anniversary of Dumile’s transitioning on October 31, 2020. Many transitioned that year and I’d like to take this moment to celebrate everyone that has gone before us. We have not forgotten you and we cherish the time we spent with you. Always in our hearts and always on our minds. To Dumile, it’s been six years since you had to leave here, and your presence has not diminished. You were ahead of your time, and so many of the things you showed us are still just now coming to light. I will always celebrate your life, wisdom and legacy. Always remember never forget. Not the first, not the last, and definitely not the only. Solutions only. Always with love, Jasmine

"DOOM’s legacy keeps growing because he was ahead of his time. His music is timeless to me and so many others, which is why so many different communities continue to champion his work. I wanted to express that legacy through body language. In this image, he’s sitting like a king, absorbing his accolades and engulfed in adoration, looking back at the journey." - @sanfordgreene Sanford Greene has been a professional illustrator for over 20 years, providing work for major companies like Marvel and Warner Brothers.
