In a couple of weeks, Armand Hammer and the Alchemist will follow their excellent 2021 album Haram with Mercy, their second collaborative LP. Mercy includes collaborations with some of Armand Hammer’s underground rap peers, including Earl Sweatshirt, Quelle Chris, and Pink Siifu. Last week, Armand Hammer and Alchemist shared lead single “Super Nintendo.” Their new single is one of the album’s collaborations, but it doesn’t feature any other rappers. Instead, “Calypso Gene” has vocals from the LA-based soul-jazz artist Silka and the New York multidisciplinary artist Cleo Reed.
