Dark, dense, and deliberately unsettling, Mercy reunites Armand Hammer-billy woods and ELUCID-with The Alchemist for another trip into hip-hop’s stranger corners. The production is murky and cinematic: fractured drums, eerie piano, warped soul, and dusty loops that leave plenty of space for two of underground rap’s sharpest writers. Challenging, hypnotic, and beautifully strange. The kind of record you put on for the production and end up staying for the words.
