Armand Hammer are back with “The Gods Must Be Crazy,” the third and final look at their upcoming album We Buy Diabetic Test Strips. Check out the El-P-produced track below.
ELUCID and billy woods and name drop figures from Henry Kissinger to Harry Belafonte to Beyoncé in the single, which features rolling, mechanical percussion and a repetitive bass line. In terms of energy, the track sits somewhere in between heated first single “Trauma Mic” and the experimental “Woke Up and Asked Siri How I’m Gonna Die.”
“woods and ELUCID have something special going and I am happy we got together on this jam,” El-P said of “The Gods Must Be Crazy.” “I think we made a banger.”
We Buy Diabetic Test Strips is out this Friday, September 29th, via Fat Possum Records, and pre-orders are ongoing. In October, the duo will embark on a North American/European tour. Tickets to their North American shows are on sale here.
El-P’s last album with Run the Jewels was 2020’s Run the Jewels 4, but according to Killer Mike, RTJ5 may be coming soon. In the meantime, you can catch an El-P feature on Killer Mike’s new solo album MICHAEL.
