Last week, billy woods and Elucid teased a new album from their duo Armand Hammer, We Buy Diabetic Test Strips, with some postcards that revealed the tracklist. Today, they’re officially announcing the album, which has a sick list of collaborators. Production credits include JPEGMAFIA, EL-P, Kenny Segal, DJ Haram, Black Noi$e, Preservation, August Fanon, Steel Tipped Dove, Child Actor, and Sebb Bash. And there are featured guest spots from Pink Siifu, Moor Mother, Curly Castro, Junglepussy, Soul Glo’s Moneynicca, and Cavalier.

Here’s some scene-setting for the album from Armand Hammer:

We Buy Diabetic Test Strips is a Midsummer’s night in Brooklyn, the stage busy with Gods old, new, and unborn, the orchestra pit thick with weed smoke. Memories, true and false, tangle like wires. Afrofuturists rewind analog answering machines. Brownstones line empty streets on quiet nights where even outside the Men’s Shelter, they pass cigarettes in silence. Street sweepers rattle the morning, broken hovercrafts sent from the past to do nothing at all. People move out of the building in the morning and move back in at dusk, excited to get settled in their old place. Dropped calls fall into the ether, the cracked mirror in your pocket is past warranty but not to worry, they have already mailed you a replacement.

Lead single “Trauma Mic,” which features Pink Siifu, is brash and clamorous, and was produced by DJ Haram. Check it out below.
