The peerless Shane Ingersoll delivered an all-timer for "California Games" , taking all four artists on a vintage video game rollercoaster ride. He has a bunch of great videos under his belt, but this one might already be the favorite at Backwoodz Studioz .  From the album #mercy by ‪ @armandhammernyc ‬ & ‪ @alanthechemist ‬ out 11/7/25 from ‪@backwoodzstudioz ‬ distributed worldwide by ‪ @rhymesayers ‬ & ‪ @secretlydistribution ‬   Written, Directed, and Animated by Shane Ingersoll ( / shane_ingersoll ) featuring ‪ @EarlxSweatshirtMusic‬

Armand Hammer and The Alchemist build worlds. Their first was Haram and it remains locked in orbit, equal parts lush and foreboding. Their new one is called Mercy and it’s made out of blood and empire, children’s laughter, unpaid parking tickets, and unkept secrets. Rappers ELUCID and billy woods are joined on the mic by Earl Sweatshirt , Quelle Chris , Cleo Reed , Pink Siifu , Kapwani , and Silka . Mercy by Armand Hammer & The Alchemist

"Calypso Gene" serves as a deconstruction of imperfect memories and the paradoxical loaded metaphor of water as both a source of spiritual cleansing and a demarcation of militarized borders. Featuring vocals from Silka and Cleo Reed , its collage of rippling jazz piano and phantom spirituals amplifies the tension between bleak realism and the unknowable mystic.  From the album Mercy by ‪ @armandhammernyc ‬ & ‪ @alanthechemist‬ coming out 11/7/25 on ‪@backwoodzstudioz ‬ and distributed worldwide by ‪ @rhymesayers ‬ & ‪ @secretlydistribution ‬

Almost a decade later the pair aim to capture the love, loneliness, hope, and resignation that reverberates through every sand-in-the-hourglass moment of “Born Alone” .  Order/Stream GOLLIWOG here: http://ditto.fm/golliwog
