Haram

About

"Haram" is the fifth studio album by American hip-hop duo Armand Hammer, in collaboration with hip hop record producer the Alchemist. It was released on March 26, 2021, via Backwoodz Studioz. The "ALC Records" version of the album includes a 15th track, an instrumental song titled "Moneylender." The album's artwork depicts two decapitated pig head, and received criticism from animal rights group PETA, labelling it as both "terrifying" and "cruel", even telling the Alchemist to change it: "Focus on the music, not the shock value of dead animal." billy woods responded in interviews basically calling out their hypocrisy, stating that PETA adds used similar pictures to raise awarene. The album was announced at the start of March, 2021, but there would be no supporting singles until the album fully dropped, outside of a 30-second preview of "God's Feet" which they released on their YouTube. The next day, the opener "Sir Benni Miles", received a music video, premiering alongside the rest of the album. May 14, saw a video for the closer "Stonefruit," a fan and artist favourite. June 3 saw the release of the video for "Falling Out the Sky," which had easily become the most popular release by not only Armand Hammer but their respective solo career, of course boosted by Earl Sweatshirt, who is deeply associated with 2010s superstars like Tyler, the Creator and Frank Ocean. .
