Armand Hammer 3-Album Run w/ PremRock | Ep. 187

Welcome back to our series digging into the greatest three-album runs in hip hop history, and today we bring you some modern classics from one of the best rap duos putting in work – Armand Hammer.

 

We dig into the genius of billy woods and Elucid with rapper PremRock, travelling through 2017’s Rome, 2018’s Paraffin and 2020’s Shrines, looking at why this run is so special, and how it taps into the entire history of rap in just three records.

 

Featuring a ton of amazing guest contributions, from the likes of rapper Defcee, writer Ginger Slim, producer SonRaw, and the elite rap pod voices of Nate LeBlanc (Dad Bod Rap Pod), Dan O (Freemusic Empire), Rohan (The Rap Music Plug Podcast), and the Extraordinary Rap crew. Yep, this one be STACKED!
