Album is fire, Armand Hammer records aren't quite as consistently great as Billy's solo stuff, but they can't miss with Alc. It's wild to me that they've become one of his "regulars"

If you described Billy's career to me in 2005 when I heard him for the first time rhyming with Vordul on the Reavers project, weirdly I would have believed you, the potential was already there and I could see it. But if you told me the same thing in 2010, he had lost my interest so badly with the Super Chron records that I would have just laughed. What a crazy trajectory.

EDIT: it occurs to me that I should carve out some time to go back and listen to the Super Chron records again. I might like them now, you never know. Privilege is so wack to me though

I mean, they're some of the only people he has multiple full albums with, he produces on their other group projects and solo records, and they've appeared on some of his solo records. I feel like he does a lot with them, but I guess not as much as Boldy or a few other guys.

I feel like we agree here? There are certainly a few folks Alc has worked with more, but not many, and it definitely seems like a solid, ongoing, regular creative relationship at this point, no?

It's just a surprising development, and very cool

Oh, my bad bro. I thought I read you say that it's surprising to you that they have not become regulars. I read you wrong. I thought you meant they don't work much together

Gonna give these doods another try, they remind me of cannibal ox. That calypso gene joint moves my spirit.
