Last week, Armand Hammer confirmed the release of a new album, We Buy Diabetic Test Strips. Now, the rap duo comprised of billy woods and ELUCID have shared its Pink Siifu-assisted first single and tour plans for both 2023 and 2024 — including a pair of Canadian dates in Montreal and Toronto.
"Trauma Mic" is our hard-hitting first taste of the album. According to the duo, the song "snowballs, except instead of snow it's a neodymium magnet cascading down a mountain of discarded pig iron." It was produced by DJ Haram, who also stars in the music video co-directed by actor Tim Blake Nelson.
Aside from a pop-up performance in Brooklyn this weekend, Armand Hammer's tour proper will begin on October 10 in Kingston, NY. After US and international dates take them through the remainder of 2023, the rappers will kick off their 2024 tour plans in Canada, performing at Montreal's Bar le Ritz PDB on January 20 and Toronto's Horseshoe Tavern on January 22. They'll do a few more shows stateside thereafter, wrapping up on February 26 in Orlando.
