With their new album, ROME set for a November 3 release on Backwoodz—we present NYC power house Armand Hammer, the super duo comprised of billy woods & ELUCID, who just unveiled their video for “It Was Written” directed by william woods featuring animation by m. Musgrove & musical production by August Fanon. The dynamic duo dispell the diversions & distractions of the world for unflinching view into the systematic cycles of injustice where yesterday’s papers are recycled to depict the lessons of the past that remain unlearned by the world. From press images of atrocities from today & throughout the ages, billy woods & ELUCID work to wake up the world to the wrongs & writs of opressive forces (both internal & external) that pops the bubble of complacency with vivid mixing & mastering by Paul “Willie Green” Womack with an engineering assis from Cedric Wilson.
