News : MACH-HOMMY RECRUITS BLACK THOUGHT, ROC MARCIANO & MORE FOR NEW ALBUM '#RICHAXXHAITIAN'

Mach-Hommy has assembled a heavyweight supporting cast for his new album #RICHAXXHAITIAN.

The Haitian-American rapper announced the project on Monday (May 6), unveiling the release date, cover art and some of the big name guests who will be joining him on the record.

While a full tracklist has yet to be shared, fans can expect appearances from Black Thought, Roc Marciano and Your Old Droog, along with production from the likes of Conductor Williams and Quelle Chris.

There are also contributions from 03 Greedo and KAYTRANADA, who co-star on the album’s lead single and title track, which can be heard below.

“Even if the person has their own panache or je nais se quoi that they bring to the table, there has to be a thread of commonality between us in order for the work to sustain.”

He added: “And not to mention they’re fucking talented, exceptionally gifted at what they do, and the ear that they possess.”

#RICHAXXHAITIAN is set to arrive on May 17, the day before Haitian Flag Day, and is described as “[examining Haiti’s] rich history as the world’s first free Black republic, and emphasizes its potential, imagining the nation’s possible future as an exemplar of Black cultural and economic excellence.”

The album is Mach-Hommy’s first solo effort since Balens Cho and Pray for Haiti, which both dropped in 2021, and serves as the final album in a tetralogy that began with 2016’s H.B.O. (Haitian Body Odor) and continued with his last two albums.

Black Thought recently named Mach-Hommy as one of his favorite underrated rappers during his appearance on Questlove‘s Questlove Supreme podcast.

“Mach [Hommy], yeah, that’s my ace,” he said. “I think his association with the whole Griselda family and that movement, but the way that he’s distinctly, y’know, different is huge too.”

The pair previously collaborated on Your Old Droog’s “Pravda” in 2020 alongside El-P and Tha God Fahim.
