Armand Hammer

After a decade of bold protest and raw storytelling, the duo of billy woods and Elucid bring their powerful presence to OUT.FEST for the project’s Portuguese premiere. With seven revered albums under their belt, notably 'We Buy Diabetic Test Strips', which garnered rare universal acclaim in 2023, and the recent vinyl-only release 'BLK LBL' still fresh in memory, their art is a fiery fusion of conscious poetry, painting vivid portraits of everyday struggles while taking aim at the oppressive forces sustaining our troubled world. Having collaborated with a diverse array of visionaries like EL-P, Blockhead, JPEGMAFIA, and DJ Haram, their beats pulse with rhythmic abstraction and pay homage to hip-hop legacies of old. Through their voices, they weave a tapestry of anger, hope, critical reflection, and humor, captivating audiences with their raw authenticity and fearless spirit.
