One of the most cloistered personalities in the hip-hop world, Haiti-born Mach-Hommy, has eased his way into the limelight before releasing his most revealing full-length to date. #RichAxxHaitian is set to release tomorrow, one day before Haitian Flag Day and this title track single has me ecstatic for this release as he enlisted two of my favorite artists in Kaytranada and 03 Greedo.
This seemingly peculiar collaboration works harmoniously like pancakes, syrup, and butter… I truly can’t get enough of this cut; for some reason, even though it stretches across nearly three minutes, it feels like less than a full track, but much more satisfying than a true snippet track like “New earlsweatshirt (interlude)” off of Vince Staples’ FM!. Maybe it’s due to Hommy’s swinged-out hi-hat-like vocals that help push the pace alongside Kaytranada’s addictive percussion. This production is perfectly bouncy, Kaytra always finds a way to create new pockets of rhythm for an eclectic range of artists to work with whilst consistently producing a sound that is truly only his.
03 Greedo’s hook is immaculate… I feel lucky that I’ve had my eyes on Greedy Greedo for years and it’s a privilege to hear new music from one of the dopest out of LA.
I would’ve loved to hear one more guest verse on top of Greedo’s guest hook but that’d be my only critique on this track if I had to conjure one up. Super dope cut. Listen below!
