Few MC’s Are As Elusive and Enigmatic As Mach Hommy

There is little information about the Haitian-American Newark native except for his musical work. Mach released many low-profile records throughout the past year, but his midnight release boasts major underground attention. Paying obvious tribute to his roots, the album, titled ‘Pray for Haiti’ is released this week through Griselda Records to honor Haitian Flag Day.

Mach listeners will often compare him to The Alchemist, Earl Sweatshirt, Boldy James, and most fittingly, the Griselda gang. Helmed by Westside Gunn, Griselda currently monopolizes the current coke rap scene and continues to expand on all fronts. While all members continue to flourish, Gunn has maintained the most prominence both as an MC and label executive. No stranger to taking the back seat to let his talent gain attention, Gunn eagerly heralds Hommy’s work.

Having collaborated with them previously, Mach Hommy takes executive production from Gunn to promote the piece. With Mach being one to avoid social media, Gunn has spent the past few weeks promoting the album all over social media.

The lead single, ‘The Stellar Ray Theory,’ was released earlier this week and is available on streaming now. The album is 39 minutes with three features from Gunn and one each from Keisha Plum, and Tha God Fahim. There is also familiar production from frequent Hommy collaborator, Camoflauge Monk, and one track from DJ Green Lantern. With a lack of major name releases at midnight, Hommy might gain some much-deserved attention. Will you give it a listen? Here’s the tracklist down below.
