Newark’s Mach-Hommy released his album Mach’s Hard Lemonade exclusively on JAY-Z’s TIDAL streaming service for members and non-subscribers alike.
The partnership reported began in November 2019 after the two were photographed together.
Mach’s Hard Lemonade has nine songs; all are produced and composed by Mach-Hommy himself in Master Quality Audio. It has guest features from past collaborators such as The God Fahim(thedarkshogan) and Earl Sweatshirt (@earlxsweat), along with Navy Blue (@navyduskwaygi), Tvoy, Young Queenz (@youngqueenz_), and Your Old Droog(@yourolddroog).
Standout songs include SBTM, Soon Jah Due, Photocopy Sloppy (Dump Fraud), Pour House, and Squeaky Hinge. Mach-Hommy’s production chops shine throughout the album and it’s a pleasant surprise. This album is deeply refreshing, yet grimy. Hommy’s delivery is one similar to Roc Marciano‘s with rapid-fire, smooth and witty punchlines that will make rewind a few times to catch what he’s talking about.
Mach’s Hard Lemonade is available on deluxe vinyl for $444. The price is a salute to JAY-Z’s classic album, 4:44.
“Mach-Hommy must’ve saw something inside of his core. Everybody got it for the cheap. He got it for more!” he exclaims on Squeaky Hinge.
There is a lot to unpack in this project. This is an album you will have to sit with to digest and it’s very dope. Mach-Hommy delivered a gem. 8.7 out of 10
