Armand Hammer

Armand Hammer brings its New York experimental rap to Pumpehuset in Copenhagen on March 26, 2026. Formed by billy woods and ELUCID, the duo has shaped a singular approach since the early 2010s: dense writing, tangled narratives and beats that twist away from linear structure. From Race Music and Furtive Movements to Rome and Paraffin, their catalog maps a steady push toward sharper textures and a dialogue that flips perspectives from bar to bar.

Shrines opened their sound without softening the edges, while Haram, produced with The Alchemist, set their abstract phrasing against grainy, cinematic backdrops. We Buy Diabetic Test Strips carried that thread further, juggling everyday detail, historical references and questions of class and memory. On stage, the two voices crackle against each other, sometimes slightly out of sync, building tension inside fractured loops and sudden pivots.

This date at Pumpehuset lines up the core of what makes Armand Hammer live: laconic one-liners, layered storytelling and a back-and-forth that keeps the focus on words as much as rhythm. A set drawn across their discography, from early cuts to recent material, delivered with the lean intensity that has defined their partnership.
