I think that every project I worked on, you are kinda waiting to make your first track that is more than the sum of its parts. Because some tracks have a dope verse and a really good beat and a great hook, and the song is really dope and that's cool. That's a win, for sure, but there are other songs out there. The ones where all the parts swirl in a unique orbit, building upon each other and all of a sudden the whole thing is floating. Alchemy. Base metals turn to gold, etc. That's really the moment I'm always waiting for when I start on a new creative journey. That unmistakable signpost. On We Buy Diabetic Test Strips, there were more than a few such moments, but this was the very first one. One take and it was like, yeah that's it.
We Buy Diabetic Test Strips is out September 29 via Fat Possum. It features "Trauma Mic," plus contributions from Junglepussy, Soul Glo's Pierce Jordan, Curly Castro, Cavalier, and Moor Mother. Armand Hammer are touring this year and in early 2024.
