| New Jersey's Mach-Hommy is one of the East coast's finest working |
| rappers. Building on his cryptic mystique, his latest effort finds |
| him diving into a collection of beats by Earl Sweatshirt. |
| |
| It would take thousands of dollars to acquire the full Mach-Hommy |
| discography - not because his records are long-forgotten or out of |
| print, but because he's charging what he sees fit. Market price, cold |
| commerce. Those price tags (upward of a thousand dollars for records |
| like DUMP GAWD: HOMMY EDITION and Dollar Menu 2) give the rapper's |
| music a cryptic mystique, but they aren't gimmicky; Mach-Hommy seems |
| profoundly uninterested in gimmickry. To wit: this fall's excellent |
| DUMPMEISTER, which retailed for the delightfully unsubtle $187, plays |
| like a breathless best-of, no pauses, no frills - just the blunt |
| rhythms of a card number, expiration date, and security code. |
| |
| For his latest effort, the $111.11 Fete Des Morts AKA Dia De Los |
| Muertos, Mach-Hommy taps Earl Sweatshirt for beats and dives back in. |
| (On his Bandcamp, the record is credited, confusingly, to |
| DUMPMEISTER.) Fete Des Morts is a compelling look at Earl's |
| influences and instincts behind the board - including a soul bent |
| that bypasses turn-of-the-century Roc-A-Fella - but it transcends |
| because Hommy uses it as yet another venue to argue for himself as |
| one of the East coast's finest working rappers. |
| |
| The New Jersey-based Hommy was briefly affiliated with the Conway- |
| and Westside Gunn-helmed Griselda Gang, but has since splintered off |
| into his own section of the genre. His major work is Haitian Body |
| Odor, an LP he sold directly to fans through his Instagram DMs last |
| year. HBO is a remarkable record, dense and patient. Its cover is a |
| portrait of Michele Bennett, the former Haitian first lady who fled |
| the country in 1986; Hommy litters his writing with the relics of |
| French colonization, class revolt, and Giuliani-era New York. Songs |
| unfurl slowly: "1080p" has a 60-second prelude before its first |
| verse, but once he starts rapping, he goes in fits and starts, |
| lamenting that "nobody love you when you alive," remembering how his |
| friends blanched at how seriously he took The War Report. |
| |
| By contrast, Fete Des Morts feels like a series of contained |
| exercises. Songs flow seamlessly into one another; the 70-second |
| exhale of "Henrietta LAX" gives way to "TTFN," which itself abruptly |
| stops for Mach to mock "social media metrics" and let off a gunshot. |
| Earl's beats are uniquely post-Dilla in their treatment of vocal |
| samples and in his affinity for warm tones cut by jagged textures. |
| (There's even an exultant airhorn at the beginning of "Bridge of the |
| Water G-d.") The artists' partnership, then, is compulsively |
| listenable: acrobatic writing over no-nonsense beats by another |
| verbose MC, who knows where to leave the crevices. |
| |
| It's tempting to classify huge swaths of East Coast rap from this |
| decade as post-Marcberg, full stop. The comparisons to the vaunted |
| half-revivalist Roc Marciano are not unfounded, but Hommy is a more |
| unpredictable writer. He's more likely to pick up a narrative thread |
| for an extended period, or to start writing in discursive lines, |
| filled with the pronouns and prepositions. There are also stark, |
| fascinating diversions: "Embarrassment of Riches," which is produced |
| by Navy Blue rather than Earl, opens with an extended bit of singing, |
| before transitioning back into razor-tongued raps. |
| |
| Structurally, Fete Des Morts frees Hommy to try a quick series of |
| different ideas: a Twitter-nodding crime vignette on "Manje Midi," a |
| modern-day "Les Mis" on "THEJIGISUP." The themes he explored in such |
| depth on HBO - familial honor, the weight of tradition - reappear |
| here mostly through implication, while the writing is more overtly |
| concerned with naturalistic, often grim details. And that's where the |
| EP succeeds so beautifully. It exists, on one level, as a clean, |
| distilled 22 minutes of exceptional rap music. But it also serves as |
| a companion piece to both Mach and Earl's larger catalogs, continuing |
| old threads and hinting at directions either one might pursue in the |
| new year. |
| |
| All beats by Earl Sweatshirt, except track 3 - beats by Navy Blue. |
