For fans of drumless hip-hop, raw lyricism, and lo-fi production, the Haitian-American MC continues his prolific dominance in all those areas.

Haitian-American rapper Mach-Hommy just released his latest project, the short but sweet Notorious Dump Legends: Volume 2. Moreover, the album is effectively a collaborative effort with Tha God Fahim, as he appears on almost every track here. Still, it's well within the boundaries of excellence, skill, and vision you'd expect from Hommy. Overall, it's a cohesive and succinct collection of somber production, grounded lyricism, and creative sample-based beats.

If you haven't heard of Mach-Hommy, he's one of the architects behind Griselda who's blossomed a mysterious and cult favorite career of his own. While his affiliation with the Buffalo rap collective's been on and off for the past few years, he reconciled with Westside Gunn a couple of years ago. As a result, he forms part of that same style while distinguishing himself as an idiosyncratic artist.

Mach-Hommy's Notorious Dump Legends: Volume 2

For example, his critically acclaimed 2021 album Pray For Haiti saw him rapping in creole, honoring his home, and delivering even more abstract verses and beats than his more hardcore counterparts. Also, Hommy's one of the more prolific rappers in the game at the moment, at least when considering his caliber. He dropped six projects last year between long-form releases and EPs. With his skill and dedication to making art in mind, we wouldn't be surprised to cover new releases from him many more times this year.
