Armand Hammer
Some rap records refuse to be background. They will not go ambient, they make you stop what you were doing and go back fifteen seconds because a line landed sideways and you need it again. Two writers, both of them dense, neither of them interested in making it easier for you — one has spent a career declining to show his face in press photos, which tells you most of what you need to know about the priorities here. Live, the delivery is quieter than the records suggest, almost conversational, and the room goes correspondingly silent. People mouth along. Nobody films the whole song. The Highland Park hall is upstairs, wood-floored, a few hundred capacity, and the sightlines are good enough that the back is not a punishment. Music at 8:00 PM at 104 N Avenue 56. The audience for this is small, specific, and unusually literate about it — which is the entire reason people who love it keep sending each other the shows.

You found your people.
They didn't know each other before Falkor either.
