Throughout the first half of the LP, Mach-Hommy is uncharacteristically clear (vocally) and palatable (lyrically). But his more abrasive, coded edge kicks in around track #9 “Pen Rale” as Mach dives into his signature riddle-style lyricism, before providing unyielding aggression alongside Westside Gunn thereafter. Pray For Haiti is a, surprisingly, palatable offering from Mach-Hommy, while still embracing Mach’s infamous mysterious allure and coded lyricism.
