The album serves as the final installment of a "tetralogy", comprising 2016's H.B.O (Haitian Body Odor), 2019's Wap Konn Jòj!, and the 2021 albums Pray for Haiti and Balens Cho (Hot Candles). [1]

Background

The title of the album was first teased by Jens "The Guru", through an Instagram post on April 4, 2023. [2] A private listening party for the album was held on June 15, 2023, in New York City, with tickets costing US$77.77. [3] A second listening party was held on February 22, 2024, also in New York, with tickets costing $1,111.11. [4]

Mach-Hommy announced the release of the album on May 6, 2024, and released the lead single, "#RICHAXXHAITIAN", featuring Kaytranada and 03 Greedo. [5] The album was released on May 17, a day before Haitian Flag Day. [6] On May 23, the album was removed from Spotify and YouTube, receiving no payment for the issues. He posted a 15-minute video on his YouTube account, criticizing their gross mismanagement of not only his metrics and metadata but that of many others. [7] [8]

Pitchfork 8.0/10 [9]

Matthew Ritchie of Pitchfork described the album as "a quintessential Mach-Hommy project", and said of it: "Mach has cemented himself as a shapeshifter, contorting his voice to rap, sing, and glide over the grainy surface of his beats." [9] Gabriel Bras Nevares of HotNewHipHop said: "This new album builds off of the struggle and perseverance of previous installments to craft a triumphant and awe-inspiring experience". [10] On Rolling Stone ’s list of “The 20 Best Hip-Hop Albums of 2024”, #RICHAXXHAITIAN stands at 17 and is described as an album “untethered to any fixed expectations”, embodying “the type of mystique many artists have to generate artificially” as it plucks “sonic influences out of lived experiences”. [11]
