Details

• Tuez Les Touts, the album title, translates from the French as 'Kill Them All'. Of course, French is the language spoken in Mach's native Haiti.
  
• DJ Muggs, of Cypress Hill, produced the entire album.
  
  
• The track's slow hypnotic beat brings to mind a childhood bedtime story, frozen and sparse. The title 'Piotr', with its distinctive spelling, brings to mind the tundras of eastern Europe.
  
  The lyrics seem mostly abstract and open to interpretation, allowing the listener to imprint their own meaning onto them. The track operates on a level of vibe instead of specific meaning. To me, its hauntingly innocent, as if a cautionary tale: "Don't drown like Piotr." 
  
  
• 'Piotr' includes a shout out to Kendrick Lamar's alter ego Kung-Fu Kenny.
  
• Mach Hommy prides himself on being a true original in hip hop telling Billboard magazine
  
  "You have people trying to do what you do verbatim, piece-by-piece. That is off-putting to say the least. And it ain’t hip-hop. There’s nothing wrong if what you’re doing is pop music because that’s the platform: copy, copy, copy, copy, copy-paste, copy-paste, copy-paste. There’s nothing wrong with that in that world. The thing is, don’t claim no kind of integrity or supremacy or nothing when you copying. You gotta just go see if you can be a pop star, because that’s acceptable there."
