Armand Hammer & The Alchemist feat. Earl Sweatshirt – California Games [Video]

“California Games” has always been one of the standout cuts on “We Buy Diabetic Test Strips“, but the new animated video takes it to another dimension entirely.

Directed by the peerless Shane Ingersoll, this visual is an instant classic—an 8-bit fever dream that sends Billy Woods, Elucid, Earl Sweatshirt, and The Alchemist on a wild, vintage video-game rollercoaster.

Ingersoll has delivered standout work before, but this might already be the crown jewel in his Backwoodz catalog. Every frame feels hand-crafted for the track’s off-kilter mood: pixelated worlds collapsing into each other, surreal character designs, and a steady stream of visual gags that echo the song’s cryptic density.

Alchemist’s warm, dusty loop plays like the soundtrack to an old cartridge game left running too long—sunny on the surface, eerie underneath. Woods and Elucid move through the beat with their signature opacity, while Earl slides in with a verse that feels tailor-made for the animated chaos on screen.

The result is a perfect pairing: one of the album’s most atmospheric tracks matched with one of the most inventive visuals in the Armand Hammer universe. “California Games” isn’t just a music video—it’s a world of its own, and one you’ll want to replay immediately.
