Why hammond rhymes the way it does
The phonology of hammond is a two-syllable core: the open /ษ/ (/ษ/), then it closes on the nasal-stop pairing.

The mix gives you options across the board. Strict rhymes for the structural beats, family or assonance for the interior lines. The songwriter's move is to pick a small set of strict rhymes for the chorus and open up to family and assonance through the verses. Hammond rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
