We develop a new spectral sequence in order to calculate the Hochschild homology of smash biproducts (also called the twisted tensor products) of unital associative algebras A#B provided one of A or B has Hochschild dimension less than 2. We use this spectral sequence to calculate Hochschild homology of the algebra M-q(2) of quantum 2 x 2-matrices. (C) 2020 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
