Earl Sweatshirt & The Alchemist - VOIR DIRE

Earl might be painting himself into a corner a little bit, but it's hard to go wrong with him and Uncle Al.

This is a review of the streaming version of the album; a few songs differ from the initial release.

Larry June & The Alchemist - The Great Escape

Larry June is rarely a highlight of The Great Escape.

Roc Marciano & The Alchemist - The Elephant Man's Bones

After a strong start, The Elephant Man's Bones kind of trails off.

Armand Hammer & The Alchemist - Haram

The Alchemist helps Armand Hammer make their most surreal album yet.

Curren$y, Freddie Gibbs & The Alchemist - Fetti

Though Curren$y and Freddie Gibbs manage to bring out the best in each other and The Alchemist comes through with some classy production, it's hard not to attribute Fetti's success in part to its brevity.

The Alchemist + Oh No (Gangrene) - "Driving Gloves" ft. Action Bronson (Video)

Gangrene, the duo of West Coast hip hop producers extraordinaires The Alchemist and Oh No, has a new album called You Disgust Me out August 7 via Mass Appeal. Here's the first single/video, featuring Action Bronson. Enjoy!

Domo Genesis- No Idols

With some great production from the Alchemist, No Idols delivers one colorful instrumental after another with Odd Future's Domo Genesis spitting some less-than-interesting verses.

The Alchemist- "Spudnik Webb" feat. Durag Dynasty, Blu, and Killa Kali

Stream: The Alchemist- "Spudnik Webb" feat. Durag Dynasty, Blu and Killa Kali Seasoned hip hop producer The Alchemist is currently gearing up to release a record titled Russian Roulette on July 17 via Decon. We've already heard the Danny Brown and Schoolboy Q feature "Flight Confirmation," and now we have an album bonus track to chew on, a collaboration with Durag Dynasty, Blu, and Killa Kali named "Spudnik Webb." Stream it above by way of Decon's SoundCloud.

The Alchemist sets the track up with a beat characterized by the tried and true soul-sampling boom bap sound, allowing a smartly chosen vocal loop to take the lead. He changes things up around its two-minute mark, however, with a transition into a beat that is similar in its formula, but makes use of a lower-pitched vocal sample that lends the song a slightly grimmer mood. The MCs here bring their game as well, each sporting flows of which only experienced rappers are capable. It takes conscious effort to remember that something of such quality is only a bonus track.
