From my first impression more of a day album tbh

might check this out bc alchemist
this dude good?

Elucid and Billy are S tier

Please listen to Hiding Places, Paraffin, and Brass.

“Mysterious” but top tier lyricism from these two every time

this dude billy woods/Elucid some ass, this is an official hate thread

He’s like rx papi if he majored in political science

lmao that Lynch sample on the Earl track how didn't I immediately catch that

4th listen let's go

gq.com/story/armand-hammer-the-alchemist-haram-interview

The wait is agonizing

Wow GQ?!

F***ing GQ?!

The Alchemist stimulus kicks in that quick huh

Have you listened to Armand Hammer or woods before this?

crazy fr

no

maybe il give it another listen

billy and elucid are coming after RTJ for that most famous rap duo spot rn

so if it wasn't for Earl we wouldn't have had this album

"Al, how long have these guys been on your radar, and how did the collaboration come together?

Alchemist: It was pretty much Thebe Kgositsile, better known as Earl Sweatshirt. He’s always putting me onto new stuff. I actually felt stupid, like I was under a rock for not knowing about them. I’d heard a verse from woods on an Evidence-produced joint with Mach-Hommy one time. So that’s what started my interest. Then I started digging into each of their catalogs individually, and as Armand Hammer. Their videos… anyone I put onto them, they have the same experience I did: they hit me up later like, ‘Damn.’ To me, at this point in my career, it’s fun to have that feeling of finding something I didn’t know about, and being able to put other people onto it, like, ‘Check this s*** out, this is the highest level of art.’ It started with me and woods talking; I reached out to him first, and was just like, Yo, I’m a fan,’ and we started building little by little."
