Producer du jour, The Alchemist, has undergone a musical renaissance over the last year starting with the Covert Coup project, with fellow weed advocate Curren$y. Up until then, ALC seemed to be going through the motions providing the backdrop for a lot of JV league thun rappers; which is cool if you’re into “thun rap,” but nothing that was exciting or dynamic enough to get beyond a post at 2dopeboyz or 57thAve (Editor’s Note: Big TWINS shit was ill as fuck tho). A now seemingly inspired Alchemist is getting ready to drop a new project which may breathe some new life into a dead concept: a producer’s compilation. Al showcases his ability to read blogs and pick the latest in cool rappers with vocal assistance from Danny Brown and Schoolboy Q on “Flight Confirmation.” A punk rock-styled arrangement clocking in at less than 2 minutes with no hooks or guitar solos; getting right to the point of letting these rappers do what they do best…rap.
