Larry June & The Alchemist - The Great Escape (Discussion Thread)

[bordeaux]

its a well put together project. im glad i didnt read the tracklist b/c i was quite impressed. alot of features caught me off gaurd. i thnk he stepped his rhyming up here but he's still not a good rapper. his influences are quite obvious but he pales in comparison. its admirable how breh has followed the blueprint and made a name for himself.

I hit repeat on Turkish Cotton like 6 times yesterday

Mannnnnn no lie on heavy repeat!!! I wish these tracks were longer… like let that beat ride for another 3 mins or so

 

[Tetris v2.0]

I love this album like I learned to love Continuance. The vibe needs to be right but this is something you can easily hit play and let ride.

Spaceships on the Blade is my favorite Larry project overall, but it caters to more moods with varied production from his frequent collaborators.

He locked in with Al for this, and it shows

Project is pretty tough, Art talk , Orange Village, Porsches in Spanish and exito might be my favorites on here.. good spring and summer music forsure

 

[Morose Polymath]

"89 Earthquake" is insane

That voice saying "Sing It Larry" tho

 

[Aje]

Dope project.

 

[NYtymes]

i like this but it definitely sounds like something i heard before … alchemist one of the greats and larry june is not bad

 

[Patrick Kane]

Mind on a different mode
Blow a hundred casual
Invest a hundred casual
Flipped it to a hundred more

I hope nikkas ain’t sleepin on Left No Evidence. Larry and Evidence were rappin their ass off on this shyt. Love that dirty loop with the dusty keys in the background

Replay value on this album is crazy. Gonna have this in rotation for awhile

 

[I'm Blackman]

First time through..i like this. beats are insane.

 

[macadomusic]

Summer Reign is perfect

 

[Timbs]

Well put together project, Solid Plan got me ready for another Action Bronson tape

 

[Booker Carver]

Listening for the first time now. Wow Grown man ish.

 

[International S.]

"89 Earthquake" is insane

That voice saying "Sing It Larry" tho

ayo I thought it was just me
sounds like dude who was calling Martin Almond Brown in the DMV

thats probably Larry saying that shyt

 

[TheWiseWon]

Alchemist has a legitimate claim to GOAT Hip-Hop producer of the 21st Century.

No skips as expected, and this will be in rotation indefinitely.

Good job, Larry!
