A Conversation With The Alchemist, 2021’s Best Hip-Hop Producer Alive

What do you have coming up for 2022, musically and otherwise?
Off the top is the new Curren$y project Continuation, and Benny’s Tana Talk 4. I got a song with Kool G Rap, a new Craft Single that we’re about to drop...I had just come off of Alfredo and all the success of that...First, I called Roc Marci, and I told him, “There’s nobody I’d rather do a whole album with than you after this.” And we started work on a record that’s coming soon.

You mentioned working on projects with Earl and Roc. Will those be coming this year?
Those are both coming this year. Now, I’ve made my bed. This year’s going to be good. Also, a Larry June EP. I’m just trying to clear the runway for all these things, and lots and lots of vinyl releases that we’re doing. We’re redoing Covert Coup, and there’s a couple other things we got brewing. I’m looking to keep the year busy, and that’s the beauty of being independent. I know sometimes it looks like, “Damn, we’re doing a lot,” but that’s the freedom we have. Sometimes you’re on a label, and there’s a schedule, and you’ve got to wait for someone else. But for me, I try to keep things busy, so I’m always having something drop. Keep people fed...

and I’m sure a lot more. Maybe a Lulu sequel. Maybe another BoldChemist.

Why would Roc Marciano be the one guy he would love to make an album with above all others?

Cause Roc one of the GOATS nikka. Lol. Also cause Roc is a big part of the reason he went on this legendary production run. He made the lane.

 

[Piff Perkins]

Roc been pretty quiet lately too so you know something big is coming. Can't wait. This has been a great year for rap shyt, across multiple styles/waves.

Roc be saying nothing but makes me feel like I’m in an important movie

One of the GOATS?

Tbh. Without Roc Marci, from 2012 a massive portion of underground rap doesn't exist. He birthed a lot of niccas...this includes griselda etc...even though they are also fathers to a lot of niccas themselves.

He’s wildly overrated on this site. $500 Ounces Alchemist beat is fukking FLAMES & Roc Marci verse was mid AF. He did not flow on that beat correct at all. He’s not that nice.

The Sacrifice by Roc Marciano

This came out 2013 I’m not believing this revisionist history about him birthing anybody. His flow is not good at all

WTF is this? Trying to say he birthed the likes of Griselda and the rest of the upstate NY movement? Ain’t no way!

You should do more research. Marcberg is better than anything anyone in Griselda has put out. And yes he has a huge influence on griselda whole image.

 

[Funcrusher]

It's not just the music itself, it's also the complete reinvention of himself and focusing on that to sell without compromise. The 00's were full of that bullshyt where an album needs to have something for everybody (ladies, club, introspective, etc). Roc Marci pretty much brought it back to the days where you can be successful by being true to your artistry without having to cater to every demographic.

You just sound foolish now
Marci's co-sign was one of the biggest factors of GxFR taking off...

This the video that sparked it all featuring yours truly
