Swimteam rastas

Then the 2nd came on

Then the 3rd



Known for his cinematic beats, The Alchemist delivers one of his most impressive production pieces on “Swimteam Rastas.” Inspired by some of DJ Premier’s most imaginative work, The Alchemist wanted to make his own song where the beat changed several times, a rapping obstacle course of sorts.

“Those DJ Premier songs were so dope to me as a kid,” The Alchemist says. “That was so exciting to me. It was like walking into different rooms as the camera kept rolling.” “Swimteam Rastas” clocks in at nearly five-and-a-half minutes and features three distinct beats. It’s a crowning aural and lyrical exercise for Alchemist and Evidence. He’s into games,” Evidence says. “Everything’s a game to him. Writing a verse or making a beat, to him is like a creative project. Everything’s like a Rubik’s Cube to him. I think he enjoys the challenge of it all.”
