He said that’s all he does is make beats...said he hates to sleep:russ::wow:


I strive to have a work ethic like Al

Its even more then just a work ethic. I make a couple beats myself. Whenever I really put in work, I burn out quick. Im talking a week of beats 8 hours a day. By the end of that week Ive become a sickly version of myself :dead:

Being a perfectionist requires an astonishing level of composure and balance.

Been playing this non stop the entire week. That Runnin sample while they dump the body in the water is so eerie.

Also I didn't realize that was Vince on Surf and Turf at first, am I the only person that thinks Vince sounds kinda different ? Idk it sounds like someone trying to sound like Vince.

I'm glad they gave some spotlight on this project on Joe Budden pod

What’s even crazier is that Alc was on Twitter saying he only releases like 13% of the beats he makes:ohmy:

I wasn't anticipating this that much but this is really fantastic.
Boldy awkward, he box lefty and Alc matched him with these beats..most interesting set of Alc beats for a project with a rapper in a minute.

Boldy used to sound dull and going through the motions
on here he sounds more confident/focused and menacing on certain songs. he talking that talk too.

I would love to hear Alc do an EP with G Count. he would've sounded so good on one of these songs.
he was on lean heavy. he's a monster when he got clarity

Glad nikkas fukk with boldy
At the end of Giant Slide when his boy is talking about the pale moonlight line....it’s so crazy because that’s the first song I ever heard from Boldy and I had the same reaction his friend had:wow:



Such a shame we never got a Boldy James X Chuck Inglish project:mjcry:
