This i what I mean. I've listned to Carlton Heist but the vibes weren't quite like Covert Coup.
Yeah, my take away is that CH had a more consistent sound, but CC has highs that hit harder than anything on CH.
Honestly, CC was a lightning in a bottle moment that won't be repeated. It's arguably Alchemist's best set of beats that he's ever used for a single artist. A lot of people will put Return of the Mac or Albert Einstein ahead of it, but many people have CC at #1. That set off the era of Alchemist doing entire projects with people, and looking at his entire crazy ass run from 2011-2014 where he was dropping a project basically every quarter, I still don't think he dropped any set of beats as dope as what he did on CC.
