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.
