'99 - '04 Alchemist was God-tier, arguably GOAT hip-hop production. Nobody was fukking with him at that time. Don't know what the fukk happened, but he hasn't been the same since. Seeing "Produced by Alchemist" used to be an instant "drop everything you're doing right this minute and go cop or listen to this song" type of feeling. Al ain't wack by any means, but he hasn't been on that level in over 15yrs.
Anyway, I knew next to nothing about Rome before this thread. Been out the loop for a bit on some of these newer NY underground acts, but I'm feeling everything I've heard so far. And Muggs never disappoints.
