I mean Alchemist has produced EPs for ChrisCo and Jay Worthy. Is this really that big of a surprise?
Those dudes are both significantly worse than Cool Kids.
Primo had Group Home, NYGz, Nick Javas, Malay, and Khaleel. Neptunes had Famlay and Coldchain. And I actually like a few of those acts, but the list goes on and on. Dilla, Madlib, Pete, Dre, 9th Wonder, Nottz...if you name any dope producer we can name lots of average to below average emcees they've gone out of their way to work with. The people they find interesting to work with aren't always the top shelf rhymers. Actuaslly scratch that.
Rarely are they the most top shelf rhymers.
