over the last hour or so i've been on a trip down memory lane.
this man in the Polaroid above is The Alchemist, a producer/rapper hailing from Beverly Hills, CA.
he's not a household name such as J-Dilla, Kanye West or Primo but he is easily capable of being seen as an elite producer in the history of hip-hop production.
i decided to dedicate this post to him while i was watching Drake's Tim Westwood Freestyle which was pretty hard to watch... but anyways while scrolling through the comments many users posted to watch "Eminem's Westwood Freestyle"
and when I did, The Alchemist just happened to be the guest DJ
i could hardly pay attention what Em was bc of old ALC songs running through my head
i could remember back in about 04-05 when he dropped the album 1st Infantry when i copped it from a random bootlegger off the streets of NY and playing the CD on the busride back home and wondering how this guy hasn't really blew up yet.
Hold You Down and D-Block to QB were my favorite tracks from the album and i would play them on my lil RCA mp3 player
wow what memories
my point of this post was to just share with you one of my all-time favorite songs and hopefully make someone another Alchemist fan
Hold You Down - The Alchemist ft. Prodigy, Illahgee & Nina Sky
D-Block to QB Instrumental - The Alchemist
-OJAY FAISON
