Larry June, Curren$y & The Alchemist Dropping Joint Album This Month

    Curren$y, Larry June and The Alchemist‘s long-awaited collaborative album is finally set to drop this month.

    Spitta announced the news in a recent interview with NOLA News, saying: “Me and Larry June dropping February 20th. We shot three [music videos], so we’re dropping the album February 20th.”

    Further details on the project, such as a title, tracklist and any potential features, have yet to be revealed, although the trio have been spotted together in recent weeks reportedly shooting music videos.

    A full-length effort between the indie rap stalwarts has been in the works for several years, with Larry June previously discussing the album during an appearance on The Rap Radar Podcast in 2022.

    “We just gotta get together and shoot the visuals … We gon’ get to it … That’s my bro, man. I have nothing but love and respect for Curren$y,” the Bay Area native said.

    “Curren$y actually called me one day and was like, ‘Larry, I love your trap shit but you gotta do that smooth shit. We gotta clean the kitchen to your shit!’ I was like, ‘Man, you know, you kinda right!’ I actually like doing the smooth shit better, and ever since then I was rocking with it.

    “He actually gave me a lot of advice on the shit I was doing. There was a point in time where I was kinda discouraged with music like, ‘Damn, am I doing this shit right?’ He was like, ‘Man, don’t trip. Just keep rocking and you’ll have everything you want off this shit.'”

    The trio have already proven they have undeniable chemistry on tracks like “Endurance Runners” and “Barragán Lighting,” while The Alchemist has separately released multiple joint projects with Curren$y and Larry June.

    For a while, it appeared that an album between the three of them might not happen due to apparent tension between Spitta and Uncle Al, stemming from the fallout from their 2018 Fetti EP with Freddie Gibbs.

    Following its release, Gibbs called out Curren$y for not properly promoting or being invested in the project, leading to their once-tight relationship souring.

    “I definitely would never do that shit with Spitta again,” he declared on the Butcher Block podcast last year. “I don’t fuck with that n*gga at all. If I see that n*gga, I won’t even speak to him.”

    Gibbs added: “For a muthafucka to get Alchemist to do an album, have you do artwork, get everything together. I did the whole rollout for that Fetti shit. The whole idea was mine. That n*gga was like, ‘Let’s just rap on these Alchemist beats and put it out.’

    “The whole business shit was lackadaisical and a muthafucka ask me why I don’t fuck with Curren$y. Because you played me on some business shit and I thought you was my friend … We were supposed to shoot videos … The n*gga just stopped texting back.”

    Curren$y later addressed his former collaborator’s comments in an interview with XXL, suggesting that he felt betrayed by The Alchemist for reuniting with Freddie Gibbs on Alfredo and Alfredo 2.

    “Al solid. He neutral. He make the beats. So it ain’t no G-code with bro. I ain’t tripping off that. But with that being said, I can’t get in the car with you because I know for sure what I can’t expect,” he said.

    “I told him it’s good. But I told him, if it was me and the muthafucka said something about you, the song wouldn’t exist. I wasn’t tripping. I’m not tripping. But the same way I know, clearly, I’m guessing me and this man [Freddie Gibbs] won’t do no music, y’all in the same car.”

    However, the Jet Life chief indicated that he was not willing to let the situation sabotage his album with Larry June and The Alchemist, adding: “For the good of music, and the sounds that me and Larry put down already, I probably gotta let the people have this good shit.”
