There’s no doubt Alchemist is on a creative high. After earning a Grammy Award nomination for his collaborative album with Freddie Gibbs, 2020’s HipHopDX Album of the Year Alfredo, the veteran producer teamed up with Earl Sweatshirt and Hip Hop duo Armand Hammer (Billy Woods and Elucid) for Haram, which arrived in March.
Then in April, the Beverly Hills native dropped a solo EP with features from Earl Sweatshirt, Pink Siifu, Boldy James, Navy Blue, Maxo and Sideshow called This Thing of Ours, while also contributing to Conway The Machine’s latest project La Maquina.
On Saturday (May 22), Alchemist reminded his fans he’s still locked in the studio and has a whole other project floating around online — they just have to find it.
“We hid a whole album on youtube under a fake name and youtube page,” he tweeted. “Fake album cover, song titles, the whole 9. Nobody found it yet.”
As commenters begged for a hint, Alchemist remained silent and as of press time, there’s been no indication anyone has uncovered the hidden gem.
Last month, Freddie Gibbs revealed he was recruiting his frequent collaborator for another project, which he’s already dubbed “album of the year.”
Freddie Gibbs Working With Pharrell, Madlib, Alchemist & Hit-Boy On 'Album Of The Year'
While speaking to MixMag, Gibbs said, “It’s another album of the year. I’m about to go and work with Pharrell next week. Madlib, Working On Dying, The Alchemist, Sevn Thomas, Hit-Boy, I just talked to [Mike WiLL Made-It]. It’s gonna be the best-produced album that I ever made.”
Although Alchemist didn’t explain who “was” was, somes fans are speculating it could be Earl Sweatshirt or even Freddie Gibbs, while others think he’s simply trolling. Whatever the case, it remains a mystery — at least for now.
Who cares? He needs to stop being a diva and just put it out there. If it’s an unreleased tupac or outkast album, ok ill go look. Who is alchemist to play musical hide and go seek?
Go play in traffic.
How original. You must be the meme guy in your class/office that wants to look smart for sending people recycled bs. If you want to insult me, try stepping it up a notch.
Bro, just go elsewhere.
both of you bitches need to stfu and gtfoh. Go hug it out bitches- Ari gold voice
Does your mom have big tits?
It was that kid Shaw Monsta he did a whole project on alchemist beats didn’t get a lot of looks tho
How very original, go play in traffic lol. Yes I am a nobody, but so is alchemist. If it were a hidden album by tupac or outkast this article wouldn’t be necessary. This is just a shitty promotional strategy that won’t result in anything for him.
Nah bruv Alc is top 5 you must be a 2000 baby
He latest stuff is not what it was but def top 5
Dilla

Black milk
Like i said top fid-dive son 🙂
Finally a Real 1
Who knows ! Def top 5 producers dead and alive !!!! Alchemists a fucking legend !
It’s his music. He can do whatever he wants with it. Don’t think he cares if a nobody like you can find it
He definitely can do whatever he wants. But his “marketing strategy won’t really work since he’s not someone people care all that much about. Dre, premo, Pete rock, sure. Alchemist, no way. Best for him to just release his stuff.
Man Alchemist is one of the greatest to be named amongst DRE, DJ HI-Tek, Erick Sherman and more!
Sounds like u salty cuz you haven’t found the album.
Will just be more sleepy time, drumless beats that suburban hip hop fans salivate over for some reason.
Well all your favourite rappers love those beats too clearly. It’s just you who doesn’t
Hmm, I don’t recall Nas rapping over sleepy Alchemist loops nowadays. And there’s plenty of people who don’t fuck with this style. Hip hop beats need to bump or at least have some “oomph” in them, which Alc hasn’t brought in over a decade.
We really gonna bring up Nas in a convo about best selection?
totally agree. alchemist used to bring the fire. I have stopped checking the new projects because of this. random loops and no drums, the weedsmoke has clouded the visions
Always with the ” suburban rap fans ” dig , you sound like a fucking dork. Honestly I would agree with you if you were talking about muggs or Darringer, but thats another discussion
totally agree. alchemist used to bring the fire. I have stopped checking the new projects because of this. random loops and no drums, the weedsmoke has clouded the visions
Your wackkkkkkkkkkkan say the same shit on every post
He’s lying, and you goofy idiots will go searching for some mediocre beats from sunrise to sunset.
Mediocre?¿? ¿ do you even know who the fuck Alchemist is ? You should like a youngin fuck boul
I appreciate you Al
One of the all time great hiphop producers. I just don’t like the MCs he gives his beats to. I like hearing Prodigy, Roc Marci, And Willie the Kid on them, other than them I prefer the instrumentals. Gibbs is way overrated. Peace.
My brother im glad someone has some intelligence Gibbs is horrible i dont get it either Willie da kid, Dark lo, 38 spesh and maybe Benny the butcher not tryna hear no one else.
Peace and Love
Yeah I never understood the Gibbs hype
I agree with you on all those other rappers .. but Gibbs got some bangers… he ain’t saying the most introspective shit … but I wouldn’t call him horrible
alchemist always has interesting vibes to share
a new trend?
