Hit-Boy, The Alchemist and Big Hit have announced a joint album together called Black & Whites, and launched it with a trailer inspired by the cult film Office Space.
Parodying a classic scene from the 1999 movie, the West Coast trio join forces to smash up a printer and keyboards.

A behind-the-scenes clip of the promo revealed that The Alchemist wasn’t actually pounding on a printer but a spot on the ground.
Hit, Alchemist and Big Hit also shared the first single from the album, “Foreclosure,” which finds the latter — who is Hit-Boy’s father — spitting over a double-sided beat from the two producers.
A release date for Black & Whites has yet to be announced.
Hit-Boy and The Alchemist have already dropped a joint project together this year.
In February, the duo hooked up for a surprise EP called Theodore & Andre which was comprised of just three tracks and no guest features.

The prolific Hit-Boy also dropped an album with Big Hit late last year called The Truth is in My Eyes, which was the first release by a rapper to be entirely produced by their son.
In an Instagram post following its release, Hit-Boy explained just how much making the album meant to him.
“Being in elementary school telling people me and my dad were gonna make music together one day when he’s back out on the streets,” he wrote. “Over the years we have had points where he touched down for a second maybe a few months MAX and we started recording and making some progress. Then he’d let the streets win and he’d end up right back in the cell for years at a time.
“Big Hit has spent about 30 years of his life on the inside and i still never looked at him at anything other than my dad he’s himself at all times and it’s no cut on how he move love it or hate it. this time feels different for me personally im a lot more mature and i know who i am so as a man i can hear him out and also be a leader for him in my own right.”

He concluded: “It’s alot of pressure but it’s also therapy for both us i would say. 9pm pst tonight we’re dropping his DEBUT album The Truth Is In My Eyes and i couldn’t be more proud of this moment. Most people wait til they family die to honor them in this way but we doing right here rn while we ALIVE.”
