Origin of the Alimonies features a naked trans woman on the cover. Fantano didn’t blur it out, but he zoomed in on the face instead of showing the whole album cover
im super psyched for that but people forget that a Roc Marci x Alchemist project is still a thing in the works, wouldn’t be surprised if we get it this year. either way based on what is confirmed already its gonna be another amazing year for The Alchemist
We must be living in two different timelines because I can't stop listening to Stone Fruit, Billy always closes with an absolutely crushing verse, rapping in all caps.
falling out the sky is one of the best alchemist beats, earl has one of his best features holy shit i love that song, thank God you gave this an 8, i was afraid it would get a 7 because of the blue flannel
I thought stonefruit was incredible and Billy’s closing verse is easily one of my favorite verses from him of all time. Intense attention grabbing finish to the album and I thought the singing was dope.
for what it’s worth it’s also like a sort of sister song to the closer on Billy Woods’ Hiding Places. The last verse on that song (Red Dust) is super similar to his verse on stone fruit, but maybe from a reverse (inverse?) perspective

@@musiq3109 1. For me to buy a pre-order, I'd have to be a long-time fan. 2. I don't trust pre-orders either way 3. Because Alchemist was Involved, I thought maybe he will release some alternate cover vinyl records of it, since he did the same with Lulu, Alfredo and Price Of Tea In China, even lps of his own.

melons comment section has just rotted my Brian so much that someone being cool and nice makes me confused and question whether it’s ironic or not lmao
This album is a 10 and you know it Fantano. Earl’s Verse, Peppertree, the end of Stonefruit, watch this is gonna be remembered on the levels of Madvilliany. Easily AOTY, you could write a philosophical paper on all the songs.
whoa I didn't know Pharoah Sanders was still alive lol (I just heard of him recently).. Other week I was listening to him and alice coltranes records. great stuff
these beats are too good and as always Billy Woods and ELUCID bring nonstop heat. and solid features from Earl and Quelle Chris? 9/10 for me but I respect your opinion
I was at a billy woods show and he said despite reviewers' speculation that "cutting grass" in the song Indian Summer was some kinda coded message, he was literally talking about a job he had mowing lawns
I thought Scaffolds was one of the better songs on the record. Quite a few tracks just ran a little stale and thin by the time they reached the finish line. I particularly wanted to like Chicharonnes more but the cumbersome beat and Chris's dominance of the cut made it drag a bit Edit: I've changed my mind, Chicharonnes is fire. Quelle murders it
Granted, all of the lyricists he's been collaborating with were amazing on their own but ALC does not miss. In the last decade, I cannot think of a fully produced by The Alchemist record that wasn't heat.
How is Peppertree the track you say is especially surreal or free-associated? Seems to pretty clearly be Woods imagining his own funeral, gets a bit surreal later in the second verse but matches the mood and suggests "things unseen" which he eludes to in other tracks and suggests something possibly supernatural
Honestly, I have to disagree melon. This is easily a 9, on par if not better than Paraffin. The energy captured on this is just too magnetic and comparing and contrasting it with Brass, I think you can see an overall thematic and tonal shift that woods and ELUCID have taken after working with Moor Mother. And the Alchemist completely enters their world while still maintaining his own unique sound, allowing them to explore this creative space with ease and precision. In my opinion. Appreciate your work and loved this album. Best of the year so far.
Is this the first time the melon had to censor an album art? I mean No love deep web was already censored.
He had to censor a kali uchis album
@@dogmanbitehurt8243 The Kali one is censored on spotify too

There's not much to say about it, just one melody repeated throughout the album.

The review that I've been anticipating since finding out that Armand Hammer and The Alchemist were working together.
I guess you could say that the album cover has been pig- xelated
Stonefruit is out of this world. With the pace, lyrics, and beats are all perfect. Armands “opening doors with out my name out it” is perfect.
These guys keeping real rap alive
They’re great but I wouldn’t go that far
no they certainly are
