Alan the Chemist

Thanks to a competition by @hiphopchronicle, I've won a guest list spot for Saturday's soundclash between The Alchemist and Just Blaze.


In honour of this, I've dug out '1st Infantry', The Alchemist's debut album. It takes me back to my last year at Uni; hazy days spent listening to virtually every hiphop release that I could get my hands on. Here's one of my faves:

Tick Tock - Alchemist, Nas and Prodigy



His production credits also belong to:

The Forest - Ghostface Killah and Raekwon



No Idea's Original - Nas



Marathon - Dilated Peoples



The Realest - Mobb Deep and Kool G Rap



This is just a handful of tracks that mean something to me for varying reasons. I could post videos forever as he's such a prolific hiphop producer: Win or Lose, Book of Rhymes, Latin Thugs, Mama...
