- The LA & London hip-hop producers have made a gospel-themed double album featuring rappers like Roc Marciano and Action Bronson.
The Alchemist has teamed up with Budgie for The Good Book, out tomorrow.
Alchemist is a well-known hip-hop producer from LA whose instrumental discography stretches across countless albums and beat tapes (including recent collaborations with Mobb Deep's Prodigy and Domo Genesis), while London-based Budgie is part of the Livin' Proof crew. The Good Book features a disc of beats from each artist, built entirely around gospel samples ("[sharing] the near religious experience many of us draw from hip-hop") and featuring a number of collaborators including rappers Action Bronson and Roc Marciano, as well as Genesis and J. Rocc, plus others. It'll come in a limited edition box set (which is designed to look like a book, of course) of 1000 copies. It'll come through the All Is Fair Agency label's BAU Music, and you can stream first taster "In Heaven's Home" with Marciano and Prodigy below.
