The Alchemist Announces “Hall & Nash 2” With Westside Gunn & Conway The Machine

by

Just when we thought Christmas Day couldn’t get any better in 2023, we have a new (and hopefully fantastic) album to look forward to. Moreover, The Alchemist announced that he will be releasing the original version of the Hall & Nash 2 mixtape with Westside Gunn and Conway The Machine. This will continue the prolific run that these artists have been on for years now, but it comes with some historical context. It’s a sequel project to the Griselda rappers’ original tape from around 2015, and this original version will drop exclusively in physical formats (vinyl, cassettes, and CDs) on Friday, December 29 with a new version coming later in 2024. Let’s allow Uncle Al to explain.

“When i first linked with @westsidegunn & @whoisconway the original plan was to do a Hall & Nash 2 tape,” The Alchemist wrote. “From the first day in the lab, i knew i needed these guys on my beats more than they needed my beats. The s**t was coming out cr*zy. They linked with [ScHoolboy Q] one day at my spot and made one. We knew we had something good. While we were finishing the project, they signed their deal with Shady.

“We ended up changing the plan to drop H&N2, & over time used some of the songs for different things,” The Alchemist continued. “But a handful of songs never came out, & the original version of the album was never released. Now for the first time, the OG version of Hall & Nash 2 will be released on vinyl cd and tape. Collectors item for the day ones. FRIDAY. 12 NOON E.S.T. ALCRECORDS.COM. Limited version artwork by @ral_duke . Next year me @daringer_ Wes & Conway already cooking an official HALL & NASH 2. u have been warned.“

Meanwhile, this comes after the legendary producer cosigned Kid Cudi’s idea for a collaborative project. As such, we could be getting a whole lot more greatness from these creatives in 2024, which shouldn’t surprise anyone. After all, they put out too much amazing stuff to expect any less from them.

Boldy James is undeniably one of the busiest rappers in the game. Over the course of the past few years, the Detroit native has worked tirelessly to maintain this title.

Ever since 2020, the 40-year-old has dropped several projects each year. He’s now getting ready to drop yet another one. However, this offering will only be releasing physically.

The new EP, titled ADU, will be entirely produced by Real Bad Man and will be released via RCC Music. Copies on vinyl, CD and cassettes will be available to purchase on January 16. The official announcement was made by the producer on his Instagram account. “This is a physical release through @rrcmusic.co[.] No digital, no streaming […] no pre-orders,” he writes in part of the post’s caption.

Furthermore, he also reveals the tracklist in small font at the bottom of the photo. It appears as though the project will contain six new tracks. Side A will feature the first three tracks, “Hellblock to the Sunnyside,” “Hot Cakes” and “Big Bags.” Meanwhile, Side B will contain the last three songs, “Sweetest Taboo,” “Jonny On the Spot” and “Give Or Take.”

Additionally, ADU will mark the duo’s third collaborative album. The first one is 2020’s Real Bad Boldy.

In 2022 alone, Boldy released four different albums. All of which are full-length collaborations with different producers. He kicked off his year with the release of Killing Nothing in May, which serves as his second full-length album with Real Bad Man.

The Nicholas Craven collab, Fair Exchange No Robbery arrived in September, followed by the Futurewave-produced Mr. Ten08. Afterwards, he closed out his year with Be That as It May, with Cuns producing the entirety of this one.
