The Alchemist – That'll Work
Biography
(1993 – present)
As a teen, Al began to identify strongly with the rebellious lyrics and urban sounds of hip-hop, and he began writing his own lyrics as a creative outlet. He joined up with other like-minded artists who wrote lyrics and rebelled strongly against their “uptight” suburban surroundings, among whom were Shifty Shellshock of Crazy Town, Evidence of Dilated Peoples and Scott Caan, son of James Caan. They would often hang out in urban areas of Los Angeles and participated in typical teenage rebellious activities like partying, smoking marijuana, and general mischief.
Al and Scott decided to become a duo named The Whooliganz. While rhyming at a party in L.A., they attracted the attention of B-Real of Cypress Hill. He invited the teens to join his crew, The Soul Assassins, which also included the groups House of Pain and Funkdoobiest. In 1993, the Whooliganz released their first single, “Put Your Handz Up.” The song received little radio airplay and their record label, Tommy Boy Records, decided to shelve their album. Rejected, Scott focused his creative energy on acting while Al became interested in process of making hip-hop beats.

I was a huge Alchemist fan when he was part of Dilated Peoples.Recently, his material has been really dissapointing and forgetable.

Great producer but he's been grossly overrated for more than a minute...

i welcome all future pitchfork Best New Music sheep. this album is hipster approved. ^^lmao what does this even mean it was my attempt at predicting the future review of pitchfork. after pitchfork gives an album a high score the trend followers flood the artist shoutbox. i failed though.
