Bledsoe and Pray for Him is like a peak Tyson one-two

You can lowkey tell that Alc had full creative control over this because of how good the production is and I just wish he had this level of control on everything he did.

I’m sure I’ve already spun this album more than I have Voir Dire

Be Realistic

Not better than Vior Dire though 😛

The whole thing is growing on me but I’m still unsure

I just feel like the first four tracks have this amazing mysterious and surreal sounding vibe that gets kind of abandoned in the second half of the album

I also still really dislike the Be Realistic beat, didn’t care for it back when it first dropped

As a fan of One More EP, when I take out the factor that I’ve ran that s*** a 100 times already, this is a solid body of work start to finish imo

why's it not on AM still

It is

One More recontextualized in its right place as the outro is so great, you can tell they had the album done before they dropped the EP and made it all together in a short time

nah not working for me. oh well

Pretty certain they didn't. The EP came about due to Patta.

Then they all got the idea to do a full length. I remember Wiki talking about it in an interview. Might even have been the one with YNS. I remember him stressing though that they hadn't necessarily commited to a full length at that stage, just were exploring the idea and he was hopeful.

same, can only play mayors a cop everything else is greyed out

Interesting, if true then they just picked the perfect spot for One More

But tbh from what you’re saying I wouldn’t be surprised if they were just playing it close to the chest at that point and weren’t committed to dropping the album, so they dropped the EP selections to gauge reception and demand, like many artists do. But that doesn’t mean the album didn’t exist already

Just knowing how Alc always seems to work, and the cohesion of this project, with the last song saying “this ain’t the outro this ain’t the encore, just one more thing to say before I’m out”, it just very much sounds like it was recorded in a week of these guys hanging out. I’d have to see the exact quotes but I feel like it could go either way.

Even the title, it’s like they were at 9 tracks and needed “one more” so they made that last one in an outro mode. The title and lyrics make more sense in that context

Did y'all pay y'all Apple Music bill?

I’m not talking s*** because I like the music.. but the thread titles for alch albums always follow with ‘RAOTY’ like come on bro not everything he drops is that standard and you gotta accept that.

Did y’all try like closing the app and opening or maybe deleting One More if you have it downloaded or something

If you can show me an Alchemist project on KTT that ever said RAOTY I'll cashapp you $50.

first half is really good but gets real sleepy in the back half for me

@safe Pin pls

Classic btw .

These Al beats

Bledsoe sample is beautiful

About to spin this for the first time.

What's y'all initial thoughts?

Uncle Al cant miss

Chemistry is amazing and it’s the perfect length, we won tremendously
