  • This is a list of what I consider to be The Alchemist's 10 greatest beats. This is not in any order, though just want to say the last one is for sure my favorite.

  • @JordanClemons
    @JordanClemons Před rokem +231

    It's crazy how Alc has a signature sound that manages to mesh well with so many different artists. Curren$y sounds nothing like Boldly James, Boldly James sounds nothing like Nas, and they all sound incredible over ALC production.

    I would do a top ten for each year hes been producing. His style has evolved so much over the years but he always has that certain vibe that sticks with you. He's my favorite producer alive right now and that's saying a lot since he drops multiple albums each year. Enjoy seeing people's favorite Alchemist beats. So many to choose from.
