PAN M 360 / TOP 100 : The Alchemist – Flying High

· by Guillaume Laberge

Legendary producer The Alchemist has had a pretty busy 2023, working on several different projects, all hitting big. On the other hand, it is his Flying High EP released at the end of June that stands out from the others. Accompanied by a lineup of MCs who can be compared to the Avengers of underground rap such as Earl Sweatshirt, Boldy James, MIKE, and Larry June (to name a few), the Californian beatmaker makes the task of his soldiers easier by concocting songs that complement each of his colleagues very well. The production stands out from other projects released in the genre this year, in particular, thanks to quite adventurous, perfectly placed samples. We are even treated to a rare verse from The Alchemist, who raps at the end of the last song “Midnight Oil” using a cadence resembling that of his long-time colleague Roc Marciano. Flying High proves to be a gem, not only in the American underground rap scene but also in The Alchemist’s extensive catalog.
