Last year, the Alchemist teamed up with New York rappers MIKE and Wiki for three songs: “One More,” “Be Realistic,” and “Odd Ways.” Now, the trio has announced a full-length album, Faith Is a Rock, which is out next Friday, September 22, via the producer’s ALC Records. See the album artwork below.
The Alchemist recently teamed up with Earl Sweatshirt for Voir Dire. The surprise album features MIKE on “Sentry.” Earlier in 2023, the producer released a deluxe update of The Elephant Man’s Bones, the Larry June collaboration The Great Escape, and the Flying High EP, featuring MIKE and Tigrayan rapper Sideshow on “Bless.” In November, the Alchemist will go on the Voir Dire Tour with Earl Sweatshirt and guests MIKE and Black Noi$e. See those tour dates below.
Last week, MIKE dropped the music video for his Beware of the Monkey song “Ipari Park.” He also announced the album’s vinyl release.
Back in May, Wiki dropped Papiseed Street Vol. 1. Revisit the 2021 interview “Live From Wiki’s New York, With Love” on the Pitch.
