Let's do this simple y'all:
Alan Daniel Maman, better known as The Alchemist, is one of hip hop's leading producers. He hails from affluent Beverly Hills, California. After rising to prominence in the late 1990s as a close associate of Dilated Peoples and Mobb Deep, he went on to produce for many of hip hop's leading artists in the 2000s.
This track is pretty old, would think they would come up with something better than this for the new album.. 1st single from the 1st album was def. better.

lol, you suckers better listen to his music.. he explained it a lot on his own album...
he was born in LA, fucked with soul assasins a lot, but wanted to do his own thing, got introduced to Mobb Deep by Muggs, so he moved to NY (still as a youth) and tried to do music on his own... and it actually worked out - he really clicked with Mobb Deep and they gave him a chance to shine. he took it.
thats all explained on the album
i think in an interview he said that he first hung out with primo? and heavy d and his producer, or maybe kool g rap's producer. one of them i recall.. anyway, 2 of NY's best producers in the hip hop game - im not into NY hip hop
but your boy Al is dope!
and i think you can always hear his Cali influence on most of his music.. its not much, but its getting trough, at least i think so - lol - imagination probably

Agreed. He explains it in the interview I did with him:
Dubcnn: You're from Los Angeles. A lot of people don't know that you're from the West Coast cause you've been mashing with the East Coast a lot...
I'm L.A. all day! *throws up L.A. sign* Basically a lot of people don't know that I grew up and I started in L.A. till I was 17. All my life, I repped L.A. till death, always West Coast. It's in me! Cypress Hill, Soul Assassins, for those who don't know! If you really wanna take it back, I was a dude in the camp, I was with with a group called The Wholagins, 1993, if you really wanna go back and do the math. I had an album and everything, Soul Assassins. West Coast Clique. It's just a blessing for me to pop it off on the West, I just felt like my calling was on the East. So I just made that move, but I always stayed down with my camp. I always told Muggs like "Yo, I'm gonna go to New York and start getting it popping." And he co-signed that, that's the big homie.
I moved out here and I was doing my thing, underneath Soul Assassins, and I eventually figured out that it was time for me to blow this Alchemist up. I gotta get this name everywhere, it's gonna be good for everybody. Through my connects with Mobb, linking up with them early when I got out here, hooking up with Premier, early when I moved out here, he was like a mentor to me. I always looked up to Premier as a producer, it's crazy now he's like one of my best friends. Like if you wanted to compare, let's say you were a new actor and you were kicking it with Robert De Niro everyday. That's how I felt when I first came out here. Like kicking it with Al Pacino or something that's how I felt about Premier. He helped me a lot when I moved out here, to transform it.
It's crazy cause when I first moved out here... the music is so powerful, a lot of people I meet they be like "Yo, you're from Queens right?" They think I grew up in Queensbridge! That's how powerful this music is. I put it down on a lot of different levels, but I'm bringing it all full circle, I got this new mixtape coming out real soon. I'm sure you'll find out on dubcnn! It's called "No Days Off", and it's heavy with the West Coast!
