Timeless beats: my ALC appreciation post

Been a fan of the Alchemist since my high school days, I’m 38 now. I remember I had saved up to buy both 1st Infantry and the College Drop Out at this local record store called “Ritmo Latino”…I was a junior in HS at the time..I remember the first time hearing that intro to 1st infantry. The horns blasting while the little snippets of his previous beats blended perfectly with the tempo of the drums. Maaan! Alchemist came in hot with that album, nothing but bangers! Instantly I was hooked! But anywho this is just an appreciation post, it’s been dope to see ALC evolve into one of the, if not thee greatest HIP-HOP producers in the game. Also I wanted to share these dope throwback Alchemist beats for all the newer and younger fans. Back when the Alchemist was in his ASR-10 bag, enjoy!
