The Alchemist was born in Beverly Hills but his signature sound evokes the grimy thug rap vibe of the '90s New York City hip-hop scene. Artists like Nas, Lil Wayne, and Cam'ron might write him the big budget checks, but he keeps his links to the underground alive by serving tracks to Dilated Peoples and Prodigy.
