Check out The Alchemist’s latest EP, which continues his long tradition of providing the music for some of Hip Hop’s best-kept secrets. It features collaborations with Wiki and Mike.
The trio’s diversity of abilities is showcased by the three songs included in the surprise care package: the soulful “One More,” the edgy, Wiki-directed “Be Realistic,” and “Odd Ways,” which features Mike spitting his customary contemplative lyrics over peaceful, ethereal production.
“One More” comes complete with an accompanying music video directed by Nicholas Stafford Briggs and finds The Alchemist, Wiki, and Mike kicking back in the heart of New York City, the concrete jungle that has molded their respective styles.
The trio is also shown in the film sporting 90s-inspired clothing from the upcoming Tommy Hilfiger and Dutch streetwear brand Patta collaboration, which debuts on December 2.
I go back a long time with my guys @patta_nl. While in Amsterdam last year, we linked & they were saying they were getting ready to do their second collaboration with @tommyjeans, “The Alchemist explained on Instagram. “Before they created the powerhouse that is Patta, they used to run the Fat Beats store in Amsterdam, so music (and vinyl in particular) has always been a mutual world for us.
The Alchemist, who worked with Patta previously on a capsule collection for his LULU project with Conway The Machine in 2020, suggested that the EP is only a preview of what’s to come from Wiki, Mike, and himself.
Wiki and New Jersey-born artist Subjxct 5 just released their collaborative album Cold Cuts, while Mike recently wrapped up a tour with Freddie Gibbs and is about to publish his new album Beware of the Monkey on December 21.
