As promised, The Alchemist’s Yacht Rock 2  is on its way. On Friday (August 9), the veteran beat magician shared a clip of “Ocean Prime” featuring Boldy James and revealed the project would be out before the month is up.

“Boldy James – ‘Ocean Prime,'” he captioned the video. “YACHT ROCK 2. AUG 30th.”

The original Yacht Rock EP was released in 2012 and featured Chuck Inglish, Blu, Oh No and more. The Beverly Hills native recently teamed up with Inglish once again on The Cool Kids’ Layups EP.

In another tweet last month, Alchemist promised the upcoming effort is going to rule the summer.

The Alchemist has provided an update on the follow-up to his 2012 Yacht Rock EP, which featured the likes of Action Bronson, Oh No, Chuck Inglish, Blu, Big Twins and Roc Marciano.

The tenured producer hit Twitter on Tuesday (July 30) to inform his fans Yacht Rock 2  is on the way — and will apparently arrive in the not-so-distant future.

“YACHT ROCK 2 WILL BE YOURS VERY SOON,” he wrote. “I’M JUST BEING GREEDY ENJOYING IT BEFORE IT RULES THE SUMMER AND EVERYONE HAS IT. STAY EXTREMELY TUNED.”

The 41-year-old Beverly Hills native dropped the Bread EP last year and more recently, teamed up with Chuck Inglish and Sir Michael Rocks of The Cool Kids for their  Layups EP. 

He also dropped “W.Y.G.D.T.N.S.” with ScHoolboy Q on vinyl earlier this week.

Alchemist started stacking his expansive discography in 2000 with the Gangster Theme Music instrumental album. Over the years, he’s collaborated with everyone from Mobb Deep and Curren$y to Fashawn and Evidence (as Step Brothers).

• DETAILS DETAILS

One of the most revered and prolific rap producers of his generation, the Alchemist crafts sample-heavy, tough, yet detailed beats suffused with soul. His extensive discography, dating back to the early 1990s, includes tracks by the likes of Dilated Peoples, Mobb Deep, Nas, Ghostface Killah, Lil Wayne, and Kendrick Lamar, and he's so valued as a collaborator that he has been behind joint albums co-billed with the likes of Prodigy (Return of the Mac, 2007), Oh No (including Gutter Water, the duo's first album as Gangrene, 2010), Curren$y (Covert Coup, 2011 and again in 2022 with critical favorite Continuance), Freddie Gibbs (Alfredo, 2020), and Roc Marciano (The Elephant Man's Bones, 2022). One of his highest-charting albums, the Larry June collaboration The Great Escape, appeared in 2023, as well as albums with MIKE and Earl Sweatshirt. Blacks & Whites with Big Hit and Hit-Boy was issued in 2024. In addition to his supporting work as a beatmaker, he has delivered numerous concurrent projects as a headliner and occasional rapper, such as the albums 1st Infantry, Chemical Warfare, and Russian Roulette, and a ceiling-scraping stack of EPs, mixtapes, and instrumental sets. He's also Eminem's long-tenured official DJ.

Born Alan Maman, the Alchemist grew up in Beverly Hills and began his career in nearby Los Angeles. As a teenager, when he was known as Mudfoot, he was part of the Whooliganz (with Scott Caan, son of James) and DJ Muggs' Soul Assassins collective. The Whooliganz released the single "Put Your Handz Up" on Tommy Boy in 1993, but their debut full-length, Make Way for the W, was shelved. Alchemist continued making beats, however, working with and learning from Muggs on 1995's Cypress Hill III: Temples of Boom as well as with childhood friend Evidence of Dilated Peoples. These connections led to a prolific career.

After moving to New York to attend college, Al hooked up with Queensbridge duo Mobb Deep, producing the songs "The Realest" and "Thug Music" for their 1999 album Murda Muzik. The collaboration was followed by work with Pharoahe Monch, Royce da 5'9", Fat Joe, Ludacris, Big Daddy Kane, and Ghostface Killah, among many other rappers, and even rock and electronica acts like Linkin Park and Morcheeba. Across 2003 and 2004, the Alchemist released his first tapes, as well as his first proper solo full-length, 1st Infantry, which, besides featuring his own beats, also had him rapping alongside Stat Quo, the Game, Lloyd Banks, Mobb Deep, and Dilated Peoples. In 2005, after Eminem's DJ Green Lantern left the Anger Management 3 tour, the Detroit rapper hired Al as his replacement.

In 2006, Alchemist continued to showcase his work with The Chemistry Files and No Days Off, a pair of mixtapes containing previously released and unreleased material. After supporting Prodigy on the 2007 album Return of the Mac and producing "You Ain't Got Nuthin" for Lil Wayne's Grammy-nominated 2008 LP Tha Carter III, Alchemist tended to his solo discography with 2009's Chemical Warfare, featuring the likes of Eminem and Juvenile. The next year, he and Oh No launched their Gangrene project with the Sawblade EP and the Gutter Water LP. The year 2012 found him releasing Vol. 2 of Rapper's Best Friend along with Gangrene's Vodka & Ayahuasca, and his own Russian Roulette, an album built by sampling Russian music. A year later, he worked again with Prodigy on the album Albert Einstein and produced the entirety of Boldy James' My 1st Chemistry Set. Affiliation with Oh No continued with Welcome to Los Santos, a 2015 collection inspired by the virtual radio stations found in the video game Grand Theft Auto V. The same year, Alchemist assembled the Israeli Salad beat tape, featuring samples from radio broadcasts and thrift store albums the producer sourced in Israel.

During the next few years, the Alchemist was behind collaborative projects with the likes of Curren$y, Havoc, and Jay Worthy. He issued a fourth volume of Rapper's Best Friend and continued to produce for a select group of artists, most prominently Kendrick Lamar (namely "FEAR."), Westside Gunn, and Anderson .Paak. He continued collaborating, joining Freddie Gibbs and Curren$y on 2018's Fetti and the Cool Kids on 2019's Layups. In 2020 alone, he joined Boldy James (The Price of Tea in China), Conway the Machine (LULU), and Gibbs (Alfredo). Another highly collaborative EP, This Thing of Ours, followed in 2021, featuring guests like Earl Sweatshirt and Navy Blue. February of 2022 saw the release of Continuance, another joint venture between the Alchemist and Curren$y. The album saw both entities in top form and included guest appearances from Styles P, Boldy James, Larry June, and others. The Elephant Man's Bones, the Alchemist's first full album with Roc Marciano, followed later in the year.

The Great Escape, a 2023 full-length with Larry June, reached the Top 40 of the Billboard 200. The same year brought full-lengths with two members of the Odd Future family, Domo Genesis (No Idols) and Earl Sweatshirt (VOIR DIRE). His other major collaborative release during the year was Faith Is a Rock, with MIKE and Wiki. Additionally, he released two Flying High EPs, featuring guests like billy woods, Boldy James, and Action Bronson, as well as instrumental versions. The year concluded with Hall & Nash 2, a collaboration with Westside Gunn and Conway the Machine. In 2024, he released the EP Theodore & Andre with Hit-Boy and the Gangrene album Heads I Win, Tails You Lose. He also teamed up with Big Hit and Hit-Boy for the project Blacks & Whites and issued the solo single "Seasons Change." ~ Andy Kellman & Marisa Brown

The reunion of Mach-Hommy and Westside Gunn is one that was overdue but well worth the wait. West's curational abilities are on point here as the beat selection is fantastic and Mach-Hommy delivers several amazing performances whether he's dropping intricate lyrics or singing. His usual embrace of his Haitian identity and Haitian Creole is the cherry on top, giving "Pray For Haiti" Mach's personal touch/flair. stef
