The Alchemist spent years earning a reputation for dense, sample-driven production in underground hip-hop before Erykah Badu showed up as his most unlikely client yet, this joint album her first full batch of new music since 2010's New Amerykah Part Two. The two teased the pairing back in 2025, and the record follows through on the bit: Thundercat, Steve Lacy, Earl Sweatshirt, Kamasi Washington, and Westside Gunn all turn up. The twist: Badu raps about as often as she sings, blurring her usual lines between the two into something looser than her earlier solo work.
