After producing for countless hip-hop legends over the past 25 years, the Alchemist surely has in his possession a treasure trove of unreleased footage highlighting various iconic studio sessions.
And now, it looks like the producer plans on releasing an “endless well of gems” into the world, as the Alchemist took to Twitter on Friday to tease plans for a new YouTube series called Phone Gold.
“Anyone that knows me knows i film everything and my phone contains an endless well of gems,” he wrote. “Starting a new youtube series called Phone Gold. Stay tuned.”
Although Alchemist hasn’t specified what type of “gems” he has in mind, there’s no denying he has a deep stable of footage to choose from. Over the course of his 25-year career, Alchemist has produced for everyone from ‘90s royalty Mobb Deep and Group Home to recent underground titans Armand Hammer and Boldy James.
Back in February, Alchemist joined forces with Currensy for their new collaborative project Continuance. Most recently, Complex’s 2021 Best Producer Alive handled production on songs from Conway the Machine (God Don’t Make Mistakes’ “Piano Love), Benny the Butcher (various tracks off Tana Talk 4), and Kendrick Lamar (Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers’ “We Cry Together”).
