The Alchemist and Action Bronson have undeniable chemistry when it comes to making hip-hop gold. There’s something about hearing Action’s outlandish rhymes over alchemist beats. They continue to shoot perfect from the field with their latest collaboration, “Voodoo,” which is featured on Alchemist’s latest album “Retarded Alligator Beats.” The album drops July 10th, so be on the lookout for that. You can pre-order the album here. Listen to the smooth blend of instrumental and witty rhymes below.

New Music: Chief Keef – “Voodoo” (Prod. KCDaBeatMonster)

Amidst rumors (emphasis on the word RUMOR) of a collab with Drake, Chief Keef drops another new track “Voodoo.” (Prod. by KCDaBeatMonster) “Voodoo” sticks to the same musical script we’re accustomed to from the GLO Gang Capo, low-key vocals over profound snare claps, just the way his fans like it. Could this be a prelude to a collab with Drake? A full GLOVO project? Hope we get some answers soon because waiting, well “that’s that sh*t I don’t like.”

In Plain Sight: “Left & Right” – D’Angelo ft. Redman and Method Man

In Plain Sight will take a look at songs from popular albums or classics that, for one reason or another, seem to get overlooked–tracks hidden in plain sight. Gotta give the deep cuts their shine!

You know the album: Voodoo. Naturally, you know the video: “Untitled (How Does It Feel),” a shirtless D’Angelo belting and skin-bearing his way to becoming an sex symbol. The album itself, presenting a progression from the jazzy jamming of Brown Sugar to a sleeker take on hip-hop soul, should have been cause enough to vault him to stardom. Songs like the aforementioned “Untitled” and DJ Premier collab “Devil’s Pie” get the shine and rightfully so. They showcase D’Angelo, bearing the torch lit by the greatest men and women of soul, as a potent songwriter and world weary observer.

But, of course, there still has to be some time to jam. And “Left & Right” is a jam. Bringing eternal party boys Red and Meth along for the show, D’Angelo crafted a perfect encapsulation of his sonic evolution with “Left & Right.” This jam replaced the jazzy meandering of Sugar with a tight, slick groove that still gave him room to stretch out over the track with his signature warbled vocals. “Left & Right” is an infectious reminder of D’Angelo’s potential and of the artistic heights he had already reached by his second album. So throw this one on and hope that his promised third album can stand up to over a decade of playing the shit out of Voodoo.
