THE ALCHEMIST FORMALISES URBAN CINEMA WITH SURPRISE EP ‘LIQUID FORM’ FEATURING KOOL G RAP, 2 CHAINZ, CONWAY THE MACHINE, AND BOLDY JAMES
LOS ANGELES, CA – JUNE 19, 2026 — ALC Records proudly announces the surprise release of LIQUID FORM, the highly anticipated new EP from Grammy-nominated producer and modern underground architect The Alchemist. Arriving right in time for a massive summer season highlighted by highly anticipated live dates alongside Erykah Badu and DJ Premier, the 8-track project offers an uncompromising showcase of foundational boom-bap, stark sample archaeology, and elite lyrical craftsmanship.
LIQUID FORM behaves exactly like its title implies, serving as a fluid canvas that morphs perfectly around the distinct styles of four generation-spanning hip-hop titans. The tracklist moves from the gritty, legendary street-reminiscences of Queens pioneer Kool G Rap to the unbothered, high-luxury boastings of Atlanta giant 2 Chainz. Griselda powerhouse Conway the Machine delivers a masterful blend of profane brags and rugged melodies, while Detroit underground staple Boldy James blankets a bleak, jazz-imbued atmosphere with his trademark cold-blooded delivery.
True to The Alchemist’s dedication to pure sonic architecture, the EP splits evenly between vocal tracks and their complete instrumental counterparts, clocking in at a concise, cinematic 27 minutes. It provides a raw look into a master producer at the peak of his power, effortlessly distilling psych-jazz, dusty soul breaks, and eerie noir textures into a pristine short-form statement.

1. Gutter Pain (feat. Kool G Rap)
2. Beat Like A Key (feat. 2 Chainz)
