The Alchemist is starting a new web series called "Let The Beat Build" where he takes you into the studio so you can see the process behind some of his latest work. This is part 1, featuring the song "Keys To The City" with Prodigy and Nina Sky.
The Alchemist's latest release, The Alchemist's Cookbook EP, is available via iTunes today. The EP features Prodigy, Nina Sky, Capone-N-Noreaga, Styles P, Evidence, and more. Today, courtesy of OnSmash, we get one of the singles off the projcted called "Therapy" featuring Blu, Evidence, and KiD CuDi. This song definitely leaves you craving for more collabos from these artists. Follow me after the jump to watch this sick video for "Lose Your Life" featuring Pusha T, Snoop Dogg, and Jadakiss. The vid is on some bugged out animated Horror Core ish.

The Step Brothers (Evidence & Alchemist) lay it down for the latest video from Ev's upcoming The Layover EP (11/25). The video is for "So Fresh" and shows the duo skateboarding and weed copping down in SoCal, livin' that good life.
We tried to warn y'all about the stash of ridiculously hot videos Evidence has compiled for tracks off his upcoming EP/DVD, The Layover. "The Far Left" is another one off the project and features Ev, The Alchemist (rapping and producing) and Fashawn all repping Cali hard. The video is inspired by Bob Dylan's classic "Subterranean Homesick Blues" which was later borrowed by INXS for their "Mediate" video. Don't play yourself with some factory speakers on this one, turn the woofers up 'cause this one bangs.
We've been letting you know about Decon's latest release, Fresh Rhymes and Videotape for a minute via our exclusive pre-order. Today the DVD/CD officially drops. If you weren't convinced by "The FRV Anthem," here's another banger that should get you over to the OKP store to make that purchase. Alchemist teams up with Dilated Peoples for this song "The Last is First."

We hope you all watched VH1's Hip Hop Honors last night, at least to catch The Roots performing a special tribute to Isaac Hayes. More on that later. In the mean time, to further celebrate the event, Mick Boogie, NahRight, PressPlayFashionforward, and LRG hooked up for The Honor Roll Mixtape. Mick took some of the hottest in the game and had them remake classics from last night's honorees; Cypress Hill, De La Soul, Slick Rick, Too Short, and Naughty by Nature. Artists on the tape include; Freeway, Alchemist, Evidence, Tanya Morgan, Skyzoo, Joell Ortiz, Pac Div, Talib Kweli, Little Brother and more. To give you a sample, here is one of the many heat rocks off the project with U-N-I's rendition of De La's "Stakes Is High" produced by the homie 6th Sense. Follow me after the jump for the tracklisting and download link.
Our good friends at Decon hit us up with this "Anthem" off of their upcoming EP, Decon Explains:

Evidence is clearly on his grind right now. Today we get yet another joint, this one featuring Ev alongside Alchemist. This one is supposedly off Ev's upcoming mixtape "The Layover" scheduled to hit the streets in September in preparation for the "Cats and Dogs" LP. The song is called "Calmly Smoke."
