Review: Chemical Warfare
Alchemist has been one of the top producers in the game for years, with a style that truly sets him a part from his peers. This Tuesday ALC drops his second solo project titled “Chemical Warfare”. His previous effort “1st Infantry” came out in 2004 and the game has changed since then. There’s been a significant shift away from the hardcore, gritty realism that Alchemist beats are more often then not the theme music for. Yet Alchemist has proven with his new album that his production skills transcends eras, trends/fads and still stay true to what he’s about and what he’s been doing for years.

Brought to us by Focus Media and featuring a cavalcade of artist and DJ’s from the underground to the mainstream.

Music moguls afford a lifestyle comparable to what we see on mtv cribs. Eventually hip hop artist would adapt the record company formula, and start to strategically promote and market there own music. This has created a conflict inside the industry. The Record companies, in conjunction with the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), have declared war. Offices have been raided, Mom and Pop stores have been closed, and many have been arrested. Hip Hop Artists, Djs, and producers have decided that the only way to survive in the music business is to “Kill The Record Labels”.WATCH IT NOW ON DEMAND AT KILLTHERECORDLABELS.COM”
