The Alchemist doesn’t just make beats—he builds worlds.
This short film is an intimate dive into the process and philosophy of one of hip-hop’s most celebrated producers. Narrated in his own words and paired with rare, behind-the-scenes footage, this isn’t about how he makes his music—it’s about why.
From dusty loops to drum breaks that cut like razor blades, The Alchemist shares the essence of his craft: the stories behind the sounds, the art of digging, and the alchemy of turning the mundane into the magical.
This is hip-hop at its rawest and most introspective. No gimmicks, no shortcuts—just culture, creativity, and commitment to the craft.
What’s Inside:
Rare behind-the-scenes footage 🎥
Narration by The Alchemist himself 🎙️
A glimpse into the mind of a producer who redefined the sound of modern hip-hop 🎧
he has a body problem, he bends like an eating duck, pushes a button and his hand goes waaa like he's catching a fly so stupid… and his beats are like every other beat, nothing crazy… "i wish I could never sleep" hahaha asshole
3:15 needs to be released that beat is beautiful
I've been making music for a long time but this video really inspired and changed me, follow your dreams if you read this!
Alchemist my favorite producer
Early morning is the best time to make a beat
anybody know the opening intro song? so good
I lived next door to Walter bro, he was a sick producer!
Does this track? Did you made the track or the track made you? Ultra samplable
בוקר טוב לכל המאזינים!
God's new
This is beautiful
Music is therapy; it's spiritual. – Alchemist
Alchemist is like top 5 of all time producers. Maybe the best.
Ironic for him to have his own drum pack when 90% of his beats now don’t even have drums
3:18 Tascam digital hand recorder plugged in, nice
it's handy and fast to record percussion or sum like that
if you connect it with a DC 5v USB cable you don't even need batteries in it, it's powered by the computer.
don't know exactly which Tascam model is that but I can see that is nice, has 4 XLR lines plus the top standard stereo mics
he has a body problem, he bends like an eating duck, pushes a button and his hand goes waaa like he's catching a fly so stupid… and his beats are like every other beat, nothing crazy… "i wish I could never sleep" hahaha asshole
