Career[edit]
As a teenager, Maman began to identify strongly with the rebellious lyrics and u
rban sounds of hip-hop, and he began writing his own lyrics. He joined up with o
ther like-minded artists who wrote lyrics and rebelled against their suburban su
rroundings. These included Shifty Shellshock of Crazy Town, Evidence and Scott C
aan, son of James Caan. In 1991, a 14-year-old Maman and Scott Caan decided to b
ecome a duo named The Whooliganz.[3][4] While rhyming at a party in L.A., they a
ttracted the attention of B-Real of Cypress Hill. He invited the teens to join h
is crew, The Soul Assassins, which also included the groups House of Pain and Fu
nkdoobiest.[3] In 1993, the Whooliganz released their first single, "Put Your Ha
ndz Up." The song received little radio airplay and their record label, Tommy Bo
y Records, decided to shelve their album.[3] Rejected, Scott focused his creativ
e energy on acting while Al became interested in process of making hip-hop beats
.
DJ Muggs took Al under his wing and taught him how to use a sampler and mixing b
oard.[3] After helping to produce a few tracks for Cypress Hill, Al became the m
ain producer for his childhood friend, Evidence and his group Dilated Peoples.
When Dilated Peoples debuted in 1998, they helped promote Maman as a key part of
their sound. Alchemist also produced several tracks on the debut album Focused
Daily by Defari, another Dilated and Alkaholik affiliate. In 1999, Muggs introdu
ced Al to his good friends, the popular hip-hop group Mobb Deep. Al produced two
songs for their Murda Muzik album.[3] Impressed by his production skills and st
reet smarts, Mobb Deep took him under their wing, using his beats on all their s
ubsequent albums. As Alchemist's profile increased, he went on to produce for ma
ny of hip hop's most successful and prominent artists, such as Nas, Fat Joe, Jad
akiss, Ghostface Killah and Snoop Dogg.[3] He has also remixed songs for bands a
nd artists in other genres such as Linkin Park and Morcheeba.[3] Al stayed loyal
to his old friends, continuing to produce for Dilated, Cypress Hill and Crazy T
own. He also enjoys producing for lesser-known underground rappers, often giving
them some of his best beats.
In 2004, six years after his rapping career folded, The Alchemist put out his de
but album, 1st Infantry. The album yielded the single "Hold You Down" (featuring
Prodigy, Illa Ghee and Nina Sky), which hit number ninety-five on the Billboard
Hot 100 in 2005.
Ras Kass feud[edit]
In 1999, The Alchemist was set to produce three tracks for American rapper Ras K
ass' then-upcoming album Van Gogh, which was scheduled for a late 2000 release a
t the time. One of the said tracks was "Home Sweet Home", which was to be the le
ad single for Ras Kass' album. After The Alchemist received the first half of th
e payment for the beat, he said Ras Kass' record label (Priority) was ignoring h
im. They later met up in August, at the Source Awards in Pasadena, California, w
here Alchemist informed Kass that he'd been showcasing the beat to other artists
. Jadakiss would then go on to record "We Gonna Make It" over the same beat, on
his 2001 release, Kiss Tha Game Goodbye. When Ras Kass took notice, he attempted
to stop the release by releasing his version of the song on mixtapes, but to no
success.[5] This prompted Ras to diss Alchemist in freestyles and on a track fr
om Van Gogh. Eventually the beef ended so he could concentrate on his legal prob
lems but still cited a loss of respect for the producer. In an interview with ww
w.hiphopgame.com, Ras admitted that he was being stubborn and refused to listen
to what the Alchemist was trying to tell him. The two have since squashed the be
ef and Alchemist produced the song "Past, Future, and Present" and did the intro
for the song that appeared on the 2006 mixtape Revenge of the Spit. In 2011, Ra
s Kass appeared (together with rapper Raekwon) on fellow rapper Evidence's album
Cats & Dogs, on a song called "The Red Carpet", which was produced by The Alche
mist.
Other projects[edit]
The Alchemist is one of the music producers behind the 10th installment of Grand
Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars released by Rockstar Games. He was also on Tim Westw
ood TV, when Eminem, Royce Da 5'9" and Mr. Porter freestyled. During an intervie
w with Worldwide Conspiracy Radio, The Alchemist revealed he would be dropping a
2-part project with fellow west coast producer Oh No entitled Gangrene, the fir
st to be released in July, the second in November, both on Decon. Alchemist was
also the DJ for the Eminem set on the BBC1 chat-show Jonathan Ross on June 4, 20
10.
Shady Records[edit]
Alchemist is Eminem's official DJ, since DJ Green Lantern departed from Shady Re
cords in 2005 because of a dispute related to the feud of 50 Cent and Jadakiss.
In 2006, Eminem released a collaboration album with Shady Records called Eminem
Presents: The Re-Up. Since the Alchemist is his official DJ, he produced some of
tracks on the mixtape, as well as compiling the album in a mixtape fashion. On
December 18, 2013, he was named the runner-up for producer of the year by HipHop
DX.[6]

swer to a fan's question (about this project and a sequel to Covert Coup) that h

Musical signature[edit]
"The Alchemist's Signature"
MENU0:00
Problems playing this file? See media help.
The Alchemist utilizes a musical signature that he places towards the beginning
(although not always) of many of the songs he produces. The signature is a disto
rted voice recording of rapper Prodigy saying "Alchemist" (in the distorted reco
rding it sounds much like "A-A-A-A-A-Alchemist").
