Get it Together (pt 3)

Continuing the preview of some notable collaborations happening this year in hip hop, last time we talked about a "supergroup" that included a producer who did double duty on the mic, the project discussed today brings together two track masters who spit bars as well as beats.

Gangrene
Announced some time last year, the dynamic duo of The Alchemist and Oh No are set to do damage when they release their Gangrene project in the coming months. Most hop hop fans are familiar with Alchemist's production, if not his rhymes. OhNo might be familiar to fans of the Stones Throw hip hop label, but he has yet to gain the attention he deserves, and is often mentioned in relation to his brother Madlib, rather than for his own unique production, and distinct off-beat/on-beat lyrical skills.

If the Acts of Violence track off Alchemist's recently released Chemical Warfare is any indication, fans can look forward to some disgusting beats that meld Oh No's heroin headnod thump with Alchemist's rock-infused bangers. Alchemist may be better know for his beats than his flows, but he holds his own next to the other MCs (Roc C and Crooked I), and Oh No never dissapoints on the mic, or the boards. In addition to the track off Alc's latest, a video for Under Siege surfaced earlier this summer that gives fans another taste of what we can only assume will be one of the most insane albums of the year. The two apparently also did some work on the recently released GTA China Town Wars game soundtrack as well.
