Playboi Carti Dominates Charts with “MUSIC” as The Alchemist Teases More Heat
With April Fool’s Day still lingering in the air, fans were left in disbelief when a rumored collaboration between Playboi Carti and The Alchemist surfaced online on April 2. The leaked track, allegedly titled “Take The Soul” by A$AP Nast, features hazy yet captivating vocals from Carti, set against a signature Alchemist beat. HipHopDX reports that the “FOMDJ” rapper delivers an unconventional flow over the sun-kissed and earthy production, showcasing the chemistry between Carti and Uncle Al.
The speculation only grew when The Alchemist himself responded cryptically to a fan’s request for an Opium x ALC crossover. “Imagine if I didn’t make this beat,” he teased on Twitter, further fueling the rumors. Known for his playful trolling on social media, The Alchemist’s comment leaves fans unsure whether to believe the hype. However, that hasn’t stopped hip-hop heads from appreciating the unexpected blend of styles in “Take The Soul.”
A Potential Artistic Collision
This leak has left fans wondering if Playboi Carti and The Alchemist could officially collaborate on future projects. The legendary producer has a reputation for seamlessly blending his classic, sample-heavy beats with a variety of artists, including Travis Scott and Drake in 2023. Despite their different sonic approaches, his collaborations with these mainstream giants resulted in standout tracks like “LOST FOREVER” and “Wick Man.”
Playboi Carti’s “BABY BOI” and Future Collaborations
While fans continue to wait for Playboi Carti’s long-anticipated “BABY BOI” album, the possibility of him exploring new production styles is an exciting prospect. With his chameleon-like ability to reinvent his sound, a collaboration with The Alchemist could mark a bold new direction for the enigmatic rapper.
Meanwhile, The Alchemist remains as busy as ever. Not only is he set to produce Erykah Badu’s upcoming album in its entirety, but he is also contributing to the highly anticipated Mobb Deep project. With his ever-expanding portfolio, it wouldn’t be surprising if he found time to craft something fresh with Playboi Carti.
As the industry continues to evolve, unexpected collaborations like this prove that boundaries in hip-hop are meant to be pushed. Whether “Take The Soul” was just a leaked experiment or a preview of what’s to come, fans are eager to see if this unusual pairing will materialize into a full-fledged project.
