Curren$y, Larry June and The Alchemist Set February Release for Long Awaited Collaborative Album

Curren$y, Larry June and The Alchemist are finally ready to deliver their long awaited collaborative album, confirming that the project will arrive on February 20. The announcement came directly from Curren$y during a recent interview with NOLA News, where he revealed that the trio have already shot three music videos in preparation for the rollout. That level of visual investment signals a focused and strategic release plan rather than a surprise drop. Although the album’s official name, tracklist and featured artists remain under wraps, the confirmed date gives fans a clear target after years of speculation. For followers of independent hip hop, this release stands out as one of the most anticipated rap projects of the year.

The album has been quietly building momentum for several years, with Larry June previously speaking about the collaboration in 2022 during an appearance on The Rap Radar Podcast. At the time, he explained that aligning schedules and shooting visuals were key steps before the project could move forward. He described his relationship with Curren$y as rooted in mutual respect and creative trust, highlighting how direct advice from Spitta helped shape his artistic direction. Larry June shared that Curren$y encouraged him to lean into a smoother sound, a move that ultimately sharpened his brand and expanded his audience. That guidance came at a time when Larry June questioned his path in music, and the reassurance helped him stay consistent and focused.

Musically, the trio have already proven their chemistry on tracks like Endurance Runners and Barragán Lighting. Those records showcased laid back flows layered over The Alchemist’s textured production, a formula that blends luxury rap themes with polished, sample driven beats. The Alchemist has also built strong individual catalogs with both artists, releasing multiple collaborative projects that performed well with core hip hop audiences. His ability to craft cohesive soundscapes gives this upcoming album a strong foundation. When you combine Curren$y’s effortless delivery, Larry June’s motivational bars and The Alchemist’s refined production style, you get a project positioned to dominate playlists focused on premium rap.

For a period, fans questioned whether a full length project would materialize due to tension tied to the fallout from the 2018 Fetti EP, which also featured Freddie Gibbs. After that release, public criticism from Gibbs aimed at Curren$y created friction and fractured relationships within that circle. Gibbs openly stated that he would not work with Curren$y again, citing business disagreements and unmet expectations around promotion and communication. That conflict later intersected with The Alchemist’s continued work with Gibbs, including the Alfredo albums, which added another layer of complexity. Industry observers viewed the situation as a potential obstacle to future collaborations between Curren$y and The Alchemist.

Curren$y later addressed the situation in an interview with XXL, making it clear that while he had reservations, he would not allow past issues to derail strong music. He acknowledged that The Alchemist remained neutral and focused on production, but also admitted that trust dynamics had shifted. Despite those tensions, he emphasized that the music created with Larry June deserved to reach listeners. That mindset appears to have paved the way for the February 20 release. If the rollout matches the quality of their previous collaborations, this album could strengthen all three artists’ positions in independent hip hop and reaffirm the power of consistent, artist driven releases.
