Alchemist and Agallah have been sides in their career evolution. Agallah was one of the last EPMD disciples, who would later become a mainstay in D&D Studios, a member of Dipset affiliates Purple City, and now part of the New York-in-Cali conglomerate that includes Action Bronson, Roc Marciano, and the rest of The Outdoorsmen.

While ALC broke through with Mobb Deep, the Beverly Hills, California native also came up under DJ Muggs and Soul Assassins in the early ’90s. He dabbled in the underground scene alongside Dilated Peoples and Bumpy Knuckles, while also making joints for Jadakiss, Lil Wayne, and becoming Shady Records’ DJ. Today, he’s releasing albums of his own, as well as group projects with Gangrene and Step Brothers.

The two guys never stop working. So fittingly to kick off 2014, the New York-to-Cali (and back) connect released a compilation of their historical links, with some new material.
