Erykah Badu & Alchemist Drop Joint Album Aug 28

Erykah Badu and the Alchemist are finally releasing their debut collaborative album on August 28. The album, which was recorded over 18 months in Dallas and Los Angeles, will feature 17 tracks and will be released on Control Freaq/Young.

The new single 'Witch Doctor' is available now, giving fans a taste of what to expect from the album. The song is a hypnotic zone-out that showcases Badu's soulful vocals and the Alchemist's production skills.

Erykah Badu and the Alchemist co-produced the LP, which moves between soul, blues, funk, rock, jazz, and underground hip-hop. The album is the result of a collaboration that began over three years ago, when Badu expressed her desire to rap over the Alchemist's beat for Mobb Deep's 'The Realest'.

The duo will tour North America together next month, along with De La Soul. The tour will promote the new album and give fans a chance to see Badu and the Alchemist perform their new music live.

## What to Expect The album's sound is a unique blend of different genres, reflecting the eclectic styles of both Badu and the Alchemist. With 'Witch Doctor' already available, fans can expect a high-quality album that showcases the best of both artists.

## Why it Matters The collaboration between Erykah Badu and the Alchemist is a significant event in the music world. Badu, one of the most respected and innovative artists of her generation, has not released a proper album since 2010. The Alchemist, a prolific and acclaimed producer, has worked with a wide range of artists, from Mobb Deep to Kendrick Lamar. The combination of their talents promises to result in something special, and fans are eagerly anticipating the release of the album.

The tour with De La Soul will also be a major event, bringing together three highly respected and influential acts in the music world. With the album's release and the tour, Erykah Badu and the Alchemist are set to make a major impact on the music scene in the coming months.
