Hit-Boy and The Alchemist prove they're the hardest-working rappers and producers in the game with their new joint album.
On Friday, October 24, the award-winning artists delivered their anticipated album GOLDFISH via Surf Club/ALC/EMPIRE. On their collaborative effort, Hit and Al rap on 15 tracks that they produced themselves, including lead singles "Business Merger" and "Celebration Moments" featuring Havoc of Mobb Deep. They enlisted several heavy hitters, like Conway The Machine, Boldy James, Jay Worthy, Big Hit, and Johnathan Hulett, to join them on the project. To celebrate the album's release, Hit-Boy & The Alchemist dropped the music video for track No. 6, "Ricky."
To accompany the album, Hit-Boy and The Alchemist teamed up with director Abteen Bagheri-Fard to cook up a short film. Both artists star in the film alongside other well-known acts, including Danny Trejo, Rory Culkin, Blake Anderson, Simon Rex, Slink Johnson, Lefty Gunplay and more. The scripted short flick follows a group of hit men who portray carpet cleaners by day and live a wild life full of crime by night. Hit-Boy and The Alchemist hosted several screenings of the film in New York City and Los Angeles ahead of its upcoming premiere in Las Vegas for ComplexCon.
Hit-Boy and The Alchemist's GOLDFISH album is a culmination of the duo's incredible work together over the past two years. They came out swinging with their first collaboration, "Slipping Into Darkness," in 2023, followed by collaborative projects like Black & Whites with Big Hit and their three-track EP, THEODORE & ANDRE.
