Westside Gunn and Conway Record An Album With Alchemist in a Day and a Half

Westside Gunn and Conway crafted an entire album with The Alchemist in less than two days. Westside Gunn revealed this fact during an appearance on B-Real’s web series The Smokebox.

“We just left his house right now to come here,” he told B-Real around the 1:20 mark of the above video. “We just did a whole album in a day and a half. Just wrote the whole shit, eleven songs, in a day and a half. Man, the shit is phenomenal. I can’t until till that shit drop.”

B-Real then asked Westside Gunn how he and Conway linked up with The Alchemist. The Buffalo rapper said they connected via Twitter, but also shared many mutual friends.

“One day he just tweeted like, ‘Yo, Westside Gunn’s shit crazy,’ and I’m like, ‘Oh shit, this is fucking Alchemist,'” Westside Gunn said. “He got put on. Once we started building with him, he got put on by, I think it was Planet Asia. We been cool ever since. We fuck with Action [Bronson] heavy and ALC fuck with Action heavy, so everybody he fuck with, I fuck with. Everybody he fucking with, we fucking with, so it was bound to happen anyway.”
