The Alchemist Reveals His Master Plan On “The Food Villain”
Forget the monologuing. Forget the mustache-twirling. The Alchemist’s villainous schemes are far more diabolical in nature. Case in point, behold his brand new album The Food Villain, which places his own vision front and center across sixteen tracks. Joined by cohorts Action Bronson and Big Body Bes, Alchemist uses the opportunity to outline his master plan, blending instrumental, rapped, spoken, and sampled elements together in a proverbial smorgasbord for the senses.
While it’s not exactly the most accessible project, consider that seldom are delicacies designed to be enjoyed by the masses. For those who understand the depths and nuances of Alchemist’s creativity, however, The Food Villian will likely hit the spot in a variety of ways. And if you’re still on the fence, even after Alc’s incredible work on Conway’s Lulu, Freddie Gibb’s Alfredo, and Boldy James’ The Price Of Tea In China, consider his recent co-sign from Eminem, who took to Twitter to praise his “cohort’s” latest effort.
Be sure to give The Food Villian some of your undivided attention, as like any good meal, it’s best enjoyed in a single serving. For those who have already spent some time with the project, share your thoughts in the comment section below. Did The Alchemist deliver?

Kyle Ashen’s sun-drenched recollection with new release “That Local Girl”
Kyle Ashen’s latest release, “That Local Girl,” is a gorgeous trip down memory lane, a country single that explores that golden glow of memory, like flipping through old photographs touched by salt air and summer sunlight. It’s warm, cinematic, and deeply relatable, a song about the kind of love story that never quite goes away, even as time moves on.
“That Local Girl” is filled with imagery that quickly takes the listener into a world they can walk right into. You got a blonde-haired, blue-eyed girl on a boardwalk street by the ocean, a souped-up truck driving through town, neon lights reflecting off the ocean breeze, and the electric innocence of young love burning in the background.
But under all that cutesy trapping is something more than that, longing. Some people, some places that leave permanent marks on Kyle Ashen and us know that. What’s so brilliant about this song is that it marries those two ideas, making love and hometown memory feel beautifully inseparable. Sometimes you miss a person. And with that person, you miss an entire version of life. “That Local Girl” is more than a country love song from Kyle Ashen. He is a living postcard from the past, sun-faded, bittersweet, and glowing with feeling. A reminder that summers pass by, but some memories stay with us forever.
