Alchemist Says The Westcoast Is On Top Right Now

In a recent interview VLAD TV, veteran hip hop producer, Alchemist said the westcoast is on top right now in hip hop. Well, I do think there are a lot of rappers from the west doing their thing right now, but it is not like they have a uniform sound or anything. I think that is a good thing tho...they departed from the whole gansta music that was reminiscent of the old west.

“West Coast is—I’d say they’re on top right now. I would go out and say that,” Alchemist said. “On all aspects. Cause there’s so many layers in L.A. You got your TDE crew. You got your Odd Future crew. You got Problem. You got Kid Ink. You got Kendrick. You got Dilated. You have Planet Asia. There’s like so many levels. Blu. I mean, we can go on talking forever, but what my point is I think the West is crushing shit right now. And a person like Kendrick—the whole TDE thing is like it’s putting L.A. back in that place where when we were young growing up. It was like a whole melting pot of different talent on different levels.”
