"He’s been here watching the whole evolution of this shit and still in the game. Al was somebody I looked up to musically, too. He’s done so much in hip-hop for him to be able to be relevant and jump on a new artist like myself and rap, make all the beats, and still got a crazy legacy." - Larry June praises The Alchemist.

"It’s fun to work with Larry. He’s really a scientist. He records his own s--t. I trust his opinion on music, too. I don’t look at him as just a rapper. He’s musical and records his own s--t. That’s what I mean by easy."
