Hit-Boy and The Alchemist have just dropped their latest joint album, GOLDFISH, which is quickly emerging as one of 2025’s most captivating team-ups between beatmakers stepping into the rapper’s spotlight. Across these 15 cuts, the duo shatters expectations tied to their iconic production legacies, each grabbing the mic to exchange verses atop their own dreamy, soul-infused beats that evoke a midnight cruise down lanes of hazy nostalgia. At its core, the theme captures that endless goldfish loop—swimming in circles within a confined space—as a metaphor for rebirth (a big deal for Hit-Boy, marking his debut full project after walking away from an 18-year publishing contract). Cameos from rap titans including Conway, Havoc, Boldy James, Jonathan Hulett, Jay Worthy, and even Big Hit (Hit-Boy’s father) inject a raw intensity, fusing the rugged bite of East Coast lyricism with the sleek sheen of West Coast vibes.

I launched my Blog site in 2010, inspired by platforms like Complex Networks, Nigel D's RealTalkNY, NahRight, MissInfo.tv, Elliott Wilson, and Brian "B.Dot" Miller. (Rap Radar) It started as a passion project -sharing hip-hop videos, music, interviews, and more, just for the love of the culture. Fast forward to today, I'm still at it, driven by the thrill of discovering fresh, unique hip-hop and cultural moments to share with others. My goal? To help people uncover some real dope content. - Yaosoner View all posts by YaosoneR
