On paper, Freddie Gibbs, a straight-shooting street rapper, and Madlib, an eccentric tinkerer, are as mouth-watering a combo as licorice and pickle juice. But their collaborative 2014 album Piñata succeeded because the two are equally uncompromising: Madlib tailors beats to his eclectic ears alone, while Gibbs insists that he can rap over anything.

Under the guidance of DJ Muggs (Cypress Hill), The Alchemist has developed
into an acclaimed producer as he was named one of the top producers of
the year in The Source (January 2002), alongside the likes of Dr. Dre,
Timbaland and the Neptunes. He has also produced beats for Dilated Peoples, Mobb Deep, Eminem, Jadakiss, Ludacris, Snoop Dogg and many more.
