Roc Marciano & The Alchemist Release New Album ‘The Skeleton Key’

Roc Marciano and The Alchemist have both had a busy and accomplished 2024. Marci released Marciology in March and also appeared on projects from Mach Hommy, DJ Muggs, T.F., and Brother Ali. Alchemist won a BET Award for Best Producer, released a solo project, The Genuine Articulate, collaborated with Hit-Boy & Big Hit for Black & Whites, produced Kendrick Lamar’s surgical “Meet The Grahams,” and contributed production to projects from A$AP Rocky, J. Cole, Schoolboy Q, Big Sean, Action Bronson, Conway The Machine, Benny The Butcher & Boldy James.

But it’s only right that these two masters of hip-hop artistry reconvene to close out the year on a high note with their monumental new project The Skeleton Key; which is now available.

Following the release of the project’s first single and video, “Chopstick”, which Stereogum described as “vintage Roc Marciano, with tons of terse and obliquely written punchlines delivered nonchalantly” and Fader depicted as “a haunting loop seemingly pulled from a Giallo movie, and Marciano offering vivid Mafioso bars with a trademark sneer” and Billboard labeled as “Roc playing the reliable narrator of his own exploits.”
