With two new bonus tracks on "The ALC Edition," now's the perfect time to hear this engaging piece if you haven't already.

Last year, Roc Marciano and The Alchemist collaborated for one of 2022's best rap albums: The Elephant Man's Bones. For the lyrically-minded and for fans of abstract production, this project filled pretty much every niche and desire. In addition, the duo bolstered it with excellent features from Boldy James, Action Bronson, Ice-T, and Knowledge The Pirate. However, they weren't quite done with it just yet, and they realized that there's more to share from his fitting, chemistry-filled, and creative team-up. With two new bonus tracks, the underground legends graced us with The ALC Edition of this album, fitting for a 2023 revamp.

Furthermore, now's the perfect time to tune into Roc Marciano's latest if you missed it last year. These new bonus tracks represent everything that made The Elephant Man's Bones such a compelling LP, and The Alchemist doesn't slouch in the slightest. "DNA" opens with a menacing bassline and string arrangement, providing fertile ground for the New York MC to stomp on with vivid and twisted hunger. Conversely, the dreamy synth pads and chill, perky rhythms on "Turkey Wings" offer Marciano's verses a more nostalgic and laidback context.
