Hit Boy And The Alchemist Release “Slipping Into Darkness”

Today (March 10th), Hit-Boy and The Alchemist released an insanely creative video of their new collaboration, Slipping Into Darkness, in a hilarious pairing, in which they took turns performing each other’s instrumentals.

“F*ck all the talk / Cut the check and split / Floor sinks while I’m sipping / My Piña Colada was tropen,” Alchemist raps. “But I never get around to slipping in the dark / Never catch me slipping in the dark.”

Then the beat seamlessly transitions from a pounding loop to Alchemist giving Hit-Boy a piano instrumental. The duo is filmed from a clothing store, where they also hooked up their gear.

“I’m not for everyone, but I am who I am / I am what I am / No back and forth,” Hit-Boy begins his verse. “That’s how you smother the nonsense / I’m hungry like a hostage / They hit me with the blockade but I made it out of the gauntlet.”

After Alchemist posted the video of their performance on social media, fans immediately gushed about how much they loved it. “Alchemist on a Hit Boy Beat Hit Boy on an Alchemist Beat. let’s do it,” hit-boy captioned the post.

“That’s all, PLEASE put out an album with tracks like that. This is collaboration at its finest. The creativity here is WILD,” one person wrote.

“I’d listen back and forth to an entire project like that,” agreed another.
