Published on Wed, Jul 24th 2024 Music Rectangular HD

There were some disgusting beats during the rap battle of the decade & the Alchemist might of had one of the best ones. The track for Kendrick Lamar's "meet the grahams" was diabolical! This was total elite MPC skills and I want to share the process piece by piece!
