Roc Marciano and The Alchemist’s ‘The Skeleton Key’ album drops Friday
While you’ll have to wait a few days, the project seems well worth it. Signature Al production with razor sharp Marciano lyrics, too? Too epic.
Two masters of hip-hop artistry, Roc Marciano and The Alchemist, are set to unveil their monumental new album, The Skeleton Key, on 12.13.24. The Skeleton Key is an intimate affair, as it has no guest features and all Alchemist production. Following the success of their critically acclaimed 2022 collaboration, The Elephant Man’s Bones, the latest entry is poised to further solidify their status as undisputed trailblazers and tastemakers.
Roc and Alchemist have now unveiled the first single, “Chopstick,” and video from The Skeleton Key. “Chopstick” is now available at all DSP’s and you can watch the Evidence directed video for “Chopstick” below.
With over 15 years of friendship and collaboration, Roc Marciano and The Alchemist have honed a partnership that transcends the ordinary. Their creative synergy has produced timeless compositions that not only redefine the genre but has also inspired the generation of artists that have followed. Speaking on their partnership, Roc Marciano declares: “Me & Alchemist, we the gatekeepers, Key Makers, your shit don’t shake unless we sanction it.”
Both Roc Marciano and The Alchemist boast illustrious discographies that have shaped how hip-hop has sounded over the last decade. Roc, a pioneer of the modern underground sound, has shaped a unique style that blends razor-sharp lyricism with soulful minimalism, laying the foundation for countless artists to follow. Meanwhile, The Alchemist’s production is the definition of legendary, and his roll call of collaborations with icons continues to expand every year.
The Skeleton Key merges all of their individual qualities, offering the culture a collection of tracks that blend innovation with authenticity, and also highlights their shared philosophy of creating art that stands the test of time; while cementing their legacy as leaders and trendsetters in the field of communication through music. Above all else, Roc x ALC created The Skeleton Key as a thank-you to their fans and came from a place of gratitude for their continued support. It took ten years for The Elephant Man’s Bones to come to fruition; Roc x Alc didn’t want their respective fan bases to wait that long for a new entry. Fan-dedicated, The Skelton Key is two masters at the height of their powers collaborating on a timeless piece of art.
Starting today at 11 am EST, there will be an exclusive edition of The Skeleton Key available at ROCMARCI.com, the download includes two bonus tracks “Hard Drugz,,” and “Bleu Mouson” which are only available through the exclusive edition, and will not be available on streaming platforms. The exclusive digital download offer will expire on 12.12.24.
Roc Marciano & The Alchemist’s The Skeleton Key will be released on 12.13.24.

Action Bronson and Meyhem Lauren's Turbo tour can't happen soon enough
Just keeping it 100? There’s no better rapper in the world than Action Bronson. Yes - a bit of bias here but when you have rocked with Bronsolini since the early 2010’s and kept tabs on his level ups, it’s only right to know his growth as a musician and brand is only getting bigger. Now with a Turbo tour set to launch in the coming days, what better way to head into the fall?

Now with a Turbo tour set to launch in the coming days, what better way to head into the fall?
Action Bronson’s Turbo tour is speeding into the fall
It’s bigger than the Queens native. Action is slated to take over cities across the country alongside his longtime friends and collaborators Meyhem Lauren and Roc Marciano.
“IM COMING TO SING FOR YOU, MY BROTHER @meyhemlauren IS COMING TO SING FOR YOU AND IN TEMPE MY BROTHER @rocmarci WILL SING FOR YOU. DON’T MISS THESE JOYOUS EVENTS. Tix link in bio.”

There’s something special about New York anthems. Flee Lord x Mephux’s new ‘Final Four’ anthem is pure audio flames using some mighty vocal support courtesy of Conway The Machine, Roc Marciano and Southern lyrical monster Trae The Truth.
The new ‘Final Four’ anthem hits hard
While the anticipation builds for a new Pray For The Evil III studio effort, Flee Lord x Mephux deliver with their newest audio gem. It’s packed with hard-hitting wordplay and signature production.
Flee Lord x Mephux’s Pray For The Evil III will be released on 5-6-22 and features collaborations with Fat Joe, Conway The Machine, Roc Marciano, Cormega, Trae Tha Truth & UFO Fev. Pray For The Evil III is entirely produced by Mephux. Today, they unleash “Final Four” which features Conway The Machine, Roc Marciano & Trae Tha Truth. “Final Four” was exclusively produced by Complex.
Flee knows this is a certified anthem
Instead of geeking out over social media, Flee’s already issued a statement on the new tunes. Specifically, Lord talked about piecing together the hip-hop heavyweights to the must-hear record.
“Me and Mephux were building on ideas for PFTE3 and Meph played me the “Final Four” beat and I knew immediately that Conway and Roc would sound so dope on it. They always show me love and jumped on the track” Flee Lord commented to Complex. “After we finished recording the project and we were putting the finishing touches on it, Trae happened to be in town and he pulled up to our session and kicked it. We played Trae the track (still untitled at that time) and he asked if it was done? Me and Meph were like it’s not done if you’re jumping on it and Trae went in and drummed that shit down. Salute to DJ Premier and Havoc! Once Trae was on it, the title of the song was clear---“Final Four.”
Here’s the full tracklisting
While fans await for May 6th, the studio effort’s full tracklisting is now available. The project also features lyrical wordplay courtesy of New York rap veterans Cormega and Fat Joe.
