Notes: Previewed heavily on the producer's 2008 EP, THE COOKBOOK, Alchemist's often-delayed album, CHEMICAL WARFARE, matches his 2004 release, 1ST INFANTRY, when it comes to both quality control and riveting beats. With guest singer Maxwell in full neo-soul mode, "Smile" is the sunshine bright high point of the crossover tracks, with the club-aimed Three 6 Mafia and Juvenile feature "That'll Work" running a close second. On the flipside there's the underground sound of Gangrene -- Alchemist's project with Oh No -- along with the hypnotic backpacker cut "Therapy," which returns from THE COOKBOOK EP, but improved with an added verse from Talib Kweli. While not every returning Dilated Peoples or Mobb Deep fan will be able to hang with his more mature side, CHEMICAL WARFARE keeps this capo's reputation in tact. Recommended for aspiring dons and more open-minded thugs.

Pitchfork (Website) - "[I]t's exceptionally well-crafted....What makes this record work is Alchemist's balanced blend of creativity, craft, and atmosphere..." XXL (Magazine Publisher) (p.92) - "Juve steals the show with a fast-paced flow, while Juicy J chooses his usual stop-and-go rhyme pattern on the standout track."
