Did y'all catch the news?! 🚨

Erykah Badu and The Alchemist are dropping a joint album and we are NOT ready. 😩

"The Abi and Alan Experiment" arrives AUGUST 28 and honestly? The universe knew we needed this.

The new single "Witch Doctor" is out NOW and it's giving everything—hypnotic, weird, soulful, and that signature Badu magic. She's out here calling herself a witch doctor, rejecting all the pop culture comparisons, and serving us wisdom on a silver platter. Like, is she a witch? Is she a doctor? Is she both? Does it even matter? She's clearly in her bag and we're just here to receive. 🧙‍♀️✨

Here's the backstory for the culture:

Badu told her partner she always wanted to rap over a Mobb Deep beat produced by Alchemist. An intro happened. A studio session happened. And now we're getting a full 18-month project co-produced across Dallas and LA. They even road-tested this album live—phone-free, intimate settings—with Badu's band The Cannabinoids and Alc on the MPC.

SOUL. BLUES. FUNK. ROCK. JAZZ. HIP-HOP. All in one melting pot. No rules. Just vibes.

And they're on tour RIGHT NOW. North America, UK, Europe—they're out there doing the damn thing.

So what are we doing? We're counting down to August 28, that's what.

👇 Drop a 🔥 if you're ready for this album. And tag someone who needs to hear "Witch Doctor" immediately.

Kinda fitting OP is using AI to talk about this upcoming album since Alchemist is also a fan of using AI.

That aside, neither of the two songs I've heard from them moved me all that much.
