The Food Villain
The Alchemist
2020
The Food Villain is a concept album built around a friendly accusation from a frequent collaborator, the rapper and gourmet Action Bronson: that the Alchemist has terrible taste in food. The producer runs with the bit. His tightly stitched sample work—which cuts together sinister soul sounds and goofy spoken-word snippets—has rarely been more effective than it is here, as a caricature.
