From their forthcoming project "The Greatness," Larry June and The Alchemist enlist Big Sean for their latest single, "Palisades, CA."

Larry June and The Alchemist are coming through with an early contender for Album Of The Year, and they’ve enlisted Big Sean for their latest single. With The Greatness due out on Friday, June and Alc’ came through with their breezy new track, “Palisades, CA.” The Alchemist’s ethereal production leads the way, filled with an eerie vocal sample and enchanting strings before June comes through with eloquent lifestyle bars. 

June’s motivational bars pair perfectly with The Alchemist’s production. However, it’s Big Sean that drives the point home. The Detroit spitter brings a velvety, lax flow before jumping into a double-time delivery where he comes through with a mind-blowing verse. As June closes out his verse describing the importance of betting on oneself, Sean Don details reaping the benefits of his labor. More noticeably, Sean indicates on his verse that he'll be "dropping soon." This marks Big Sean’s first time touching a beat from The Alchemist, so hopefully, this could open the doors for further collaborations between the two on the Detroit rapper's next project.

Larry June & Big Sean Lock In Over The Alchemist’s Production

It sounds like Larry June and The Alchemist have cooked up a special project from their recent offerings. Earlier this month, they announced the project with the release of “89 Earthquake,” bringing together Alchemist’s unique ear for production with June’s laidback California vibes. Then, they slid through with “60 Days,” which found The Alchemist making a return to the booth to trade bars with June.

At this point, neither Alchemist nor Larry June has unveiled the official tracklist for the project but we could only imagine that it’ll be filled with some heavy hitters. Between Alchemist’s expansive network of rappers he’s worked with in recent times, and June’s prolific output over the years that found him working alongside everyone from Curren$y to Money Man, we expect that they’ll have a stacked tracklist on The Greatness, which arrives on  March 31st.

Quotable Lyrics
Some people can't piece life together, it's really puzzlin'
Talkin' 'bout "Trust me, I got you", but I'm not trustin' it
Commercial real-estate by The Fox, yeah, they constructin'' it
Business flowin' like the symphony orchestra, I'm conductin' it
