Eminem has a new DJ and Green Lanterns replacement is a familiar face to Hip-Hop.
The Alchemist, normally affiliated with Mobb Deep, has accepted a position with Em as his new in-house spin doctor.
Al told AllhipHop.com, Basically, we are under the same management. My brother Neal [Maman] and Paul [Paul Rosenburg, Shady Records/Goliath Artists executive] stepped up and they came up with the idea. They approached him and then they approached me and asked me if I was with it. And I said, Yeah.
DJ Green Lantern, Eminems former DJ, voluntarily left Shady Records after a conversation with 50 Cent adversary Jadakiss was unknowingly taped in a conversation about the pairs beef.
Alchemist didnt even have to audition for the lyrical Detroit piston and Alchemist stated that hes been on the 1s and 2s with Mobb Deep. For the last four years now, Ive been doing the Mobb Deep tours, he explained. Ive been holding it down. And before that I came up with Muggs and Cypress [Hill]. I have a good background in rocking the show.
The DJ, who released 1st Infantry (Koch) last year, certainly sees advantage in being party to heavy-hitters like Eminem, G-Unit and others, but he said he was keeping it all in perspective.
Right now, I am just dealing with the situation of being Eminems DJ and, of course I am always going to be doing beats. Im not just going to be a DJ, he said. I would love to [do beats for Eminem], that would be great. I definitely look forward to that. His s### is incredible. Im sure we have a mutual respect as far as music [is concerned]. If the opportunity ever arises, Im sure we would make some incredible music. But, right now the issue at hand is to handle the tour and be Ems DJ.
This is like a blessing and I am taking it as it comes, he concluded. As creative people, we are always moved by other creative people.
The Anger Management Tour starts in July 2005.
Winding up, he said that hes still working with Mobb Deep on new music. I dont want to plug anything yet but, weve been leaking songs out a little but. Being that they are between deals right now, were keeping the music coming. Were leaking joints for the fans to let them know, we got this.
