First Badu project in 11 years, and sounding hot from what we’ve heard so far!

Before the World Blows: The Abi and Alan Experiment (Abi is Badu. Alan is The Alchemist). Recorded over 18 months in Dallas and Los Angeles, the album is the collision of two iconoclasts—hypnotic, funny, blunt and deeply personal.

The Abi and Alan Experiment began more than three years ago after Badu told her longtime creative partner Cold Cris that she had always wanted to rap over Mobb Deep’s “The Realest,” a gritty, pounding Alchemist production. “I also program as well, but not like Al,” she says. “His collection of music is impeccable. His taste is brilliant. His choices are kindred to what I love. He’s very soulful".

Alchemist sent Badu a collection of instrumental beats, which she deconstructed and sculpted into tracks that felt uniquely hers, looping his warm, punchy samples with instruments from soft kalimba notes to immersive chords and drums.

One more hit of that blunt. Before the world blows, it’s worth it to get to know thyself.
