Hopefully, The Alchemist and Larry June are dropping their album soon, because their latest single “60 Days” is so promising. Moreover, the track features both California rap artists in their best elements. On one hand, June comes through with steady and effortless verses, whereas Al- wait, did he just start rapping? Not only does The Alchemist produce here, but he gifts fans a nice 8-bar verse with some engaging rhymes and wordplay. Of course, Al got his start as an MC and that, paired with his decades of experiences, might be lost on newer listeners. Overall, if you had a doubt about either of these artists, “60 Days” indicates that a project could just bring out the best in each other.
First, the instrumental here is classic Alchemist production. For example, the bright and otherworldly string samples and very light beat contrast with deep bass. As perfectly evidenced on albums of his like Sandwich, he’s a master at making a grimy beat feel wondrous, and a dreamy instrumental feel grounded. It also pairs well with June’s more understated delivery here, even as he details his lavish lifestyle. Most importantly, maybe these contrasts are indicative of the tracks themes. A lot can happen in 60 days, and there’s always the conflict between where you are and what it took to get you there.
Still, what did you think of this newest track from Larry June and The Alchemist, the lush “60 Days”? Moreover, are you looking forward to a new album from the two?

[Intro: Larry June]
Uh, hey
Al, what up?
Hey, hey, hey, hey
[Verse 1: Larry June]
I’m still standing on my word, I’ve been grand scheming (Scheme)
Took a trip to the Chi’ after I left Cleveland
First game, touchdown, played for four seasons
She made a thousand first night, I told her she can keep it (Keep up)
Two days in Napa Valley, I’m eating Saganaki (Damn)
I’m riding dirty through the traffic, took the matte Ducati
I get impulsive, if I want it, then I go and cop it (Aye)
Did a two mill play and fled to a island (Uh, 60 days)
[Chorus: Larry June & The Alchemist]
Ay ay ay ay
Aye aye, 60 days (60 days)
Yeah, ay, ay, aye yeah (A whole lot can change, my nigga, 60 days)
60 days, 60 days, ay, ay, aye, aye (Uh)
60 days, 60 days, oh no, oh no, yeah (Uh)
[Verse 2: The Alchemist & Larry June]
My leathеr coat was draggin’ in the dirt (Draggin’)
I got buff from baggaging the work (Got muscles now)
I’m at thе table, I’m having a dessert (You see me)
Three piece suit with the napkin in the shirt (Uh)
I’m a big bowl of macaroni (Me)
Know how to spot and catch a phony
And do the Plaxico to myself before the matrimony (Shoot myself)
Stick shift Aston, I’m diggin’ in my trick basket (Yeah)
Fixin’ plays, cut up the pot and split the change (60 days)
A lot of shit could happen in 60 days
[Chorus: Larry June]
Aye aye, 60 days (60 days)
Yeah, ay, ay, ay yeah (A whole lot can change, my nigga, 60 days)
60 days, 60 days, ay ay ay ay (Uh)
60 days, 60 days, oh no, oh no, yeah
[Verse 3: Larry June]
I drove the Porsche for no reason, I know it’s rainy out
She fell in love real quick but we just hangin’ out
I got all kind of shit, I rarely bring ’em out
He never did it like this, I took a different route (Ay ay ay ay)
I paint a picture like Martin Johnson (Martin Johnson)
Towels by my sink Turkish cotton, it’s different, you wouldn’t spot it (Uh)
I made it through when it got grimey (Grimey)
And found better ways to monetize it, what’s happening? (60 days)
[Chorus: Larry June]
Ay ay ay ay, aye, aye 60 days (60 days)
Yeah, ay, ay, aye yeah (A whole lot can change, my nigga, 60 days)
60 days, 60 days, ay ay aye aye (Uh)
60 days, 60 days, oh no, oh no, yeah
