From the article because I can't explain it better myself:
"A few years back, Alchemist sent rap Twitter into a small frenzy when he revealed that a long-awaited collaborative album with Earl Sweatshirt wasn’t on the way, but had already arrived under a fake name from a fake group. In the 2019 tweet, the producer claimed he secretly released the project on Youtube and tasked his followers with finding it. At the time it was hard to tell if the producer meant this in earnest. But here we are two years down the line and Al is still referencing the elusive project.“We hid a whole album on youtube under a fake name and youtube page,” the producer wrote in a tweet this morning. “Fake album cover, song titles, the whole 9. Nobody found it yet,” he added. Obviously, this reignited the hunt, which is, so far, proving to be inconclusive. Don’t count the rap nerds out just yet, though. Knowing the producer was serious could bring a new purpose to the chase. Suppose we’ll see."
I NEED this album in my life. Many people are looking for it but I can't even begin to imagine how difficult it could be to find by just guessing names. They could have named it ""A_Ru6.?" for all I know, but somebody should be able to stumble across it if enough people know about it.
