To hold over fans in the meantime Cypress Hill will be dropping their long awaited album <strong><em>Elephants on Acid<\/em><\/strong> soon led by the recently released single \u201cBand of Gypsies\u201d.

At the time Alchemist was part of a duo hip hop group called The Whooliganz. Back then Alchemist went by Mudfoot and was accompanied by Scott Caan, son of James Caan who went by Mad Skillz. B-Real brought them into the Soul Assassins group, essentially an extended family of Cypress Hill. The Whooliganz would be an opening act on Cypress Hill\u2019s tour in support of their most successful album to date <strong><em>Black Sunday<\/em><\/strong>. The Whooliganz would ultimately land a record deal with Tommy Boy Records. A single called \u201cPut Your Handz Up\u201d produced by DJ Lethal from the House of Pain would be released.\u00a0 However the album, <strong><em>Make Way for the W<\/em><\/strong> tied the single would get shelved.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>The Whooliganz \u2013 Put Your Handz Up (prod. by DJ Lethal)<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><iframe width=\"1080\" height=\"608\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/bDzNupI4SwA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; encrypted-media\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>As a result the group broke up with Scott Caan following in his father\u2019s footsteps becoming an actor and Daniel Maman staying in the music industry but shifting focus as a producer and eventually becoming The Alchemist. He was mentored initially by DJ Muggs of Cypress Hill and then later on with Havoc and Prodigy of Mobb Deep. A remix of Cypress Hill\u2019s \u201c(Rap) Superstar\u201d would be the first track he produced associated with B-Real. The track would appear on Cypress Hill\u2019s 2002 EP titled <strong><em>Stash<\/em><\/strong>. Alchemist and B-Real would link up again on the song \u201cBang Out\u201d from Alchemist\u2019s 2004 debut album <strong><em>1<sup>st<\/sup> Infantry<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Cypress Hill \u2013 (Rap) Superstar (remix) (prod. by The Alchemist)<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><iframe width=\"1080\" height=\"608\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/walU5j_QoBc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; encrypted-media\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>B-Real \u2013 Bang Out (prod. by The Alchemist)<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><iframe width=\"1080\" height=\"810\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/qIM5mrVMLUI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; encrypted-media\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Then Alchemist produced \u201cBody Somethin\u201d from B-Real\u2019s 2006 mixtape <strong><em>The Gunslinger Part II: Fistfull of Dollars<\/em><\/strong>.
