Paris x La x Bruxelles Instrumentals by The Alchemist The Alchemist - “Paris x La x Bruxelles Instrumentals” (Hip-hop Instrumental Album) Last year former rapper-turned producer Daniel Alan Maman (a.k.a. The Alchemist) linked up with energy drink brand Redbull France. Red Bull Records brought him out to Paris for a week, paid for his records, and let me craft new tracks in their standard recording studio. Eventually he ended up moving the studio equipment to his hotel room due to France’s smoking ban. The Alchemist’s initial idea was to sample music produced by French composers so Red Bull Records introduced him to a group of new young artists from France and Brussels and together they recorded several new songs which later became a full-length album. “Paris x La x Bruxelles Instrumentals” is the instrumental version of the project.

Artist: Configa Featuring: Genesis Elijah, Silas Zephania and HaStyle Song: “Mind Control (UK Remix)” Producer: Configa Recording Engineer: Earl Blaize Mixing and Mastering Engineer: Earl Blaize Disc: Configaration, Volume 1 Label: SLAMjamz Records Directors: Nick Light and Escape Route Media Editor: Nick Light New life is breathed in to the classic track from "Hastility" with UK MC's Genesis Elijah and Silas Zephania lending their vocals to increase the heat and extend the consciousness. The spirit of Malcolm X is harnessed sonically and visually in a timely reminder of black consciousness under the current and ongoing system of racial oppression. The song also stresses how easily minds are brain washed in today's society and how a select few are rising up and staying WOKE against the "espionage, counterfeit Governments, corrupt cops, scientific experiments with the public" - Mind Control.
