The Alchemist x Oh No x Gangrene "Better Than McDonald's" [ALBUM]

Gangrene is the joint project of The Alchemist and Oh No — two producers who also perform as emcees, whose combined sound has stood for a particularly grimy, psychedelically warped strain of underground hip-hop since their 2010 debut Vodka & Ayahuasca. Better Than McDonald's arrives as part of a densely packed release day on July 17, 2026 — alongside Rome Streetz' Sock It 2 My Pocket, making the day a significant moment for the independent East/West Coast underground. The title is classic Gangrene: deliberately irreverent, with a touch of self-deprecating humor suggesting that even the most banal comparison — fast food — beats whatever the competition is offering. Eleven tracks, distributed via Empire. As a duo, Alchemist and Oh No bring a rare double role: both produce, both rap, and the result sounds correspondingly balanced between two equal creative poles rather than an emcee riding someone else's beat.
