The West Coast-flavored album is streaming now.
After contributing to the score for Grand Theft Auto V, hip-hop heads The Alchemist and Oh No have re-teamed for Welcome To Los Santos, an album inspired by the video game.
The album features collaborations between Action Bronson and Danny Brown, Tunde Adebimpe and Sinkane, and Ab-Soul and Aloe Blacc; dancehall kings Vybz Kartel and Popcaan; and indie favorites Wavves and Little Dragon.
The most interesting cut, however, is E-40’s ‘California’, a West Coast rap-freakout that also features boogie boss Dam-Funk and pop weirdo Ariel Pink. Stream ‘California’ below and listen to the rest of the album over at NPR.
