Album Stream: Erykah Badu & The Alchemist – Before The World Blows

August 28, 2026

Erykah Badu and The Alchemist join forces on for their new project Before The World Blows, a collaborative album spanning soul, jazz, and hip-hop with guests including Earl Sweatshirt, Westside Gunn, Thundercat, Kamasi Washington & more. Sixteen years after Erykah Badu’s last studio album, Before The World Blows avoids the obvious comeback move. Instead of trying to recreate an earlier Badu era, her first full-length project since 2015’s But You Caint Use My Phone puts her inside The Alchemist’s world and then lets her pull that world apart.
