Posted by South Side Chicago’s own abeatchemist has always let his creativity speak through rhythm and rhyme. After the August release of “Space Is Deep,” the multi-talented producer and rapper returns with something personal, reflective, and raw: a two-part release titled “Open Vaults I & II.”
The idea was sparked after abeatchemist stumbled upon an interview with DJ Jazzy Jeff, where the legendary producer stressed the importance of artists releasing their work and “dying empty.” The message struck a chord. For abeatchemist, who’d been sitting on a treasure trove of unreleased music, it was the reminder he needed that art is meant to be shared, not hoarded.
The result is a heartfelt offering to the culture. “Open Vaults I” delivers 14 tracks written and produced entirely by abeatchemist, capturing his signature blend of soulful boom bap and introspective storytelling. “Open Vaults II,” on the other hand, is a beat tape filled with unearthed crate gems and a handful of newly crafted bangers, showcasing the producer’s ear for rhythm and texture.
For abeatchemist, hip-hop has always been more than music; it’s been salvation. These projects serve as both a thank-you letter to the culture and a reminder to fellow creatives: release your art, share your story, and leave nothing behind. “Open Vaults I & II” are now available on all digital streaming platforms.
