The Alchemist has been one of the most successful producers of hip-hop music in recent years. However, fans of hard-hitting hip-hop are amazed when they find out that one of the top producers of this genre of music is a Caucasian Jew from the affluent suburb of Beverly Hills, California. Al's family was fairly well-off but was considered poor compared to the billionaire families in the neighborhood. Al wanted no part of the snobby rich-kid scene and threw himself into his schoolwork, in which he excelled. He preferred to be around people who were down-to-earth and creative. Al began to identify strongly with the rebellious lyrics and urban sounds of hip-hop, and he began writing his own lyrics as a creative outlet. As a teen, he hooked up with other like-minded kids who wrote lyrics and rebelled strongly against their uptight suburban surroundings, among whom were 'Seth 'Shifty Shellshock' Binzer' returned with his long-awaited debut album, "1st Infantry".
Formed a rap duo with Scott Caan called "The Whooliganz" as a teenager. They had one single in 1993 called "Put Your Handz Up". His rap alias was "Mudfoot".
