The Alchemist & Oh No Present

Great songs, I love the colour of the LPs (one is green and the other is pink)!

Fantastic collection of artists on this soundtrack.

J'ai acheté l'album "Oh No! Present Welcome To Los Santos" de l'Alchemist et j'en suis très satisfait. La qualité audio est excellente et les morceaux sont très variés. Les beats sont très bien faits et les collaborations sont très intéressantes. Les paroles sont très intelligemment écrites et le flow est excellent. Les instrumentations sont très riches et variées. C'est un album incroyable que je recommande vivement à tous les fans de hip-hop et de GTA !

Guter mix aus diversen verschiedenen Genres. Da sollte für jeden was dabei sein.Achtung: Digipak! (Papiercover)

Welcome to Los Santos is an extension of the Grand Theft Auto V soundtrack, which was originally released in late 2013. The PC version of the game, which was released in early 2015 debuted with a brand new radio station entitled "The Lab" that included 14 brand new recordings (which was later patched into the other platforms via an update). This album is the official soundtrack release of these new songs, and it's really well produced and diverse! The album definitely leans more towards Rap, but it includes other genres as well such as Pop, Indie, Horror Core, Alternative Rock, and Electronic. There's something in here for everybody, regardless of what genre you tend to prefer. But if you're somebody like me who listens to a wide variety of different genres, you're in for a very special treat. The songs that appear on the album are a compilation by multiple artists with plenty of special guest features. The entire work was produced by both "The Alchemist" and "Oh No", 2 of the artists who worked on the Grand Theft Auto V original score back in 2013. This is especially apparent as some of the game's music is used as beats for a couple of the songs, or referenced in others. One such song is the album's title track, "Welcome to Los Santos". This take's the Oh No instrumental track of the same name from the original score, remixed and re-sampled with original lyrics by MC Eiht and Freddie Gibbs, with a guest appearance by Kokane. The song embodies the California mythos, the state where the fictional city of Los Santos is based. It suits the mood and view of reality, as well as the in-game events which is pretty neat. My personal favorite track on the album though is definitely "Lock & Load" by MNDR, with a special guest appearance by one of my favorite rappers, Killer Mike. Again, Grand Theft Auto V soundtrack material is used as the beat while original lyrics are laid down on top, and it works so well! You have the soothing, yet desperate vocals spoken by MNDR, followed up by the absolute firestorm of Killer Mike in the 2nd verse! It's also a shining example of how to use repetition the right way. That is hammering the song further along like a locomotive instead of draining the life and soul out of the track itself like a disposable battery.

Spiele diese Platte über mehrere Tage immer und immer wieder rauf und runter - und nutzt sich trotzdem nie ab!!! - Meiner Meinung nach eines der Besten Sampler die es so gibt. Ich weis nicht wieviel THE ALCHEMIST an dem Album verantwortlich ist - aber wer seine Zusammenarbeit mit u.a. Action Bronson kennt, weiß das er verdammt gute Arbeit leistet!! Dieses Album ist nicht nur für Fans die GTA5 oder HipHop abfeiern (obwohl viele wahrscheinlich erst als GTA5-Fan ein starkes Fabel dafür entwickeln) - nein, es ist auch für Leute die richtig gute Musik zu schätzen wissen. - Denn auch wenn viele Hip-Hop-Einflüsse auf dem Album sind - gibt es auch viele Stücke die mit der Hip-Hop-Kultur nicht so viel zu tun haben, - welche aber in musikalischer Hinsicht (Rock, Funk...) einfach extrem gute Lieder sind.
