The Alchemist feat. Earl Sweatshirt & Navy Blue - "Nobles" 

The flashbacks to Earl and Navy Blue as kids made me want to cry

Wholesome to see Earl smile

The way Earl and Navy trade off bars it’s like two best friends who can finish each other’s sentences seamlessly

if you come from having depression while listening to Some Rap Songs to getting good through time while listening to FEET OF CLAY to getting better and feeling that everything will keep improving for the better. Yeah this song hits you hard because you feel like you have been growing with Earl and every song that he drops will accompany you through your journey at life

These dudes grew musically physically and mentally love to see it

The transition from them as kids to the present was so cold

This song literally screams “we made it” and straight victory in a very triumphal way

Earl and Navy just need to drop an album together, the chemistry is too much

So hyped to see Earl with a little hardness In his voice.

Earl and Navy are such a strong duo. Alchemist is just the cherry on top.

Life’s sweet when you know the cost

"I want to go to Africa" so subtle yet so powerful

Earl just has that goat presence now

Music like this keeps the Villain alive. Thank you, men.

The producer responsible for the most sleepless nights and career changes in others....The Alchemist

“We the best till we good and gone” Don’t even play with me like that earl.

Getting Black Star vibes. A Navy Blue/Earl album would cleanse so many souls

Alchemist never disappoints. Never.

The Never Ending Story sample Says so much about ESS and Navy

they really the true embodiment of success tho, they never settled for the money or fame. just kept doing them yanno

The Alchemist is one of the select few who can consistently drop and all of it be fuego! GIVE THIS MAN THE RESPECT HE DESERVES

man The Mint, Ghost, now Nobles, Earl x Navy never fails frfr

Something about this song heals me.

"I do less before I stretch I hit the bar....pull up" god damn earl

That flash back to them being kids at the same corner store is just golden

Nah this back to back flow though 😫😫😫

From the bottom of my heart, how could a single soul thumbs down this masterpiece

navy blue rap like a ghost and earl raps like a spirit. if that makes sense. i love it

Been telling y’all the day earl raps with some emotion it’s over for the entire rap game

I love it when two rappers both got lyrics and go back to back like this

I shed a tear watching this shit earl smiling something different mannnnnn

They crazy. This sounds like a straight classic from a past decade to me

Watching the Alchemist over the last 20 years has been like watching a wizard perfect his craft . The best producer in the game right now

"Life's sweet when you know the cost."

I need that ending on a loop, can't explain the emotion I feel but it's wonderful

I really ask myself if Sage knows how privileged he is. Being a pro, growing up the way he did with skating, and with all that skating he got out of it well, being healthy, having creative friends like Earls and Alc, etc etc. It's insane. MashaAllah. (Which means May god bless it for him).

Oh mama 🥺

Wow, haven’t seen that clip of young Earl and Sage in quite some time

Everyone knew that whoever let the sadness overtake him, Would sink into swamp.

It’s back on Spotify🙏🏾‼️‼️

Man that edit at 1:12 really made me nostalgic. I grew up on Odd Future and remember watching their old skate videos. Crazy to see these two men evolve into the creative forces they are today

Alchemist is working overtime this year and I've loved every track

This like the prequel to the Caliphate

ITS BACK ON STREAMING SERVICES!!!! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

I wasn't even a part of the early OF days but damn, when it flashed back to him as a kid, that shit made me nostalgic for shit I shouldn't even be nostalgic over. Stoked for this new project.

Navy Blue miming Earl's verse(s) is so wholesome!

Damn he doesn’t even need to drop drums in there - this dude is inspiring, ever evolving and got to be one of the best hip hop producers out there currently. Earl and Navy float back and forth on that incredible loop.

I cant get enough of this song , every time i listen i discover peace inside me again. Al is the man 🙏🏼🙏🏼

I turned 30 today (I guess yesterday now) and felt bummed cause I was thinking my youth officially Hit the exit. My late teens to 20’s I grew up listening to OF and always got a sense of happiness from the crews creative growth. I couldn’t be more hopeful and spiritually lifted for the future hearing this right now, this track is special. Thanks Earl, Blue and everybody’s pal, Al.

I needed to hear some Earl today man

Yessir!

everyone knew that whoever let the sadness overtake him would sink

This album is about to be on repeat for a while I can already tell

1:11 damn this shot is crazy. nostalgia captured perfectly

The last 50 seconds, around 1:56 onwards, sounds so heavenly and I can’t describe it 😅

The only crime is that this song isn’t longer… this shit is straight 🔥

earl sound and look so happy man. love to see it.

Seeing earl smile give me butterflies while he’s spitting some crazy spoken word

“LIFE SWEET WHEN YOU KNOW THE CAUSE”

1:56 that beat

thousand yard stare I was lookin sauced 🔥

"I do less when I stretch 'fore I hit the bar" 🔥🔥

Back for my 50th listen

Never-ending Story sample at the beginning and half way through

im so happy this music video is beautiful, i love this so much

Navy Blue has BEEN that dude. He and Earl go way back.

we gotta get these samples cleared so i can listen to this again on streaming services, literally song of the year.

not tryna be corny but this music really touches my soullllll!!

Omgggg they go back to back, and the old clip, and earl smiling.

I've watched this so many times since the drop

This whole thing is the epitome of nostalgic.

They sound so similar & the fact they grew up together is awesome!

EARL'S SMILE IS SO GENUINE.😭🥺❤️ MAKES ME TEAR UP

real life crying to how beautiful this is

The real ones know that track was the SHIT and seems like there is a clearing sample issue and the track is not on Spotify anymore. I POUR ONE FOR THE REAL ONES Edit: IT'S BACK. SADNESS GONE

0:42 those dynamic duo metaphors tho...

This song feels like you’re having a coming of age story. Powerful shit mane.

the Sun Ra Sample made this track even more magical

This rarely happens but i like this song on the first listen. which is super rare for me.

[Intro: The Neverending Story Sample] Everyone knew that whoever let the sadness overtake him Would sink into the swamp Hi And the same time, elsewhere in fantasia A creature of darkness also began his quest [Verse 1: Navy Blue & Earl Sweatshirt] Depths of the man that I was from the start Stay next to the fam, got a place in my heart chest Breath on demand The rest of the plan got scrapped when I landed, invested in arts I do less when I stretch 'fore I hit the bar Pull up, Tan Cress' on the shoulder of the coat of arms Told you we the best 'til we good and gone Yeah, love shared it was both ours The same prayer like more dark Blood in the water when I go to wash Life sweet when you know the cost Thousand-yard stare, I was looking sauced Smoker's cough, ash in the air Not scared when we send 'em off That's life, black plight, can't get along Not alone [Interlude: Sample 1] But there might be one chant[Interlude: Sample 1] But there might be one chant [Verse 2: Earl Sweatshirt & Navy Blue, The Neverending Story Sample] Tandem remarks, who the fuck playing like the brand isn't strong In the globe cold, that the pharaoh hand sitting on My ass in the throne We running these checks and balances, on fam Check sits, dashes at home (Want to go to Africa) Hard work, callous the palm, that isn't wrong Soul battered and grown, sadness is gone [Outro: The Neverending Story Sample, Sample 2, Sample 3] Everyone knew that whoever let the sadness overtake him Would sink into the swamp It's the music of the earth The music of the sun, and the stars The music of yourself, vibrating Yes, you’re music too You’re all instruments Everyone's supposed to be playing their part In this vast arkestry of the cosmos [?] bring tomorrow [?]

This video deserves a grammy

watched about like 46 or 47 times, this shit is a masterpiece both visual and musical.

Seeing those pre-Samoa clips of Earl hit me with that crazy nostalgia

I teared up seeing them both young

That never ending story snippet took me way back

Its glad to see earl rapping about not selling his soul. DMX would be proud.

The sample sounds like it's pulled from some moment of resolve in DBZ or something. It just gives me these "It's only gonna get harder from here on out, but we're getting stronger every day, so we'll get through it" kind of vibes, and I'm totally here for it.

NOBLES IS BACK ON SPOTIFY

Earl hasn't sounded so lively in a while

true poetry. every bar feels smooth to the ears

The musical tone of this song accompanied with a nostalgic hip hop visual, is it for me. @1:45 to the end, i don't even know how to fully describe the current of energy radiating throughout my body as i'm listening to the mellow voice speaking and frequency of sounds playing.

Add this back to streaming services I beg

These colours cosmic! Earl grey and navy blue over alchemical mixtures.... forget about it - brilliant!

Al + Earl is always a guarantied classic

Different vibe, this is mature. This was great.

Alc dedication to his craft is the last we are gonna see as far as diversity in sounds and rhythms and how deep one digs for them (talking vinyls from around the world from diff periods of time) We are truly blessed to be in this lifetime

The Sun Ra snippet 🔥

Undegound kings ! Cant wait for the collab project !

Alchemist can make me like any rapper

Seeing Earl go back and forth on verses is just kinda...strange at this point He always was a solo act But seeing that he is doing better, and is, in fact, doing shit and going outside just makes me happy. Plus, it's a great verse Also, I just realized that Navy Blue is Sage Elsesser, which is why Earl and him go way back and they feature with each other so often
