The year-end lists keep coming but the year’s not over yet, and we’re still getting new announcement of new albums set to come out before 2025 begins. Underground rap lifers Roc Marciano and The Alchemist just announced The Skeleton Key, a followup to their beloved 2022 collaborative album The Elephant Man’s Bones (one of our favorites of that year), and it comes out next week (December 13). The first single is “Chopstick,” which finds the duo’s post-boom bap vibes sounding as moody and ominous as ever. Watch the Evidence-directed video below.
