How Abi & Alan came to be = Erykah Badu & The Alchemist detail origin of music collaboration, production alignment during Drink Champs interview

During a recent episode of Drink Champs, Erykah Badu & The Alchemist talked about how their collaboration came to be.

Alchemist spoke about being an observing fan during 1990s tour; Erykah expressed wanting to sing over the classic Mobb Deep "The Realest" instrumental; and there's the surprising mutual friend storyline - 2 degrees of separation going either way - that resulted in the "Next To You" single and anticipated Abi & Alan album.
