The Alchemist and ScHoolboy Q have once again combined forces with the release of Ferraris in The Rain, the lead single from The Alchemist’s upcoming album, The Genuine Articulate. Their long-standing creative partnership, which stretches back to at least 2012, has resulted in numerous collaborations, and this latest offering is another impressive addition to their catalog.
In classic Alchemist style, Ferraris in The Rain is constructed around woozy, abstract jazz samples. The lush instrumental, driven by howling saxophones, sets a moody, atmospheric tone, pulling listeners into the track’s reflective and slightly melancholic mood. The Alchemist opens the track, delivering introspective bars that effortlessly blend with the beat’s ethereal quality.
ScHoolboy Q, with his unmistakable gruff delivery, follows up, providing a stark contrast to the dreamy production. His hook, “Rain, rain, take the pain away,” resonates deeply, capturing the emotional core of the song. The track feels cinematic, and the visuals complement this vibe, featuring both artists surrounded by sleek Ferraris as rain softly falls, adding to the track’s reflective aura.
With Ferraris in The Rain, The Alchemist and ScHoolboy Q demonstrate their chemistry once again, offering a track that is both sonically captivating and emotionally compelling. As the lead single for The Genuine Articulate, it sets the stage for what’s sure to be another innovative project from The Alchemist.

The Alchemist – Ferraris in The Rain (feat. ScHoolboy Q) Lyrics
[Intro: The Alchemist & ScHoolboy Q]Yeah(Da-da, da-da, da-da) Yeah
(Da-da, da-da) Yeah, yeah
(Da-da, da-da, da-da) Yeah
(Da-da, da-da) Yeah, yeah
Ah [Verse: The Alchemist]Look, I whip the ‘Rari in the rain
Ice in my veins, I’m sippin’ on Bacardi straight
Just gettin’ started, a Harley 8 (Uh)
Icin’ all on me, I’m a birthday party cake (Happy birthday)
I’m blowin’ out your candles
They hike the ball to me, I’m the quarterback, I know about the scramble
I be guardin’ sixty seconds flat (Out here)
I’m a vintage stepper, Stacy Adams shoes with a Stetson hat (Yeah)
Don’t make me come out of my stage ensemble (Do it)
My latеst combo, danced on the work, did the macarеna and the mambo
I slide electric, worldwide respected (Uh)
The method’s been tried and tested
Chew on the track but this stomach acid digested
Luther prepare a naked section and then I dressed it
You puttin’ lipstick on the pig, can’t slap a bow on the bum
Wrap a ribbon around his wig and make him crisp (The fuck you doin’, man?)
I’m a genuine article (Uh)
The jammy’s a food processor, it’ll blend you into particles
Inside a venue, I’m Spartacus (Me)
I’m the finisher, you still working with a starter kit (Come on)
That boy is buggin’, he got bars to spit [Segue: ScHoolboy Q](Al-Alchemist, Alchemist)
I ain’t gon’ let you stand up, sit your ass down, I don’t [?]Yeah, yeah
Uh, uh, okay [Chorus: ScHoolboy Q]Rain, rain, take the pain away (Ayy, yeah, yeah)
White thing off a layaway (White ho, yeah)
Four-five, who gon’ fade away? (Pew, pew, pew)
On God, who gon’ play today? Hmm, yeah
The rose grill, is that the pearly gates?
The big clock, it got the bumper face (Face)
Hmm, the all-whites, I got shit to say (Say)
Fell out the sky, shit to say, hmm [Segue: ScHoolboy Q]White, white, hmm, fuck that
Oh, fuckboy (Ayy)
This you, disgusting
Get him away from me! [Outro: The Alchemist]Y’all know I just walk that walk
I just, you know what I do, you know
What rapper out there you would like to work with right now?
None of ’em
Hahaha, tell ’em—, tell ’em the truth, man
Tell them rapper what you really think
Of these motherfuckers who rip your style, man
Tell ’em, hahaha
Tell ’em, tell ’em what you really think of these rappers who rip your style, man
Nah, I’m just—
I’m a fan, man, I got love for ’em, for the— for the game, man, you know
Stay focused, man, you know what I mean
Sure y’all can tell life ain’t no joke, man, you know what I mean
It ain’t a game, stay focused, man
Make sure you cautious before you make a move that could be the last move you make, you heard? (Mm-hmm)
