Amarie – How long has the band been together?

Alchemy Kings – 7 months give or take
And whose idea was it? It was originally brought up by Esquire.
After speaking with Mr. Murda, it was decided to add Adrian; a
long-time collaborator and friend. Having worked together on
Various previous projects, the chemistry of the three made the
project necessary.

Amarie – Why did you choose Alchemy Kings as a band name?

Alchemy Kings – Words were thrown around between Esquire, Murda, Adrian, and others until
Esquire coined the name ‘The Alchemy Kings’. Merriam-Webster
Defines it as…

To achieve the transmutation of the base metals into gold, the
Discovery of a universal cure for disease, and the discovery of a
Means of indefinitely prolonging life
2: a power or process of transforming something common into
something special. The later definition encompassing our true thought process.
