We Gonna Make It

When the Alchemist finished producing the instrumental of the song, he first played it for DJ Premier, who liked it. Rapper Nas was originally intended to record a song with the instrumental, but he did not. Jay-Z also heard the beat, but passed as well. In 1999, the Alchemist supplied the beat to rapper Ras Kass and claims he was paid for the first half of the money for the instrumental. Controversy The Alchemist claims he later attempted to receive the second half of his payment, but Ras Kass's record label Priority Records was not responding to him, so he began showcasing the beat to other artists (which he later informed Ras Kass about). Jadakiss had expressed interest in rapping to the beat, and recorded "We Gonna Make It". When the song was released, Ras Kass took issue with The Alchemist selling the beat to Jadakiss, since he had already recorded his song "Home Sweet Home" over it, leading to a feud between Ras Kass and The Alchemist. ==Live performances==
