In 2015, Gibbs and Currensy recorded a track titled "Fetti" for Welcome to Los Santos, a studio album produced by the Alchemist and Oh No to be included as a fictional in-game radio station in the Windows version of Grand Theft Auto V. It is not confirmed whether the track had any relation to the conception of the album.{{Cite web|url=https://www.discogs.com/The-Alchemist-And-Oh-No-Welcome-To-Los-Santos/release/7004398|title=The Alchemist* And Oh No - Welcome To Los Santos|website=Discogs|language=en|access-date=2018-10-27}}

Fetti received acclaim from critics. At Metacritic, the mixtape scored an 86 out of 100 based on four reviews.

In a positive review, Nathan Fisher of Clash praised the chemistry between the rappers, as well as commending the production: "despite the difference in the lyrical content delivered by Currensy and Gibbs, there is an unquestionable musical synergy between the two, and with Currensy and Alchemist already having completed two projects, it would be unsurprising if fans demanded something similar from Alchemist and Gibbs. Before its release, Fetti had the potential to be one of the strongest hip-hop albums of the year due to the skilled people involved and it has no doubt fulfilled that promise." Timmhotep Aku of Pitchfork wrote that Fetti is "a short, sweet, and potent mix, an example of the good that can happen when seasoned vets link up and operate under the radar and outside of the major label system." The production of the album was praised, stating that "The Alchemist is the centerpiece of the whole affair, the unseen ringleader whose presence is felt without him having to speak a word. He employs a production style that’s all about mood; using ’70s soul records to create the soundscape at the nexus of Blaxploitation soundtracks and eerie, ’80s-style synths."

All tracks produced by the Alchemist.
