Larry June + 2 Chainz + The Alchemist = "Life is Beautiful"

 

So I came across this album while looking for new music to work to. I'd updated my New Year's resolution to something fun so I'm going back to listen to classic albums I'd never heard. But I'd taken a few deviations to try new things and found this. Larry June + The Alchemist + 2 Chainz.

"Life is Beautiful" is a dope collaborative project that made me realize I'd been severely sleeping on 2 Chainz as an emcee. Larry June and the Alchemist have teamed up before and it was pretty dope but I wasn't expecting the addition of 2Chainz or for it to slow so well.

The album is pretty smooth, like this is luxury rap at it's finest. 

Apple Music says this about the release.

"Commonalities and contrasts between the two rappers make Life Is Beautiful a uniquely satisfying listening experience. “Colossal” recalls 2 Chainz’s Most Expensivest exploits, his luxe litany of decidedly un-humble brags pleasantly incongruous with June’s signature lifestyle index involving fresh-squeezed juices, vintage timepieces, and automotive excellence. At times, they suit one another like a well-balanced cocktail, trading unapologetically profane bars for more methodical and measured ones on “I Been” and “Any Day.” Elsewhere, their shared maturity differentiates them from the brand-name-dropping rap pack, their grown-folks motivations informing the flexes of “LLC” and the title track. Devoid of distractions from outside guests, both artists’ skills and quirks come to the fore over Alchemist’s breathtaking, often sublimely soulful, instrumentals."
