Larry June, 2 Chainz, and The Alchemist have officially released their highly anticipated joint album, Life Is Beautiful, via EMPIRE. The project merges three distinct styles into a seamless blend of luxury, hustle, and introspection, showcasing each artist’s strengths while pushing creative boundaries.
The album delivers a mix of smooth jazz-inflected beats and cinematic production from The Alchemist, balanced by Larry June’s laid-back wisdom and 2 Chainz’s sharp, charismatic delivery. The chemistry between the trio is undeniable, making Life Is Beautiful a celebration of success and resilience.
To mark the release, the group will perform the title track on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon next Wednesday, February 12, which will also serve as Larry June’s late-night television debut. With this project, the trio cements their place as one of hip-hop’s most exciting collaborations of the year.
