When you hear the phrase, everythings fine, we immediately understand it as emotional shorthand. In daily life, we depend on those perfunctory clichs (hope all is well, good to hear from you, etc.) to spare ourselves from the psychological unpacking that the truth requires. For that, theres art. For that, theresEverythings Finefrom Jean Grae and Quelle Chris, a jagged, acerbic odyssey that brilliantly riffs on this dystopian zeitgeist.
Released on Mello Music Group, this album replaces that reflexive clich with honest and eloquent tangents. Its specific and subtle in its execution, achieving equilibrium between lackadaisical detours to smell the flowers and the frantic acknowledgement that theres an inferno raging outside.
Its rare to find a record where two rappers are so seamlessly intertwined. Yes, thats partially a by-product of the teamwork that goes into being in any normal relationship where you wake, sleep, and dream together. But the album also bears the hallmarks of two singular creative geniuses trading bars, collaborating on beats, and combining fun with internal therapy and external observations. It features indelible cameos from Denmark Vessey, Grammy Award winner Anna Wise, Your Old Droog and Big Tone, as well as comics Ashok Dap Kondabolu, Michael Che, Nick Offerman, and Hannibal Burress.
In the streaming era, we tend to naturally overlook albums that require multiple listens. This is a record that will grab you on first listen, but its greatness only reveals itself through its careful construction, slick wordplay, and esoteric allusions. Its spontaneous and free, yet refined and meticulous. Even if everything is abject, its a reminder that music can transcend.
