Released last week, Life Is Beautiful is an 11-track album between Larry June, 2 Chainz and The Alchemist.

Prior to this, Larry June and Alchemist released The Great Escape in 2023. The pair previously spoke with Okayplayer about how a mutual friend, artist Jay Worthy, brought them together, which ultimately led to The Great Escape.

“I was featured on the album [Al] did with Worthy. And then, he tapped us in and we just started cooking. He wasn’t fully familiar, but he heard what I did on his beats and he wanted to do some work,” June said.

“Yeah, I been checking in, but I wasn’t fully tapped all the way in. And then when Worthy put him on the joint, it was really going crazy,” Alc added. “I had to kind of go back and listen and do my research. Like, ‘Yo, this dude is really dope.’ Sometimes you get up and you make a couple things and it’s good. As a producer, you be like, ‘All right, I can get with this person, make some records every now and then.’ But some people you get with and you’re like, ‘Damn, I can really flush out a whole project.’ But once we started I think I sent some beats, we started cooking, and then I heard the potential. I think we both did.”
