Possibly my favorite hip hop album since Open Mike Eagle's Brick Body Kids. Excellent wordplay. Brilliant concept. Great chemistry. Funny, bleak, and necessary.

Jean Grae & Quelle Chris has deliver a fantastic as all hell album from start to finish. 2018 has been a great year for hip hop.

Despite evident qualities (rapological technique from the duo, wordplay, the discourse), Everything's Fine did fall flat due to its overall slow pace. Also, Grae is criminally underutilized here; they slay it every time they touch the mic.

Everything's Fine from Jean Grae and Quelle Chris provides plenty of content, an ample amount of humor and satire about modern life and at times great abstract, jazzy atmospheres. The problem with this record is it is an hour long and for every highlight there is an equivalent or even more average to just pretty good content. And to that end, there aren't a whole lot of true, gotta go back and repeatedly visit highlights; the record as a whole is good but doesn't really move much beyond that in either direction. While the lyrics and huge cast of characters is great the beats aren't all that exciting and it feels like Jean Grae is underutilized for the most part. Perhaps a record for those that really like to take a deep dive into hip hop lyrics but in the end a few listens on this one is enough.

Increasingly eerily-lifelike interludes carry most of the satirical titular theme -- when it comes to the songs, often beats are too lo-fi and raps too muffled+stuffed with obscure references to outright lay down the law. Not that I'm complaining, what with all this wit and tude and worry and wooz to wade through. In your face intermittently but a lyric sheet is sure to help unveil some gems: "I ain't social til I'm belchin' off of brewski suds", "Conspiracy craze a wave, a phrase that pays / White collar suits that look like Dave Coulier", "Your balls and malt balls, same scale". Final third is the true convincer, though: "Scoop of Dirt" gets dirty with da Droog, tension-filled/lecture-led "Zero" is Grae-exclusive and goes the hardest, "Waiting For the Moon" and "River" are Anna Wise-assisted emotional+durational peaks, "Everything's Still Fine" features Nick Offerman's broadcast from a feasible future.

such a great dynamic flow between collaboration artists / bouncy moody groove, glitchy ambient and complex jazzy elements create intense dynamic atmosphere that drive the flow and soundscape
