198.Jean Grae / Quelle Chris: Everything’s Fine (2018)

On Everything’s Fine, Jean Grae and Quelle Chris tackle a range of modern topics—from the mistreatment of black people by the police to the ever-growing influence of Instagram models—through dense skits, outrageous parodies, and sharp rapping. The conversations they begin don’t always reach a conclusion, but they’re thoughtful, and the duo never sacrifices style for substance. Grae is the steady force and more of a traditionalist: She’s technically precise, while Chris is the wild card. But despite their differences, they complement each other perfectly, whether rapping or producing. That balance carries over to their wide array of guests who all rise to meet their energy. Yet, in the end, the album is about Jean Grae and Quelle Chris, who make it clear that they’re not content to be “fine.” –Alphonse Pierre

在“Everything’s Fine”当中，Jean Grae和Quelle Chris通过密集的讽刺文体，夸张的模仿以及尖锐的说唱提及了大量的当代话题-----从警察对黑人的不公平对待到前所未有火爆的Instagram网红模特们。她们之间的对话不一定会得出某个结论，但是都是极具巧思，而且二人的合唱并没有为了得出一些实在的东西而失去个人风格。Grae代表的是稳重传统派：她在技术上十分精准；而Chris却不走寻常路。然而尽管她们有着许多不同，却在说唱和制作上，都结合得完美无缺。这种平衡一路带到了她们的大批听众当中，让所有人都为她们的这股能量站立喝彩。而在最后，这张专辑是属于永不满足于“挺好”的Jean Grae 和Quelle Chris的。
