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”當(dāng)中，Jean Grae和Quelle Chris通過密集的諷刺文體，夸張的模仿以及尖銳的說唱提及了大量的當(dāng)代話題-----從警察對(duì)黑人的不公平對(duì)待到前所未有火爆的Instagram網(wǎng)紅模特們。她們之間的對(duì)話不一定會(huì)得出某個(gè)結(jié)論，但是都是極具巧思，而且二人的合唱并沒有為了得出一些實(shí)在的東西而失去個(gè)人風(fēng)格。Grae代表的是穩(wěn)重傳統(tǒng)派：她在技術(shù)上十分精準(zhǔn)；而Chris卻不走尋常路。然而盡管她們有著許多不同，卻在說唱和制作上，都結(jié)合得完美無缺。這種平衡一路帶到了她們的大批聽眾當(dāng)中，讓所有人都為她們的這股能量站立喝彩。而在最后，這張專輯是屬于永不滿足于“挺好”的Jean Grae 和Quelle Chris的。
