The Alchemist has announced a new album with 2 Chainz and Larry June — and fans won’t have to wait very long for it to arrive at all.
In a series of previews of their studio sessions and song snippets, Alc revealed on Instagram that the effort, titled Life Is Beautiful, will arrive on February 7.

The trio released the LP’s first single and its accompanying video “Bad Choices” earlier this month — though they didn’t reveal that a full project was on the way at the time.
Check out the new clips below.
Larry June and The Alchemist previously released a joint album together in 2023 titled The Great Escape.
More recently, the decorated producer has been receiving requests for an “introspective jazz album” with Young Thug now that the Atlanta rapper is out of jail.

Alchemist responded to a fan and was on board with the idea, writing back: “Somebody send me his number i got u.”
The question has been part of a recurring meme on social media ever since Thugger agreed to a plea deal in his YSL RICO case that secured his release from jail.

The idea began in a viral post in November that said: “when Young Thug gets into his introspective bag, turns to jazz and makes a collab album with The Alchemist” next to a video of Vince Carter getting emotional at his Toronto Raptors jersey retirement ceremony.
Fans have since been taking the idea and running with it, creating hypothetical mash-ups and even fake cover art reminiscent of Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak‘s Silk Sonic album.
The Alchemist also recently had what he described as a “life altering” studio session with Erykah Badu.
Last month, he posted a series of photos showing him and Badu in the lab. He captioned the montage “Life altering,” while tagging Badu.

True to the beatmaker’s somewhat bizarre sense of humor, he added audio to the post of a Dr. Phil/Madea conversation from the 2009 film Madea Goes to Jail.
As of this writing, however, there is no word on where – if anywhere – the music they worked on will land.
