Larry June, 2 Chainz and The Alchemist have dropped a video for their song “Colossal” from their collab album Life Is Beautiful.
Directed by David Camarena, the black-and-white visual shows the trio running around New York City during their recent press run, where they visited The Breakfast Club and performed on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.
They recently sat down with Billboard to talk about how the album came together, with 2 Chainz being hopeful that they’ll be nominated for a Grammy next year. “For me, I think it feels special,” the Atlanta rapper said. “It feels like something different than I put out into the world. That’s what gives me the confidence and the hope to think we’ll be suited and booted at the Grammys next year.” And Larry June agreed, saying, “It ain’t no expectations. It’s just great music. This what a Grammy sound like. This what great music sound like — real organic.”
The Alchemist added that he originally wanted to produce just a five-song EP, but the songs were so good, he felt it was necessary to record a full length LP instead. “Every joint just kept getting better,” the legendary producer told staff writer Michael Saponara. “I wanted to do a five-pack, and then it was clear once we did a few of them, it was like, ‘We would be cheating them if we only gave them five.’”
The three of them have been busy during this rollout. They performed in Larry’s hometown of San Francisco earlier this month during NBA All-Star Weekend, and this is already the fifth video they’ve dropped to promote the stellar project.
