The collaboration between Larry June, 2 Chainz, and The Alchemist on the track “Bad Choices” brings together three distinct yet complementary forces in hip-hop. Released as part of Larry June’s The Great Escape album, the song is a blend of smooth West Coast vibes, witty lyricism, and hard-hitting production, showcasing the best of all three artists.
Larry June, known for his laid-back, motivational flow, sets the tone of the track with his signature smooth delivery and focus on financial success, self-growth, and enjoying life. His lyrics reflect his hustle, steering listeners toward making better decisions while acknowledging the struggles along the way. It’s a classic Larry June style: low-key yet impactful, full of affirmations and subtle wisdom.
2 Chainz, the ATL rap veteran, brings his signature flair to the track, adding a dash of braggadocio and street knowledge. His verse is a clever blend of humor and self-assuredness, with bars that demonstrate his decades-long experience in the game. Chainz’s delivery is an ideal contrast to June’s more relaxed vibe, making their dynamic partnership on the track a highlight.
The Alchemist, known for his impeccable production, delivers a dark yet soulful backdrop for the duo. The beat has that signature Alchemist touch—sparse, atmospheric, with just enough punch to give the song a gritty edge. The haunting keys and dusty drums create an eerie mood that matches the song’s theme of navigating life’s temptations and missteps.
“Bad Choices” might explore the consequences of poor decisions, but it’s not all doom and gloom. The track is a reminder that mistakes are part of the journey and that growth comes from learning from those missteps. The blend of introspection, humor, and street-smart wisdom makes it a standout on The Great Escape and a track that resonates with fans of all three artists.
In the end, “Bad Choices” is a perfect mix of Larry June’s calm confidence, 2 Chainz’s unapologetic bravado, and The Alchemist’s atmospheric production—a track that both reflects the theme of making it through life’s challenges and embraces the journey, bad choices and all.
