New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Jean Grae & Quelle Chris have unleashed their sprawling and incisive opus of a collaborative album 'Everything's Fine,' out now on Mello
Music Group. The hilarious and harrowing hip-hop LP has been met with raves from Pitchfork Best New Music, NPR, Rolling Stone, a Village Voice feature and more. Jean and Quelle will also appear on Viceland's Desus & Mero late-night talk show on Thursday, April 5.
'Everything's Fine' boasts features from Michael Che, Nick Offerman, John Hodgman, Anna Wise, Hannibal Buress, and many more. Rolling Stone named it their Rap Release of the Month for March.
Watch the 32-bit video game music video for "Zero" below, which was directed and animated by Quelle Chris. Wired called it "a totally nostalgic head trip set to Quelle's chiptune-esque beat and Grae's Rachmaninoff-referencing raps".
The video for "Gold, Purple, Orange," features cameos from Eric Andre, Hannibal Buress, Anna Wise and more.
