Larry June, 2 Chainz & The Alchemist Keep It Smooth on “I Been”
Larry June and The Alchemist have already proven they’re a winning combination, crafting music that feels both luxurious and effortlessly cool. Their 2024 album The Great Escape was a standout, and now, in 2025, they’re back—this time with an extra layer of star power. Enter 2 Chainz, who joins the duo on I Been, making this collaboration even more exciting for hip-hop fans.
The Alchemist laces the track with his signature blend of soulful loops and crisp drums, creating the perfect backdrop for Larry’s laid-back delivery and 2 Chainz’s charismatic bars. Larry coasts through the beat with his signature motivational flexes, dropping game about wealth, consistency, and maintaining a boss mentality. Meanwhile, 2 Chainz slides in with his trademark wit and smooth wordplay, complementing Larry’s relaxed energy with a bit of Southern flair.
Following Left No Evidence, this marks the second joint effort from the trio, and it delivers exactly what fans hoped for—polished, high-class production paired with effortless, player-like raps. I Been is proof that this chemistry isn’t just a one-time thing. If this is a preview of what’s to come, hip-hop heads have a lot to look forward to in 2025.
