"We're black and we're used to it," Grae says, laughing. While political angst gripped the nation, they found themselves celebrating a personal milestone. After a five-year creative union that has manifested in everything from a live interactive play series ( The Sequels) to an animated audiobook ( Good Night, Courtney), Grae and Chris announced their engagement via Twitter last year. Of course, Everything Is Fine isn't the only beautiful music these two have been making. "Took me until my 30s just to put my finger on it / Once you accept the knowledge, solace doesn't follow, honest," Grae raps on the slow-burning, seemingly autobiographical closer, "River." Deeper into the album, the tone morphs into melancholy as they undress to reveal an emotional catharsis. "My Contribution to This Scam" mocks every corny hip-hop prototype, from the conscious backpacker MCs to the Instagram models-turned-rappers, while "Gold, Purple, Orange" turns up the dial on inherent misperceptions: "Er'body alt-right gotta be white / Er'body disagree gotta be wrong / Er'body black d*** gotta be long," Chris raps on the song, whose hilarious video follows up the visual theme set by the album art, casting the duo as a couple of narcissists at an '80s glamour shoot.

The narrative plays out over an album full of off-kilter flows, dissonant vibes, sarcastic skits and an outlook that offers as much absurdity as it does sobering honesty and self-reflection.
