The Beautiful Now – Life At Ease (ft. Jneiro Jarel, BIGYUKI & Brandy Butler)

Life at ease in hip-hop’s left field: this new track by Swiss production duo The Beautiful Now is the playful closing track of their upcoming debut EP, MOES. “Life at Ease” features the incomparable emcee/producer Jneiro Jarel, soul singer Brandy Butler, as well as a synth solo by BIGYUKI, who has worked before with the likes of J. Cole, A Tribe Called Quest & Talib Kweli.

In their own words, the new production duo is ready to create “modern beat-based world music. A personal concoction of earthy soul-inflected hip-hop, infused with a range of Afro-diasporic sounds.” Are you still with me?

Hope so, so The Beautiful Now’s “Life At Ease” can speak for itself:

Just an ordinary guy always on the hunt for extraordinary music. Not just as the founder of The Find Magazine & Rucksack Records, but also as a freelance music journalist (bylines at Tracklib, Bandcamp, Wax Poetics, DIG Mag, among others) and—above all—out of love for all kinds of good music.
