On August 5th, alt-rap artist Noble Lyfe teamed up with KARRAHBOO—two of alternative rap’s rising forces—to drop what’s sure to be a late summer self-love anthem, “2 Pretty.” The track effortlessly showcases the chemistry between the duo as they trade verses about living life on their own terms. It’s all about knowing your worth and refusing to entertain anything less, all set over a bouncy beat.
Noble Lyfe, a Brooklyn native, stands out with his laid-back, feel-good sound and sharp storytelling. When he came up with the tune while sipping tea at Soho House, he knew immediately that KARRAHBOO, known for her witty lines and nonchalant delivery, would be the perfect feature.
Needless to say, these two match each other’s energy like Yin and Yang. While Noble Lyfe delivers the catchy chorus—”I’m too pretty for the BS, if it’s ugly I’ll leave it alone”—KARRAHBOO joins in with her own braggadocious bars, “I’m a bad b*tch, I do not want your BD; I got a bad temper, so watch how you treat me,” adding depth to a song that’s as empowering as it is melodic.
This collaboration between two rising stars is a reminder that sometimes the best way to beat the summer heat is with a track that makes you feel good about yourself and reminds you of your worth.
“2 Pretty” is now available to stream on all platforms.
