Los Angeles-based hip-hop duo PARTYOF2 returns with a heartfelt single, “all 4 the best,” consisting of SWIM and Jadagrace. Through Def Jam Recordings, this newest track wrestles through the stages of emotional hell, including personal hangups and backstabs. With a confessional take, PARTYOF2 transforms emotions into an unabashed anthem about life’s tricky moments, the complexities of friendship, and the strength required to get up and keep going.
It’s a track with an air of melancholy from the first notes, as “all 4 the best” mixes moody instrumentals with lyrics that tear at you. SWIM and Jadagrace discuss themes of heartbreak and fractured trust with an easy back-and-forth delivery that makes them feel both conversational and large-scale. The track rewards its authenticity, and every word feels real. Every beat grounds the gravity of the feelings they expose.
Unpacking the song’s themes, the accompanying music video is no less resonant, the music and visuals playing off one another, adding another layer to the already-evocative lyrics. The video paints the journey through multilayered imagery and a narrative that reflects the song’s emotion as one of struggle, healing, and the complex nature of human connection.
PARTYOF2 is the kind of project that finds the sweet spot between showing real vulnerability while also being a strong body of work, further enriching the narrative that hip-hop can be both introspective and powerful. With this release, they cement their penchant for writing music that lingers beyond the surface.
A testament to their artistry, PARTYOF2’s new song reminds listeners that as they continue their rise, even in the face of heartbreak, there’s always some form of growing pain. It’s the mantra of those getting through the hardest times.
