Bad Choices is a masterclass in restraint. While Larry June has built a career on the Good Job ethos of health and wealth, this single leans into the quiet moments of the hustle. It sounds like expensive leather and cold morning air. The production is anchored by a bassline that feels like a heartbeat, steady and unwavering, while shimmering keys provide a sense of luxury that feels earned rather than flaunted. It is the kind of track that demands a certain level of maturity from the listener, rewarding those who appreciate the nuances of a well-placed ad-lib or a perfectly timed pause. Owning this track is about curating a specific mental space. It is for the person who values the process as much as the result. The sonic palette is remarkably consistent, avoiding the trap of overproduction to let Larry’s conversational delivery take center stage. It feels like a private conversation held in the back of a moving car, where the city lights blur into streaks of gold and white. It is essential for any collection that prioritizes mood and atmosphere over radio-ready hooks, offering a sophisticated take on modern West Coast hip-hop that feels both timeless and immediate.

Moments Worth Listening For
The subtle shift in the bassline at the halfway mark that adds a layer of melancholy to the groove.
Larry's voice dropping to a near-whisper during the bridge, emphasizing the intimacy of the confession.
The way the soulful guitar sample filters out during the final ten seconds, leaving only a steady, heartbeat-like kick drum.
