Anyways, Life's Great is the second EP by American rapper GloRilla.[1] It was released on November 11, 2022, through Collective Music Group (CMG) and Interscope Records. It later peaked at number 11 on the US Billboard 200 and was nominated for Album of the Year at the BET Awards. The bonus edition was released on March 15, 2023 with four new songs.[2] The EP was supported by the singles "F.N.F. (Let's Go)" with Hitkidd, "Blessed", and "Tomorrow 2" with Cardi B, which reached the top ten of the US Billboard Hot 100.

Background

The title of the EP comes from a line from "F.N.F. (Let's Go)" (Anyways, life’s great, pussy still good).[3]

Music and lyrics

On "No More Love", GloRilla talks about "envy within her circle, being let down by a guy she thought would be different and having to abort a child" in 2021.[4] "Phatnall" is a "retort against GloRilla's exes".[5] On "Unh Unh", she says "haters might think her 15 minutes of fame are over, but she’s only getting started."[6]

Vivian Medithi of HipHopDX wrote that the EP proves that Glorilla is "one of the most exciting new rappers of any gender" although it does not always "match the lofty promises of her hit singles".[6] Heven Haile of Pitchfork praised her "agile and disarming" lyrics but pointed out "similar instrumentals and flow templates" of the songs.[7]

Jessica McKinney of Complex wrote that "her thick and husky Southern accent makes her one of the most memorable voices in the game right now." Lawrence Burney of NPR claimed that "she could be a voice for her generation."[4]
