Good Life is the seventh studio album by Australian rapper Illy, released on 15 November 2024 through Warner Music Australia. During the week of release, the album was promoted with album release "pop ups" in Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane.[3]

Upon announcement of the album, Illy said "The saying 'the good life' paints a picture of easy streets, white picket fences, and blue skies. The real 'good life’' is in belief – knowing who you are, taking your lumps and hard times, pushing forward, proving people (sometimes yourself) wrong, and seeing it through." Illy added "The last few years have battered me, I can't lie. But Australia has given me a lot, and this is a love song to Australia, Australian hip-hop and rock and roll and the deeply Australian 'never say die' spirit that got me through."[4]

Release

The album was announced on 12 September 2024 and scheduled for release on 24 October 2024.[2][4] On 22 October 2024, Illy posted a note via instagram, saying the album has been delayed and would be released on 15 November 2024.[5]
