While Chainz has never been shy about his d-boy pedigree, he works better working with a style over substance ethos. Three tracks in and 2 Chainz is still sticking to the crack rap. Pharrell has been grinding this summer and laces a seasonal anthem for 2 Chainz.

This is the first single from the album that came out back in June. At right under a minute and a half, this is more of an interlude for the next track. It’s fitting that the producer’s name is Crack King as, just like the last track we get the trap rap backdrop, this time with synths and a piano loop. Not a bad song, but pretty underwhelming for the beginning of one of the more anticipated albums of the year.Ģ Chainz is really making sure we’re aware of his dope selling credentials, as he breaks down how many ounces are in a brick. Mike Will Made-It gives us a menacing trap beat for 2 Chainz to spit over. This would’ve made more sense as the opener to his debut album. Which is weird because we know that rap actually DID work for 2 Chainz and he’s living pretty well because of it. He then proclaims on the hook that he had a dream that rap didn’t work and now he’s going back to the streets.

He accuses her of taking money out of his pants pocket while he was asleep. With so many expectations can he do it? Read and find out.įor some strange reason we open the album with a fictional conversation between 2 Chainz and someone playing 2 Chainz’s mom. Yet, three Gold selling singles and a Gold selling album proved the haters wrong.Ģ Chainz hopes to build on his amazing 2012 with his sophomore effort B.O.A.T.S II: Me Time. After an impressive run of mixtapes and guest appearances many predicted the Cocaine Cowboy wouldn’t have anything left for his first official solo project last year’s Based On A T.R.U Story. After years of a stop and go career as one half of the Disturbing tha Peace duo Playaz Circle, the man formally known as Tity Boi did a complete makeover and transformed into the swagged out trap rap guru you see today.

Because boy did it seem like life was really trying to. 2 Chainz may be one of the best examples of the saying you can’t keep a good man down.
