About 2 Chainz
Following his run as a founding member of Def Jam duo Payaz Circle from his native Atlanta, 2 Chainz' name was on everyone's lips in 2012, when he stole a verse on "Mercy" fellow Def Jam artist Kanye West/G.O.O.D. Music's RIAA triple-platinum #1 R&B/#1 Rap hit (from Cruel Summer). Chainz' T.R.U REALigion mixtape (November 2011) was his first release to crack the BIllboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart, setting the stage for his signing to Def Jam. His official debut studio album, Based on a T.R.U Story (August 2012) entered Soundscan at #1 and was certified RIAA gold. Its success was fueled by the RIAA platinum #1 "No Lie" featuring Drake, double-platinum "Birthday Song" featuring Kanye West, and double-platinum "I'm Different."
"Mercy" was subsequently a Grammy nominee for Best Rap Song and Best Rap Performance, while B.O.A.T.S. was nominated for Best Rap Song and Best Rap Performance, while B.O.A.TS. II: Me Time entered Sounscan hip-hop chart at #1 in September 2013, and spun off the RIAA gold single, "Feds Watching" featuring Pharrell.
In 2016, Chainz brought back to his essence with a series of mixtapes that dominated the streets: "Felt Like Cappin, Daniel Son Necklace Don, and Hibachi For Lunch. Also in 2016, he released the lauded collaborative album ColleGrove with New Orleanship-hop luminary Lil Wayne. Critics agreed that 2 Chainz conquered 2016, with the New York Times proclaiming "all hail our greatest punch line rapper, 2 Chainz." The year was capped off with his first Grammy Award, Best Rap Performance for his verse on Chance the Rapper's hit song "No Problem."
With momentum on his side, 2 CHainz released his first solo album in four years: Pretty Girls Like Trap Music (June 2017) was accompanied by a 35-city tour of North America through September. The album racked up three multi-platinum hits: "4 AM" featuring Travis Scott, "It's A Vibe" featuring Ty Dolla $ign, Trey Songz and Jhene Aiko; and "Good Drank" featuring Quavo and Gucci Mane. Chainz' TV appearances included visits with Jimmy Kimmel, Jimmy Fallon, and Trevor Noah.
2018 brought the EP released The Play Don't Care Who Makes It (February, with RIAA gold "Proud" featuring YG and Offset), and Hot Wings Are A Girl's Best Friend (November). Rap Or Go To The League (March 2019), described at the time as 2 Chainz' most personal, most lyrical, most soulful record to date, spun off two smashes: the MTV VMA - nominated "Rule The World" featuring Ariana Grande, and the RIAA platinum "Bigger Than You" featuring Drake and Quavo, with total YouTube views near 100 million.

So Help Me God, Chainz' sixth studio album via Def Jam arrived November 2020, containing the singles "Money Maker" featuring Lil Wayne and "Quarantine Thick" featuring Mulatto. In a worldwide exclusive the day before the album release, unreleased songs from the album were premiered by NBA 2K21 on current-and next-gen consoles - a groundbreaking milestone for the release of major label music in a video game, yet another example of Chainz' impact on popular culture.
In November 2021, a massive campaign rolled out to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Chainz' T.R.U REALigion Mixtape.

In top form, Chainz then joined fellow hip-hop royalty Rick Ross, Lil Kim, Jeezy, and Gucci Mane on the nine-city Legendz of The Streets U.S. tour in February.
Chosen to star in the "Whose Back You Got" 2022 NFL Playoffs spot, the career of 2 Chainz is unstoppable. It encompasses not only music but his Most Expensivest cable tv series on VICELAND, his "Chain Reaction" sneaker collaboration with Versace, his GAS Cannabis Co. brand, and his 2019 Super Bowl LIII Expensify tv spot with Adam Scott. TheRinger.com was inspired to write; "Forget Mount Rush-more - 2 Chainz deserves his own national monument. This year dude is top five humans of all time."
