So how did the rapper who still went by the not-as-vulgar-as-it-sounds Tity Boi all the way up until November 2011’s underground smash T.R.U. The hardest-working man in an industry full of them, he’s contributed verses to songs by everyone from Lil Chuckee to DJ Khaled, 8Ball to Meek Mill, Yo Gotti to Justin Bieber, Kanye West to Nicki Minaj, all while touring the country alongside Drake’s Club Paradise revue. “We back,” he pronounced, “and I know a lot of y’all feel like, ‘You never was here.'”įive years and one high-profile name-change later, now working as a solo artist, Epps is back again, silencing those skeptics without having to address them directly. īaked on a T.R.U.Once upon a time, before 2 Chainz was 2 Chainz - back when he was barely Tity Boi - the man who we’ll for the moment refer to as Taheed Epps opened his duo Playaz Circle’s 2007 major-label debut with a defensive spoken-word intro. Let’s just hope that the rapper doesn’t go the Coolio route and start cooking on television – if there’s one thing the world doesn’t need it’s another TV chef.
It’s certainly a novel idea when it comes to standing out in the overpopulated rap world, and where 2 Chainz is concerned it’s probably a better idea than guesting on Kreashawn tracks and rhyming the same word together repeatedly.

He explained that the book would contain “Probably about 14 to 15 meals, many songs, that’s gonna tell you what was used to make these as far as ingredients, and cooking time and all of that stuff, and probably the pros and the cons of eating it.” Entitled B.O.A.T.S II: Me Time, the record will be accompanied by a cookbook, which 2 Chainz assures will have a recipe for each track. Rappers and food go together like peas and carrots, just ask former chef Action Bronson, and in an interview with Power 105.1, hard working rapper 2 Chainz announced some pretty unusual plans for his next album.
