While appearing on MTV Rapfix yesterday to discuss his new Def Jam deal, 2 Chainz revealed he’s been in the lab for a YEAR now with a super famous (and talented!) rapper/producer. Find out who it was and some details on what they’re cooking up below.
During his visit to “RapFix Live” on Wednesday (February 1) 2 Chainz confirmed that he’s now officially a part of the Def Jam roster, which also happens to mean that he’s now label mates with Kanye West. And conveniently enough, the two have already been recording music together. “One thing that people may not know is that I’ve been working with Kanye West for the past year,” 2 Chainz said.
“We have records together, we have ideas that we’re planning on releasing to the world real soon. I’m tryna get my ‘N in Paris’ swag up.”
Chainz is aiming to drop his official solo debut, tentatively titled T.R.U. 2, later this year. When broken down, T.R.U. is an acronym for The Real University, so working with the College Dropout makes sense for the “Spend It” MC.
“For the most part, when we started building our relationship, we found out we had more things in common than different from a musical standpoint,” he said. “It’s no secret that I came from the hustle background, from that trap, and it’s no secret that he’s maybe more of a hipster swag, backpack kinda guy. So I think it’ll be interesting when you just drop that in the pot, in the blender, and see the outcome and results of some of that.”
