Well…the time has officialy arrived.  On Tuesday, August 14, 2 Chainz will debut his first solo album, Based On A T.R.U. Story.  B.O.A.T.S is expected by many to be one of the top rap albums of the year. Will 2 Chainz surpass Nas and Rick Ross?  That question is up for debate. But nevertheless, we’re sure the huge buzz he’s created for himself over the past 2 years will prove to be financially beneficial.

 

Leading off with “No Lie” (feat. Drake) as the first single proved to be a hit.  “Birthday Song” (feat. Kanye West) was a little mediocre.  The radio didn’t eat that up.  Now as his third prerequisite before The Real University (T.R.U.) opens and flood our speaker systems, 2 Chainz and Nicki Minaj collabs and tell us why they love strippers with “I Luv Dem Strippers”.  Also, featuring cameos from T.I. and Young Jeezy, check out the new video below:
