His guest spots on songs like "Supafreak" and "Oh Well" show a dopeboy turned rapper with serious potential.īig K.R.I.T. In this first chapter of his career we see a Trap leaning Tity Boi taking baby steps to break into the industry as a leader and not just another Southern Rapper claiming trill. Regardless of the circumstances though, 2 Chainz and Dolla Boi stayed together and eventually clicked up with Ludacris and inked a deal with his label Disturbing Tha Peace. In fact, one could really argue that their breakout single "Duffle Bag Boy" helped usher in the Trap movement.īut it's often truncated from the story that Playaz Circle started out with several emcees in the 90s that pooled together drug money to cut an independent project and that 2 Chainz had never recorded prior to his first project with the group. As most of us know, 2 Chainz was Tity Boi of Playaz Circle before he was 2 Chainz, and that 2 Chainz and Dolla Boy of Playaz Circle were some of the first commercially successful rappers of the Trap Music genre. We begin our quest to gather every Tity Two Necklace guest spot in 2011 just after he officially changed his name from Tity Boi to 2 Chainz and announced his plans for a solo career.
When Tity Boi became 2 Chainz, the world's axel shifted and began spinning in a semi counter-clockwise fashion, much like the multiple chains swaying from the neck of the College Park, Georgia rapper's neck, because nearly immediately 2 Chainz began experiencing a wealth of success. While that end of the world premonition may seem far fetched, it's probably one of the best metaphors to describe one of the most well-known and consistent rappers transition from group member to solo act.
When the proverbial Olympus finally does fall and the last survivors etch the history of man into stone tablets so that we can preserve a record of our time spent on earth before the apocalypse, somewhere within those writings will probably state something like, "And thus, in the year of 2010, Hip Hop's Southern savior left the group of wise men called Playaz Circle to forgo a monumental solo journey under the biblical name 2 Chainz." Tracking the countless guest verses the Atlanta rapper has laid down since settling on the 2 Chainz moniker in 2011.
