Based on a T.R.U. Story

2 Chainz

High-gloss Atlanta trap defined by heavy 808s and absurdist punchlines. A victory lap of luxury aesthetics and charismatic, club-ready energy.

August 14, 2012 · Def Jam Recordings

Unapologetic, high-energy confidence served with a side of clever, comedic arrogance.

Moments Worth Listening For
The jarring, infectious simplicity of the two-note piano riff on I'm Different that anchors the entire track.
The way the beat drops into a heavy, distorted crawl during the chorus of Birthday Song.
The unexpected sample of a 1930s swing vocal on Dope Peddler clashing against modern trap percussion.
