For a minute, it felt like 2 Chainz was a finishing spice for just about every great dish on the menu. At first, the fame was for guest work: Kanye, Nicki Minaj (“Beez In the Trap”), Juicy J (“Bandz a Make Her Dance”), A$AP Rocky (“F****n’ Problems”). The jokes stuck: “Need a tat on my stomach that say ‘prawns only,’” went a line on 2017’s “Poor Fool.” But now they came on the back of memories of living in Section 8 housing, prayers that his mom would quit smoking, and real-life reckonings: “If I’m not successful,” he rapped earlier in the same verse, “ain’t nobody gon’ come console me.”īorn Tauheed Epps in 1977 in the Atlanta-area city of College Park, he got his start with a duo called Playaz Circle, but didn’t truly break out until the early 2010s. You could be the realest dude breathing…if he held his breath (“Birthday Song”).īut in a move that seemingly nobody saw coming, 2 Chainz became one of the most indispensable rappers of the trap era, a guy whose relatively late start-he was in his mid-thirties before he became a commodity-belied a stamina, perspective, and raw soul that made the rest of the playing field look green by comparison. He’d take your wife, give her back-nine months later, Similac (Rick Ross, “Spend It”). He was drunk and high at the same time, drinking champagne on an airplane (Kanye West’s “Mercy.1”).
From music veterans such as Trey Songz, Ty Dolla, and Shelly FKA DRAM $ign to newbies like Pink Sweat$, Ayanis, and Tayla Parx, Still Home For The Holidays packs a lot of much-needed flavor in time for Thanksgiving and Christmas.At first it seemed like he was mostly there for laughs. With a goldmine of bars on-deck, Walker is finally at peak-form lyrically.Ītlantic Holiday, Still Home For The HolidaysĪtlantic Records sets the mood right this holiday season with an R&B album featuring some of the label’s brightest stars. The Milwaukee MC’s penchant for soul-stirring tracks comes alive on his latest song, “Onnalow.” The 10-year veteran doesn’t mince words, declaring himself as a savage who is willing to do whatever it takes to keep his family fed. If the mission was to create triumphant theme music, these two wordsmiths completed the task. On “We Make It Look,” Cassius and Kiss give us a five-minute masterclass in lyricism over the jazzy soundscape. Not many artists can keep up with Jadakiss, but Harlem star Saint Cassius does an admirable job holding his own. The Memphis staple bulldozes his way through fake friends on “Diss Me,” while showcasing his soft side on the R&B-tinged “Pure.” Today, he unveils his new project F-ck Everybody 3, gracing appearances by DaBaby, Lil Durk, Swae Lee, Yo Gotti, and more. The sing-songy anthem plays to Mosey’s strengths as he threads together an indelible hook destined to live in your head for the next few weeks.Įven after notching a top-ten debut on the Billboard 200 last month with his CMG partner MoneyBagg Yo, the grind doesn’t stop with Blac Youngsta. Headlined by his Hot 100 top-ten single “Blueberry Faygo,” Mosey’s prolific year continues with “Jumpin’ Out the Face.” Produced by Hitmaka, Mosey’s love for diamonds is on display, as he explains why shining every day is a must.
The trio of MCs delivers spicy bars about their sex-filled nights and explain why women continue to dominate the bedroom. Quavo, Lil Wayne and Jack HarlowĪfter a lively performance at the 2020 BET Hip-Hop Awards last month, the Florida duo keep themselves in the conversation with the “P-y Talk (Remix).” City Girls tag Quavo, Wayne, and Harlow for fresh verses while keeping their catchy hook intact. While So Help Me God is a star-studded affair, Chainz commands respect as a solo threat: he tips his hat to Jay-Z on “Southside Hov” and speaks on his love for the grind on “Vampire.”Ĭity Girls, “P-y Talk (Remix)” feat.
On So Help Me God, the rap polymath floats alongside YoungBoy Never Broke Again on the sincere “Save Me” while embracing curvaceous beauties on the instant heater “Quarantine Thick” with Mulatto.
At this point, it’s hard to ignore 2 Chainz’s consistency as an albums artist.
