One of the most-anticipated albums coming into the year was definitely 2 Chainz’s ‘Pretty Girls Like Trap Music’. After a minor delay, Chainz delivers his third solo album, that follows last year’s ‘Daniel Son; Necklace Don’ and Hibachi For Lunch’ EPs.

‘Pretty Girls Like Trap Music’ is led by the Drake-assisted “Big Amount” off ‘Daniel Son; Necklace Don’ and “Good Drank” off “Good Drank” featuring Gucci Mane and Quavo off ‘Hibachi Fo Lunch’. The album also includes “4am” featuring Travis Scott and “It’s A Vibe” featuring Ty Dolla $ign, Trey Songz, and Jhene Aiko.

Aside from the album release, Chainz has been the talk of the town after he annihilated Kendrick Lamar’s “DNA.” on his LA Leakers “#Freestyle017.” His killer punchlines, quotable raps, smooth flow, and pure barz on the freestyle added extra hype to the release.

2-chainz-pgltm

Due to unforeseen circumstances the original release date for 2 Chainz new album, ‘Pretty Girls Like Trap Music’ was changed. Following a two month delay, Tity Boy and his label Def Jam have set a new release date for the highly-anticipated album of June 16th.

The former Playaz Circle rapper announced the date on his Instagram account accompanied by a video trailer. In the trailer several of Chainz’s homies and potential collaborators like Drake and Pharrell make appearances where they show love.

“You’re one of my favorite rappers of all time,” says Drake. “I say that proudly. You got the best songs.” While Pharrell chimes in with some wisdom and praise for the music.

Last year Chainz dropped a few mixtapes and this year after his original release date of April 7th was scratched he’s collaborated on a series of ‘Pretty Girls Like Trap Music’ playlists with Nicki Minaj and Blacc Chyna to name a few.

Stay tuned for more details and singles off the forthcoming album soon.


(UPDATE: 5/25 1:30 PM)

Chainz shares the artwork for his highly-anticipated ‘Pretty Girls Like Trap Music’ album just two days after announcing the release date.

The cover shows a haunted, pink bando (abandoned housing project) with thunder and tornados around it. Different shades of pink are used along the cover with the title being comprised of spray paint, a “like” emoji, and cursive writing.

Maybe Chainz will drop a new song later today to accompany the announcements.

2 Chainz Discusses Manchester Attack & ‘Pretty Girls Like Trap Music’ [PEEP]

2-chainz-appears-on-the-view

While on “The View” yesterday, 2 Chainz opened up about the recent Manchester attack at the Ariana Grande concert that left 22 dead and several injured. Chainz admitted the attack could leave a lasting negative impact on concerts with people living in fear.

“I think that situation is very unfortunate,” he said. “When people go to concerts, they feel like it’s a place to get away. For some kids, it’s their first time being away from their parents, and for parents, you hope they have a good time, get back home safely.”

Sharing the sentiment of several other artists that have commented on the situation, saying concerts are meant to be a place of unity and healing. He also believes as any terror attack, this one will effect artists of all genres in different ways.

“This is a concert where there shouldn’t be that much resistance,” he continued. “It should be safe. I know a lot of the content from hip-hop rappers, you just assume, even the venue’s insurance is just different. With this situation, it’s a trickle down effect. I don’t know where the mindset is for her. It’s just a real unfortunate situation.”

Chainz also talked about his forthcoming ‘Pretty Girls Like Trap Music’ and previewed what can be expected saying, “You can expect growth and maturation from 2 Chainz. It’s still edgy content. Good girls used to like the bad guys, and that’s what this album is about.”

‘Pretty Girls Like Trap Music’ will be dropping June 16th. Although there isn’t a track listing as of yet, you can expect collaborations with Drake, Pharrell, Migos, and others.

Could Kendrick’s recent announcement of his forthcoming album dropping April 7th have anything to do with it? It’s all speculation for now. Let’s hope Def Jam rapidly gives Chainz the green light to drop. The streets need that ‘Pretty Girls Like Trap Music’.

New Music: 2 Chainz – “It’s A Vibe” Feat. Jhene Aiko, Trey Songz & Ty Dolla $ign [LISTEN]

2chainz-vibe-sc-1488993932-640x414

Just yesterday 2 Chainz shout out a couple of angry tweets about a “#vibekiller” for leaking his newest single “It’s A Vibe” featuring Jhene Aiko, Trey Songz, and Ty Dolla $ign. Chainz drops the official audio for the raunchy single, and it definitely is a vibe.

The leak of “It’s A Vibe” was quickly removed off of SoundCloud yesterday and may be the reason, Chainz also decided to drop “Smartphone” along with it today.

“It’s A Vibe” finds all the contributors getting freaky as they all share explicit lyrics about their sexcapades, which are guaranteed to get the right vibes going.

Both “It’s A Vibe” and “Smartphone” are expected to be on Titty’s forthcoming ‘Pretty Girls Like Trap Music’ album, set to be released on April 7th.

Listen to “It’s A Vibe” below via Spotify.
