2 Chainz

Tauheed Epps (born September 12, 1977), professionally known as 2 Chainz (formerly Tity Boi) is an American rapper from Atlanta. 
He initially gained recognition as a member of the rap duo Playaz Circle with fellow rapper Early "Dollar Boy" Conyers. In 2012 he signed a solo deal with Def Jam Recordings and that year released debut solo album Based on a T.R.U. Story charting at number one on the Billboard 200. He has since released B.O.A.T.S. II: Me Time (2013), ColleGrove (2016) and Pretty Girls Like Trap Music (2017) all charting within the top three on the Billboard 200. 
== Career ==
In 1997 2 Chainz founded the rap duo Playaz Circle with high school friend Earl Conyers and adopted Tity Boi as his stage name. They released the album United We Stand, United We Fall in 2002 and were introduced to Atlanta rapper Ludacris. Ludacris signed 2 Chainz to his label Disturbing Tha Peace. The duo's debut album to a label Supply & Demand made them famous in the US rap scene. They also released another album Flight 360: The Takeoff in 2009. Shortly after 2 Chainz left Disturbing Tha Peace.
In 2011 he changed his stage name from Tity Boi to 2 Chainz due to accusations his name was derogatory to women. His first mixtape after the name change T.R.U. REALigion charted at number 58. In 2012 he released his debut studio album Based on a T.R.U. Story which debuted at number 1 on the Billboard 200. In 2013 he released his second album B.O.A.T.S. II: Me Time which charted at number 3. In 2016 2 Chainz released a collaborative album with Lil Wayne titled ColleGrove (although due to Lil Wayne's dispute with Cash Money Records, 2 Chainz was credited as the primary artist). 
After the release of a few mixtapes, 2 Chainz released his fourth album Pretty Girls Like Trap Music in 2017, charting at number 2. In 2018 he released an EP The Play Don't Care Who Makes It and announced his fifth album Rap Or Go To The League will be released in late-2018.
