2011 came and went with many finding themselves late to the 2 Chainz party, not realizing what a banner run the guy had until the year’s final quarter. As a result, I’ve seen countless times where latecomers ask “what’s the deal with this guy?” The only way his ascension can be described is to compare it to a street minister, propped up on an outdoor platform while delivering his message to a small but captivated audience. Passersby are drawn in by the conviction in the speaker’s voice, so firm and self-convinced to the point where they start to listen and believe him too. The orator becomes even more impassioned and confident with each new spectator. Imagine the speaker as 2 Chainz and the crowd to be the growing number of fans and artists alike who understand what he’s bringing to the pulpit every time it’s his turn to rap.

All of that explained, 2 Chainz’s official DJ, DJ E Sudd, releases the new mixtape titled Featuring 2 Chainz highlighting his best features from the past few months. View the tracklisting by clicking here, download below and prepare to join the congregation.
