The new album comes with a pack of 21 tracks, with guest appearances from Usher on “Transparency”, Fabolous on “P.P.A.”, Benny the Butcher on “Oprah & Gayle”, Vory on “Godzilla”, Rick Ross on “Can’t Believe You”, Marsha Ambrosius on “Moonlight”, 21 Savage on “Big Diamonds” and more.
The duo previously worked together on the 2016 album “ColleGrove”, where only the Georgia rapper was credited as the primary artist due to Wayne’s record label issues. In March 2016, ColleGrove debuted at No. 4 on the Billboard 200. While it was first advertised as a joint collaboration between the rappers, due to Weezy’s label issues, 2 Chainz ended up obtaining credit as the lead artist.
“We’ve been working on it for some time, had a lot of clearance issues, but for the most part we’re two hardworking individuals who go in the studio every night,” 2 Chainz said in an Apple Music interview. “So, I don’t think it was hard recording the music. It just was a process of getting the music out to the people.”
He comtinued, “I think me and him just have that chemistry. We enjoy working with each other a lot, and it’s a lot of respect there. And as I always say, still sharpen still. So, it’s always that little piece of anxiety of knowing that I got to this verse has to be better than the last one. I think it’s healthy. I think competition is healthy in any and everything that we do.”
