Chomp 2.5 is a follow-up to Russ’ 2021 album “Chomp 2”, which was a star-studded effort, featuring appearances from Papoose, The Game, Westside Gunn, Styles P, Jadakiss, Snoop Dogg, DJ Premier, Big KRIT, Jay Electronica, Big Sean, Wale, Joey Badass, Conway The Machine, Ghostface Killah and more.
In a statement previously, the Atlanta rapper stated that his catalog is not for sale. “My catalogue is not for sale because IN MY OPINION, music is an extension of the soul so selling the RIGHTS away of my music is the epitome of selling my soul. I’m not letting some random company own my soul and my creations. Plus I’ll make more $ in perpetuity by keeping it.”
“Now idk anyones situation so if you feel like it makes sense to sell your catalogue, rock out. I just wanted to clear the air on why I turned down the offer cuz I keep seeing blogs post about it so I wanted to use the moment as an opportunity to inform and provide insight,” he wrote in another tweet.
