Atlanta, GA – 2 Chainz is establishing some lofty expectations for his Pretty Girls Like Trap Music LP. The 39-year-old rapper unleashed an epic trailer for the new album that reveals the project will now be released on June 16. The project was initially expected on April 7, but delayed in March.
The video features high praise from Drake, Pharrell, The New York Times and Noisey. In the clip, Drake tells 2 Chainz that he is one of Drizzy’s favorite rappers of all time, and Pharrell refers to him as a unicorn.
The co-signs from stars like Drake and Pharrell help to set a high bar for Pretty Girls Like Trap Music. But 2 Chainz heightens the stakes by including quotes from publications in the same way a new movie uses reviews in its trailer. The former Tity Boi makes a big point to feature Noisey’s recent write-up on him, which he felt was a long-overdue acknowledgment of his growth and progression as an MC.
Although the album’s release date is right around the corner, 2 Chainz is still being pretty tight lipped about the project. The Hair Weave Killer has promised collaborations with Nicki Minaj and 50 Cent and teased new music with Drake, but no single or tracklist has been made public. As of Tuesday (May 23), all that’s known is the LP will drop on June 16.
