2 Chainz and DJ Premier have joined forces on a new track “Mortgage Free.” The collab is the first time the pair have worked together since PRhyme’s 2018 single “Flirt.”
“Since 2 Chainz joined Royce and I on PRhyme 2’s ‘Flirt,’ I returned the love back by sending him a beat while he was in the Bahamas with Statik Selektah earlier this year recording for various projects.” Premier explained in a statement, “I sent him the beat and he sent it back to me the same night.”
“The record is a reflection of my reality and I feel like an artist’s responsibility is to give the listener some game from time to time,” 2 Chainz added. “So here’s my free game.”
Over the horn-driven track, Chainz drops bars of wisdom on how to live a happy life. “The goal in life is to be mortgage free/ Control your emotions have integrity/If you wanna use my likeness I need equity/And if you really tryin’ to win you need to bet with me,” he raps.
2 Chainz reminds listeners on “Mortage Free” that he remains one of the most impressive rappers in the game, and over the summer a booted-up Connor McGregor gave him his flowers, calling Tity Boi a “lyrical genius.”
“Me and lyrical genius @2chainz,” McGregor wrote under the picture of him and 2 Chainz posing in what appeared to be a lobby after the pair ran into each other on August 5.
“‘She got a big booty so I call her big booty’ – @2chainz,” McGregor additionally wrote. “That’s the goat lyric of all time ya’s mad fools hahahahahaah classic #bigbooty.”

The only Trap rapper that can hold his ground lyrically
Yes sir!
Don’t forget, before he was 2Chainz, he was Tity Boi with Ludacris/DTP/Playaz Circle. If you paid attention, he was always an MC/Lyricist. As a smart business decision, he had to transform into 2Chainz for people to start paying attention. Now he has been bringing it back full circle as of lately (no pun intended).
Wasn’t aware of his track record. I really dig how he handles himself in interviews etc. Became one of my favourites over the last two years
