2 Chainz
A little artistic reinvention never hurt anybody. The MC formerly known as Tity Boi broke out from his group Playaz Circle and embarked on a solo mission that paid huge dividends. As 2 Chainz, the ATL standout fired up the streets with mixtapes like Codeine Cowboy and T.R.U. Realigion. With street bangers like “Spend It” under his belt, 2 Chainz stood as the poster child for rap’s underground and then cashed in when he signed his major-label deal with Def Jam this month.
