“[Me and Statik Selektah] been working on the album for a few years. So there’s been some changes, some beat replays, some additions,” he said. “I had [1500 or Nothin’] come in and bless some of the boom bap.”

“I was using last year to really handle a lot of the personal business I had. But this year is more catered to feeding the music side of my hunger,” he added. “So it’s just another one producer produced project. I have various features: Mary J. Blige, I know CeeLo Green is on there, Westside Gunn, Larry on there, [Lil] Wayne on there. I think people will maybe accept it and digest it a little different because of Life Is Beautiful. And not to say they sound anything alike, I just think it’s the same kind of lyrical display.”

The news of Chainz and Selektah’s album comes amid the former’s well-received Life Is Beautiful album with The Alchemist and Larry June. The project, released last month, even found a fan in Tyler, The Creator, with the rapper writing in an Instagram story post, “Love this album. 2 Chainz, you on this type of time, yes.”
