2 Chainz And Statik Selektah Tease Upcoming Joint Album
The news comes following Chainz’s collaborative album Life Is Beautiful with The Alchemist and Larry June.
2 Chainz and Statik Selektah are teasing their upcoming collaborative album.
Last week, Selektah shared a screenshot on Instagram of a post on X from NFR Podcast detailing some of the album’s features, which include Lil Wayne, Westside Gunn, Larry June, Mary J. Blige and Ceelo Green.
“Way more features,” the producer wrote.
Meanwhile, in an interview with Complexpublished last week, Chainz also spoke about the forthcoming project.“[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.”
