2 Chainz show upgraded to a bigger venue!
For those of you who were worried about missing out on tickets, don't fear! You'll be happy to know that Hip Hop’s man of the moment 2 Chainz has upgraded his show in the Capital next month due to phenomenal demand. The show will now take place at South London’s Electric Brixton, on Wednesday 14th November 2012. The US Rapper has had his foot flat on the gas in 2012 and has been experiencing major success with hit singles No Lie featuring Drake and Birthday Song featuring Kanye West, taken from the US Number 1 album, ‘Based on a T.R.U. Story’.
The Hip Hop heavyweight’s efforts were also recognised at the prestigious BET Hip Hop Awards, when 2 Chainz picked up three well-deserved trophies; Rookie of the Year, People’s Champ Award and Sweet 16: Best Featured Verse for Mercy, as well as being mentioned in Reese’s Perfect Combo Award alongside Kanye West, Big Sean and Pusha T.
2 Chainz is a product of the competitive Atlanta scene that spawned his first group, the duo Playaz Circle (in which he was known as Tity Boi), who made their mark back in 2007 with the rap-R&B-pop crossover hit Duffle Bag Boy featuring Lil’ Wayne. College Park native Tity Boi was a lifelong friend of Chris Bridges, aka Ludacris, but the time would come when 2 Chainz would fly the nest to make it on his own.
His first step toward independence was the 2007 mixtape, ‘Me Against The World’. Showing that he could stand on his own, he vowed to Turn Up in 2009, and he did exactly that with the double-disc mixtape ‘All Ice On Me’, followed by his two-part Trapavelli series. Both had cameos from the likes of fellow underground kings Bun B and Gucci Mane, as well as his 2009 street hit Stupid and the surprise 2010 radio smash Boo.
Proving that he could write street anthems with crossover appeal, he capitalized on his notoriety with the back-to-back mixtape releases of ‘Codeine Withdrawal’ in 2010, and ‘Codeine Cowboy’ in 2011. The 2 Chainz buzz had reached a fever pitch with the likes of Busta Rhymes, Young Jeezy and Pusha T jumping at the chance to join what he likes to call his “campaign.”
With his “campaign” now at boiling point, this London show will see the culmination of a massive year which has so far seen 2 Chainz release his debut solo and US Number 1 album, ‘Based on a T.R.U Story’, as well as dropping two singles, taking the BET Hip Hop Awards by storm and making guest appearances on Beez In The Trap with Nicky Minaj, Mercy with Kanye West and alongside Snoop Dogg on Chris Brown’s Oh Yeah.
With the show's date drawing ever-near, it is imperative that you get a hold of your tickets FAST! Now we've warned you that they'll sell out quickly, you'd be an absolute fool if you miss out the 2nd time round! It is guaranteed to be an explosive event, so you need to be there!
