Playaz Only Live Once [Cassette]

2 Chainz teams up with Statik Selektah for Playaz Only Live Once, a full-length collaboration produced entirely by the Boston beatmaker. The Atlanta trap star behind Based on a T.R.U. Story and Pretty Girls Like Trap Music trades glossy club production for Statik's crate-dug loops and dusty soul samples, landing somewhere between East Coast boom-bap and Southern rap swagger.

It's a looser, more reflective 2 Chainz: "A Week in Paris" is all designer-label storytelling over warm, soulful textures, while "Pops" turns inward to grief and the lessons of his late father. This edition comes on cassette, for tape collectors and anyone who likes their boom-bap with a little hiss.
