With a gold album and a handful of platinum singles under his belt, Atlanta rapper 2 Chainz's bling extends well beyond the two signature gold chains adorning his neck. After getting his start as one-half of southern hip hop duo Playaz Club, 2 Chainz launched to mainstream success in 2012 with his No. 1 solo debut Based on a T.R.U. Story. Featuring street anthems like "No Lie" and "I'm Different," the album earned him 3 Grammy nominations and the honor of being named Source Magazine's 2012 Man of the Year. In 2013, 2 Chainz kept the acronyms flowing with follow-up record B.O.A.T.S. II: Me Time, featuring Pharrell on "Feds Watching." Ticket buyers have been eating up his eccentric personal style and swagger – fans can catch him live in concert opening for Rihanna on her 2013 Diamonds World Tour.
