Hailing from the Southside of Atlanta, Playaz Circle came together as a compilation in the late 90’s. They released their debut album, and shortly after that, they were introduced to radio DJ Chris Lova Lova AKA Ludacris through mutual friend Lil' Fate. Unfortunately. shortly after that, 2 Chainz was shot and Dolla was incarcerated. After hearing about their misfortune, Ludacris reached out, offering to sign them. DTP began to form, and 2 Chainz was apart of the label and signed to DTP when Dolla Boy was released.
Throughout his career, Epps received speculation that the name Tity Boi was meant to be derogatory towards women, although he repeatedly denied the accusations,in early 2011 he decided to change his stage name to 2 Chainz as he perceived it to be more "family friendly".

Being untouchable and unstoppable

Making sure everyone knows their place beneath you
Can't even speak with me, huh
Only associating with those on your level
I brought them stands out
Bringing your friends or supporters along to enjoy your success
I was helpin' my mans out, you was up in the damn house
Being productive and proactive while others waste time doing nothing
They wonder how brother was gettin' them yams out
Challenging others' assumptions or stereotypes about you
It was up in the damn couch
Hiding or concealing your illegal activities in order to evade law enforcement
They cut off the lights, they cut all the fans out
Being able to adapt and be successful even in difficult, unpredictable situations
We got up and we ranned out
Overcoming obstacles and succeeding despite setbacks
I really was broke, I was damn down
Overcoming adversity and working your way to success
I couldn't even go to my fan house, shit
Being too broke or too ashamed to even associate with your supporters in the past
Go, go, go get it
Never stop chasing after success and wealth
