Tity Boi AKA 2 Chainz is one half of Playaz Circle along with long time friend Dolla Boy. 2 Chainz played basketball at ASU (Alabama State University) in Montgomery, Alabama. 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".

The song "Girl's Best Friend" by 2 Chainz and Ty Dolla $ign is a celebration of materialism and the indulgence of luxury. The song is filled with references to buying diamond jewelry, designer brands and living a lavish lifestyle. The chorus of the song, "They say diamonds a girl's best friend", is a nod to the legendary Marilyn Monroe's classic song, "Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend".
In the first verse, 2 Chainz boasts about his wealth and status, declaring that he doesn't need to censor himself or wait in lines at the bank. The line "I'm too good to be in line at the bank" is a tongue-in-cheek reference to the fact that the rapper has no need to stand in line to deposit cheques or withdraw cash because of his immense wealth. In the second verse, Ty Dolla $ign narrates his trip to the jeweler to indulge in more expensive diamond jewelry and accessories.
The song's chorus is catchy and repetitive, making it a radio-friendly pop-rap tune. However, the subject matter is shallow and superficial, with the lyrics revolving around possession and acquisition of costly items. Overall, "Girl's Best Friend" is a fun song but its lyrics are not valuable beyond their entertainment value.
