He was first known for being one-half of southern hip hop duo, Playaz Circle. They're recognized for being signed to Ludacris' record label Disturbing tha Peace and their debut single "Duffle Bag Boy".

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".

Girl I'm on that clean shit, you already know
You ain't never seen this, I'm ready to go
I got em saying, I, I, I, I, I, I
I know I've been away
But I, I, I, I, I, I
I'm in your city today

I know you love me

And I know you're down
'Cause we always end up fucking every time I'm in town
Every time I'm in town (oh oh oh oh oh oh)
Every time I'm in town (oh oh oh oh oh oh)

Baby I just landed, you gon' pick me up
Heard you like to squirt, I might lick it up
Conspicuous, I speed it up
And I slow it down like I'm on Robitussin
I'm known for crushing, your known for blushing
Oh what was that
You blowing kisses, I throw 'em back, pull into that culdesac
Back then no chauffeur, back seat like a sofa
One leg on my shoulder, other leg and it's over

I know you love me
And I know you're down
'Cause we always end up fucking every time I'm in town
Every time I'm in town (oh oh oh oh oh oh)
Every time I'm in town (oh oh oh oh oh oh)

Met her once and you missed me, girl you crazy
With no makeup on, you're still pretty lady
And you beautiful, inside and outside
I don't know if I should buy my wife a house, or make you my house wife
You call me, I come through
You pass out, I come too
Dippin' it like fondue, spinach dip, cheese stick
Appetizers, entrees, it's you in that lingerie
As far as race, you's first place, I'm only on time for one day

I know you love me
And I know you're down
'Cause we always end up fucking every time I'm in town
Every time I'm in town (oh oh oh oh oh oh)
Every time I'm in town (oh oh oh oh oh oh)

Girl I'm on that clean shit, you already know
You ain't never seen this, I'm ready to go
I got em saying, I, I, I, I, I, I
I know I've been away
But I, I, I, I, I, I

I'm in your city today
No auto-tune was used in the making of this recording, thank you for listening

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to 2 Chainz's song "In Town" depict the rapper's arrival in a girl's city and subsequent hookups with her. He boasts about his sexual prowess and confidence, claiming that every time he's in town, they end up "fucking." He also acknowledges the girl's affection for him and hints at the possibility of leaving his wife for her. The song's chorus explains that he's been away but is back in her city now and ready to go.

The lyrics, though explicit, are also a critique of toxic masculinity and patriarchal relationships. 2 Chainz portrays himself as the dominant party in the relationship, but he also acknowledges the girl's power and worth. He praises her beauty inside and out and acknowledges her agency by asking whether he should choose her over his wife. By doing this, he subverts the traditionally sexist narrative of rappers boasting about their conquests without regard for their partners.
