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 90βs. 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".

Ridin' with my dogs, that's a pit stop (pit stop)
Drop some chicken off, that's a win' stop (wing stop)
Show me all my sons out of wedlock, yeah
Got the draco in the headlock, tryna dodge a cell block
Nigga full of bedrock (bedrock)
Got the whole look off the catwalk
Got it out the mud, out the asphalt (asphalt)
Shorty you so fine, hard to look in your eyes
With a big ol' booty, it's yo ass fault (ass fault)
Told a nigga I know your kind
If you came on my side, woulda robbed you with the mask off (mask off)
Told my young niggas don't crash out (crash out)
Never let him know where the stash house (stash house)
Millionaire friends with the blacked-out mirror
With the racks out, make his scale tap out (tap out)
Turkey bag on top of turkey bag (turkey bag)
Digit scale on top of digit scale (digit scale)
Glock 40 on Glock 40
All while I had a record deal (yeah)
Why the niggas stay in Riverdale (trouble)
Heard them niggas try and kiss and tell (damn)
Try to charge Nev off with a body

Killer flyin' down seekin'
Fifteen spread, two or three bad l
Ten grams tryna jump even
Cooked them in Sprite, vanilla extract, still taste
We ain't been speakin' plug

The nigga you braggin' on, I probably fronted him
Your family put up for collateral
You go to ridin' the passenger, punish him
Eight million dollars for a metric ton load
Thirty-three M's when you get the club gone
Boat hit the dock, it was already sold
Real street nigga with a mouth full of gold (bye-bye)
If I get arrested my bail paid
Project, I stay by the railway
I stood on the block, then I got me a spot
Now my daughter go shop for some Chanel frames
Trackin' device on the back of the car
But I'm thuggin', I know how to sell weight
Quiet now I'm cut, I'm controllin' the gutter
Bitch, I'm from the slum where they sell age
