Grammy nominated and Platinum –Selling Atlanta rapper 2Chainz returns to the intimate Fillmore Miami Beach at the Jackie Gleason Theatre Tuesday, March 18th, 2014 / 8PM. Also appearing arePusha T and August Alsina. Tickets are on sale Friday, December 13th /10AM.
2Chainz is a product of the competitive Atlanta scene that spawned his first group, the duo Playaz Circle. They made their mark back in ’07 with the rap-R&B-pop crossover hit “Duffle Bag Boy”featuring Lil’ Wayne on the hook. A College Park native, he was a lifelong friend of Chris Bridges, aka DTP CEO/Def Jam recording artist Ludacris. 2Chainz first step toward independence was the 2007 mixtape, Me Against The World. Proving that he could stand on his own, he vowed to “turn up” in 2009. He did exactly that with the double-disc mixtape All Ice On Me, followed by his two-part Trapavelliseries. Both had cameos from the likes of fellow underground kings Bun B and Gucci Mane, as well as his 2009 street hit “Stupid” and the surprise 2010 radio smash “Boo.” Proving that he could write street anthems with crossover appeal, he capitalized on his notoriety with the back-to-back mixtape releases of Codeine Withdrawal in 2010, and Codeine Cowboy in 2011. By now, the 2Chainz buzz had reached a fever pitch with the likes of Busta Rhymes, Young Jeezy and Pusha T jumping at the chance to join what he likes to call his “campaign.” With a reputation for one-upping the competition by arriving via helicopter at rooftop listening parties for his own T.R.U. (The Real University) imprint, and the kind of grandiose ambition that a rapper from southside Atlanta needs to chase down the American Dream, 2Chainz officially launched his solo career as the newest signing to Def Jam Recordings. “I think the world is catching up to me,” 2 Chainz reflects in a rare moment of calm, in an otherwise hectic life. “I’ve always been confident in what I do and had the respect of the people. The best way to describe my tour is to reference a quote from Niccolo Machiavelli, author of the The Prince, who once said ‘Everyone sees what you appear to be, few experience what you really are.’ 2 G.O.O.D. 2 Be T.R.U.”.
