With only a few days away from the anticipated release of 2 Chainz & Lil Wayne‘s Welcome 2 Collegrove, the duo treated fans to an album trailer.
Narrated by 50 Cent, the short clip, shared in a joint social media post, depicts a younger version of the rappers and tells the story of their career beginnings and how they met.
“Let me tell you a story about these two guys that eventually became brothers,” 50 says. “You got this kid named Tune, Tunechi, some s*** like that. Straight out of 17th of New Orleans.”
He continues with Wayne’s backstory: “Been rich since he was like 13, 14 years old. He came with his own style, they tried to steal his s***. He ended up putting the whole game on his back, had clientele for years and always had good product.”
50 then delves into 2 Chainz’s come-up: “And then you got Slim from the South Side of Atlanta. Loved playing basketball, he a real mama’s boy. And that’s how he got the name Tity Boi,” he says.
He adds that when the two met up, they “devised a plan on how to take over the land, it kind of went like this. Welcome to Collegrove.”
The teaser seems to be part one of a series of preview content, considering the post caption reads, “Scene 1” and only four of the 21 album tracks were revealed.
