Tauheed Epps is an American hip hop/ rapper from Georgia, but is better known by his stage name, 2 Chainz.
Born on 12 September 1977 in College Park, Georgia, Epps formed a hip-hop duo in high school with his friend Dolla Boy (Earl Conyers) named Playaz Circle. At the time, he adopted the moniker Tity Boi, and together they released an independent album entitled “United We Stand, United We Fall.” They were then introduced to rapper Ludacris (who was still just a DJ), who took an interest in the duo and recorded and played some of their output together.
It was through this connection that Epps was able to hit his big break. Ludacris had become one of the highest selling rappers, and had invited Epps and Conyers to sign to his label, Disturbing the Peace. The debut album “Supply and Demand” was released in 2007, followed by a second album in 2009 called “Flight 360: The Takeoff.”
After leaving Disturbing the Peace, Epps changed his moniker to 2 Chainz to not have to deal with the accusations of how derogatory Tity Boi was. He then releaed a mixtape called “T.R.U REALigion” which peaked at number 58 on the US Billboard Top R&B/Hip Hop Albums chart. In 2012 he released his first studio album with Def Jam entitled “Based On A T.R.U Story” and sold over 100,000 copies in it’s first week. He also went on his first world headlining tour and was nominated for over 13 BET Hip Hop awards (four of which he won) and three Grammys.
In 2013, 2 Chainz ran into legal trouble, having a few run-ins with illegal drug possession. However, by September he released his second studio album, “B.O.A.T.S. II: Me Time,” which featured guest appearances by a number of other artists such as Pharrell Williams, Drake, T-Pain and Lloyd.
Read more2 Chainz - or ‘Tity Boi’ as he proudly proclaims himself on Twitter - is one of mainstream hip hop’s more intriguing propositions of recent years; he’s one of those rappers, like a modern-day Busta Rhymes, who seems to have made a name for himself more for his guest spots on the songs of others than in his own, solo right. That doesn’t mean he doesn’t have a slew of hits to his name already, though, with the Kanye-featuring ‘Birthday Song’ and ‘Used 2’ among the choice cuts from his solo canon. On the live front, too, he’s made some serious headway in recent years as far his own profile is concerned; his set at last year’s Made in America festival in Philadelphia - as well as suggesting the implicit approval of the event’s founder, Jay Z - was an exercise in controlled intensity, with sparse beats forcing Chainz and his hype men to do the heavy lifting. He rose to the occasion by delivering his verses with genuine menace, controlling the crowd less through typical, “everybody bounce!” tactics and more in terms of presenting himself as a brooding, compelling presence; to see a mainstream rapper take such a different approach was genuinely refreshing, and when he does route a proper uK tour of his own, we should hope for more of the same.
Tauheed Epps better known by his stage name 2 Chainz is often more recognised for his guest spots on tracks as opposed to his own original material. Having collaborated on international hits with the likes of Nicki Minaj, Juicy J, Jason Derulo and Tinie Tempah. Therefore the prospect of seeing the hip hop star live was exciting for most of the revellers at Wireless Festival. With an almost endless amount of possibilities to include in the set, there was much conversation and debate before the bass kicked in and 2 Chainz appeared with a barrage of hype men and dancers.
Kicking straight in with a back to back rendition of 'U Guessed It' and 'I Love Dem Strippers'. The crowd cheered manically as they danced below stage encouraged by Tauheed's entourage. He quickly ran through some of his own solo tracks before dropping his first collaboration, 'Fuckin' Problems' with ASAP Rocky. The audience nearly lost their minds as 2 Chainz performed the massive track with ease before confidently holding his hands high to allow his crowd to shower him in applause. Finishing with 'Birthday Song', featuring Kanye West, it was clear to see why so many people want to work with 2 Chainz.
I didn't get a chance to go to the concert as I was just getting in town off a 15hour l road trip from Georgia I had to hurry to the hotel for my best friend 30th birthday bash and that's where I saw Mr. 2 Chainz coming in the Hotel and then coming back after the concert I was so mad I didn't get a chance to take a pic but I'm sure one day I will!!! Can't wait until you come back I'm there!!!!
I love 2 Chainz and went to see him last year as well as this one, I just have to say something about the fact that his "appearance" is very short literally could change his name to "2 Songz", after people enter a venue at 10pm and never even see him at all until 1:30am which turns out to be for about 10 minutes! Reddick! It's sad to do that to your loyal fans "TRU"
I saw 2 chainz at the Made in America festival 2013. It was my first time seeing and not being a huge fan, I was still really entertained. He was able to hype the crowd up and they were made up of very mixed demographic. Lots of dancing and weed smoking was going on. He is just a crazy person haha.
That shit was hype asl for 2 chainz and Dej loaf and tickets were cheap for front row . Definitely enjoyed my night with all my buddies. And the car show outside was amazing
