Early Life and Childhood

2 Chainz spent his childhood in his hometown, where he was always caught between being a good kid who was fulfilling his obligations, and growing up ‘on the streets’ where he was getting into all sorts of trouble. He went to North Clayton High School, and was actually one of the best pupils in his class. He started playing basketball for the school team, and became one of the best players too, however, that was the time when he was introduced to real ghetto and street life. He started using and dealing in marijuana, and when he was only 15 years old, he was arrested for carrying a large amount of cocaine. Nevertheless, he still had a scholarship to Alabama State University, where he continued to play basketball from 1995 to 1997, however, got into more trouble there, which he hasn’t spoken about, but had to transfer to Virginia State University, from which he graduated.

Career Beginnings

Speaking about his career, music was always his greatest passion, so he co-founded the hip hop duo Playaz Circle, alongside his friend Earl ‘Dolly Boy’ Conyers in 1997, and adopting the name ‘Tity Boi’. After the group released its debut independent album “United We Stand, United We Fall” in 2002, they were noticed by one of the most successful people in the industry at the time, Ludacris, who recorded several songs with the duo, including promoting their album on his own radio station.

Playaz Circle

The hip hop duo was soon signed by Ludacris’ Disturbing Tha Peace record label, which was widely popular around the globe, and through which they released their debut album “Supply & Demand” in October of 2007, with the hit single “Duffle Bag Boy” featuring Lil Wayne. The album peaked at No. 27 on the US Billboard 200 chart. Two years later out came their second studio album – “Flight 360: The Takeoff” – but in the following year Epps left to pursue a solo career.
