![]() ![]() ![]() What do you see as your second chance?Ģ Chainz: I'm just about second opportunity, period, in life. You've talked a little bit about the dual meaning embedded in your name-that 2 Chainz also means second chance. ![]() ![]() A little smoke, a little ESPN, loud music and a lot of good vibes. We're in the studio, we trying to get it in, we trying to prosper. RO: What does a boy's night look like for you?Ģ Chainz: Boy's night is probably every night for me. RO: Do a lot of people still call you Tity Boi? RO: What do your closest friends call you? RO: How funny-I was singing Mariah Carey in the shower last night too.Ģ Chainz: She was at two different places at one time! Mariah Carey pops up, for sure.Ģ Chainz: She was singing last night by the tree. I just be chillin'.Ģ Chainz: Yeah, my raps. You know, "Trust in me…" Stuff like that. RO: Another very important question: What do you sing in the shower?Ģ Chainz: What do I sing in the shower? Nobody ever asked me that. I hadn't really thought that much about it, I just feel like I should be doing something more with my time: learning. I don't like history, but I don't know I'll figure it out. It would be something that would just add to it-probably some kind of class I could into my raps. I don't want nothing to take away from what I'm doing daily. I know it has nothing to do with this interview, but I felt like I hadn't learned anything in a while.Ģ Chainz: Probably something business, something I could trade or try to use. RO: And second in your class, just to top it all off.Ģ Chainz: I'm kinda smart, a little bit. RO: I heard that you were voted best dressed in high school.

Who are your favorite designers?Ģ Chainz: Balmain, Fendi, KTZ, Skingraft-a lot of different brands. And I see you're wearing a Chanel one today. Romy Oltuski: This is my own chain, but it doesn't really measure up to yours.Ģ Chainz: It's cute! It's personal.

We caught up with the multi-hyphenate at the line's launch party about going back to college, his love of herb, and his life's theme song (spoiler alert: it's "I'm Different"). Now, in addition to a tentative 2016 mayoral run in his hometown of College Park, Georgia, Chainz is adding designer to his compendium of titles, having teamed up with PRPS for a denim capsule collection late last year. Before that, he graduated second in his class and-something he's no less proud of-was named best dressed in his graduating year (" And most popular," Epps interjects). Epps had a slow to rise to fame in the hip hop world, unlike his longtime friends and early collaborators Ludacris and Lil Wayne, but juggled a number of prospects on his way to Top 40, most prominently a basketball scholarship to Alabama State. Tauheed Epps, more commonly known as 2 Chainz (and before the rapper's family friendly transformation in 2011, Tity Boi), really is, as he proclaims, different. ![]()
