Album Overview
Based on a T.R.U. Story is the debut solo studio album from 2 Chainz, originally released in 2012. The album helped establish the Atlanta rapper as a major solo artist, combining Southern hip-hop, trap production, outsized hooks, and a guest-heavy lineup across one of the defining mainstream rap releases of the early 2010s.
The album includes “No Lie,” “Birthday Song,” “I'm Different,” “I Luv Dem Strippers,” and “Ghetto Dreams,” with guest appearances from Lil Wayne, Drake, Kanye West, The-Dream, Nicki Minaj, Mike Posner, Scarface, John Legend, and more.
Released as part of Def Jam Recordings’ Hip Hop 50th Anniversary celebration, this limited-edition indie exclusive presses the album across two Fruit Punch colored vinyl LPs.
