Biography
Tauheed Epps, professionally known as 2 Chainz, is an American rapper, songwriter, and actor born September 12, 1977. Raised in College Park, Georgia, he co-founded the Southern hip-hop duo Playaz Circle with Earl "Dolla Boy" Conyers, signed to Ludacris' Disturbing tha Peace label, and earned early recognition for their 2007 single "Duffle Bag Boy" featuring Lil Wayne. In February 2012, Epps signed a solo deal with Def Jam Recordings under Universal Music Group. His breakthrough came in April that year when a guest feature on Kanye West's "Mercy" marked his first Billboard Hot 100 entry as a solo artist, peaking at number 13. His debut studio album, Based on a T.R.U. Story, launched in 2012 and debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, propelled by the double platinum singles "No Lie" (with Drake) and "Birthday Song" (with Kanye West), though critical reception was mixed. His second album, B.O.A.T.S. II: Me Time (2013), improved critically behind the single "Feds Watching" with Pharrell Williams. Subsequent albums—ColleGrove (2016), Pretty Girls Like Trap Music (2017), Rap or Go to the League (2019), So Help Me God! (2020), Dope Don't Sell Itself (2022), and the collaborative Welcome 2 Collegrove with Lil Wayne (2023)—achieved moderate commercial success before he parted ways with Def Jam in 2024. A Virgo born in 1977, his life-path number 9 aligns with his evolution from group member to solo mogul and media personality [F1, birth]. As a rapper and actor, 2 Chainz has built a career across music, television, and luxury brand commentary. He won a Grammy Award from six nominations, including Best Rap Performance for his 2016 guest appearance on Chance the Rapper's "No Problem"; he also holds three BET Awards from 11 nominations and five BET Hip Hop Awards from 19 nominations.
