Chainz and Southside have a great chemistry that has been surprisingly unutilized outside of “Crack” and the 2011 mixtape track, “Undastatement.” One can only hope the two hit the studio again in the near future. 23) “Crack” (2012)Ģ Chainz’s 2012 song “Crack” lays out its thesis statement from the jump – “ Started from the trap, now I rap No matter where I’m at, I got crack.” Produced by 808 Mafia co-founder, Southside, “Crack” sets a nice street rap tone to his debut album, before hitting listeners over the head with all the radio hits. 2 Chainz raps, “ I bought my momma a crib before I got my own place Picked my pop us from prison and gave ‘em places to stay See I am handpicked by God, I defied all the odds I need a sign that say foreigns only in my garage.” “I Feel Like” stands as one of 2 Chainz’s strongest mixtape songs since becoming a mainstream name in hip-hop.

Meanwhile, 2 Chainz brings some bars, rapping, “ My ego is enormous like my crib in California If you ain’t got no heart, man you gonna need a donor ” later adding, “ Carbon copies get declined, I’m the pioneer, Beat that pussy up, I need riot gear.” Lastly, we hear from the oft-sultry, Jhene Aiko, who opts for a similar route to the one taken by Ty Dolla Sign. Ty Dolla Sign’s verse is incredibly basic, essentially just repeating, “ It’s a vibe,” while Trey Songz goes for a similar, yet more graphic direction. The third single off Pretty Girls Like Trap Music, “It’s a Vibe,” features three of R&B’s biggest hitters in Ty Dolla $ign, Trey Songz, and Jhene Aiko. Ty Dolla Sign, Trey Songz & Jhene Aiko (2017)
