‘Dope Don’t Sell Itself’ will mark the seventh studio album from 2 Chainz, following 2020’s ‘So Help Me God!’. In 2021, 2 Chainz released ’T.R.U. REALigion’, a special anniversary edition of his 2012 album ‘Based on a T.R.U. Story’, followed by the mixtape ‘GOATED: 2 Chainz’ on December 17.
‘So Help Me God!’ received a three-star review from NME, with writer Carl Anka saying the project “showcases the good and bad of 2 Chainz: an artist laser focused on punchlines and bangers who can be inconsistent when he has to fill an entire album with both.”
2 Chainz’s latest album announcement comes a day after a new version of Papoose’s recent single ‘Thought I Was Gonna Stop’. The new remix, which originally featured only Lil Wayne, now includes verses from 2 Chainz, Busta Rhymes and Remy Ma.
In mid-December, 2 Chainz featured on the DJ Premier track ‘Mortgage Free’.
