In a recent Interview with XXL 2 Chainz confirms signing to Def jam and speaks on a few other things.
The Atlanta spitter also discusses his first New York City headlining show, putting two albums out in a year’s time and leaving Ludacris’ DTP label…
After numerous rumors about his new label deal have been circulating on the net, 2 Chainz indirectly confirmed to XXL that he is indeed signed to Def Jam Recordings.
While the Atlanta rhymeslinger initially played dumb, answering, “What deal? Next question, let’s go,” when asked about the rumored venture, he eventually told XXL that he is no longer an artist signed to Ludacris via his DTP label, but now the two are label mates instead.
“It’s the Real University, Two Gun Gang, Street Executives. It’s not DTP no more,” he says. “I’m actually behind [Ludacris], he’s still my homie. I just took another route as far as running my own company and bossing up. But on the other hand, I’m still working with him. He has an album coming out this year, as well. Matter of fact, we are label mates, now, which is crazy. So, yeah, that’ll be cool. I’m looking forward to that.”
Chainz also explained his nod to Bay-area rapper Too Short, who he references on the Rick Ross song “fu*k ‘Em,” off his Rich Forever mixtape.
“A lot of people ask where the line came from, a line in which I stated my father figure growing up was Too Short,” he begins. “Too Short end up calling me probably two weeks after it dropped. I been a fan of Too Short ever since I could remember. I actually remember paying someone to go to the store and buy the CD for me because I wasn’t old enough to purchase it. It just feels good for it to come all the way back around
