2 Chainz and Lil Wayne have finally unleashed their highly anticipated joint album, Welcome 2 Collegrove.
The project follows the 2016 ColleGrove album which was slated to be a collab offering. However, the project is credited to 2 Chainz alone due to Lil Wayne’s issues with his label, although Weezy features heavily throughout.
Collegrove is a portmanteau of 2 Chainz’s hometown, College Park, Georgia, and Lil Wayne’s hometown, Hollygrove, Louisiana.
The 21-track project clocks in at just under an hour and includes a star-studded cast of guest contributors. Features include appearances from the likes of 21 Savage, Usher, Rick Ross, Fabolous, Benny the Butcher, Marsha Ambrosius and Vory.

Fans have had a long wait for the album, which 2 Chainz and Lil Wayne teased in 2022. The duo was forced to postpone the release due to clearance issues.
“We’ve been working on it for some time, had a lot of clearance issues,” 2 Chainz told Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1. “But for the most part, we’re two hardworking individuals who go in the studio every night. So, I don’t think it was hard recording the music.”
“It just was a process of getting the music out to the people. I think me and him just have that chemistry. We enjoy working with each other a lot, and it’s a lot of respect there. And as I always say, still sharpen still. So, it’s always that little piece of anxiety of knowing that I got to this verse has to be better than the last one. I think it’s healthy. I think competition is healthy in any and everything that we do.”
