2 Chainz played a supporting role on one of hip hop's biggest concerts this year when he went on the road with Drake for the Club Paradise Tour, but now the sought-after rapper is ready to strike out on his own. The ATL artist recently announced a solo tour to promote his anticipated new album, Based on a T.R.U. Story

Everything they’ve come to expect from me," 2 Chainz reportedly stated. "I’ve performed alongside some of the best in this business, but this time will be something special. This time it’s all me.”
