2 chainz

Rapper 2 Chainz is having the worst week ever. First, a member of his entourage gets robbed in San Francisco earlier this week. Then, on Tuesday (June 11), he gets busted for weed possession at Los Angeles' LAX airport.

2 Chainz was reportedly involved in a robbery this weekend in broad daylight.

Pharrell is known for his eclectic musical style, but even he was able to pick up a few pointers from 2 Chainz. Skateboard P recently spoke to MTV about getting in the studio with the Def Jam signee for 'Feds Watching.'

After debuting this song at Hot 97's Summer Jam concert Sunday (June 2), 2 Chainz releases his new single, 'Feds Watching,' featuring Pharrell Williams.

Bensen, Stabler, Fin and 2 Chainz? If you recognize that one of these things is not like the others, congratulations, not only are you a big 'Law & Order: SVU,' fan, but you have excellent deduction skills!

Rapper Kendrick Lamar has been named the Hottest MC of 2013 by MTV's hip-hop brain trust. Coming in at No. 2, predictably, was 2 Chainz. Reactions to the list have been mixed -- some disagreed, while others were humbled.

If you thought Psy's 'Gangnam Style' song was done, think again. The Korean pop star's worldwide smash is being extended by way of a Diplo remix featuring rappers 2 Chainz and Tyga.

Just when you thought the 'All Gold Everything' viral wave had subsided, Trinidad James hits us again with the video for the remix, which features Atlanta rhyme-spitters T.I., Young Jeezy and 2 Chainz.

So, rapper 2 Chainz was arrested for allegedly possessing weed, and then he posed with two Maryland State Police Officers. Now the question is---who asked for the picture to be taken?

Rapper 2 Chainz got bagged by two broke girls Monday night. No, this is not a gossip story. The Atlanta rapper made his acting debut on CBS's comedy show, '2 Broke Girls.'

'All Gold Everything,' the song that has creeped its way into the new year after Trinidad James' debuted the track in 2012, is pretty inescapable. French Montana most recently crafted a remix to the track and now the effort gets the official southern touch by the likes of T.I., Young Jeezy and 2 Chainz.

Producer extraordinaire Diplo recently took a spontaneous trip to Atlanta to collaborate with an emcee who made a memorable mark in 2012.

On New Year's Eve (and again on New Year's Day) we aired our annual Hot 107.9 Year End Countdown, showcasing the 25 biggest songs that we played on Hot 107.9 in 2012. By the time we finished putting the list together, we all agreed that these were definitely the 25 songs that "defined" us as a station in 2012.

2012 was a year that introduced us to a lot of brand new artists, and gave a lot of others who have been in the game for a minute, their proper time to shine. From the underground world of hip-hop, to the mainstream and country, our ears got a lot of great music from a slew of musical talent...

Our friends from 2-Cent out of New Orleans have delivered once again on their annual Christmas hip-hop parody. This year they decided to give us a taste of the past, present and the potential future of hip-hop in their 2012 Christmas parody video.

Rapper 2 Chainz is certainly different. In his new video for 'I'm Different,' things are not what they appear to be initially.

Miley Cyrus has definitely come a long way from 'Hannah Montana' - and given our seemingly microscopic concern and criticism things like Miley's weight, hair, and her ummm.. smoking habits, she's chugging along pretty fine. Last month, Miley celebrated her 20th birthday with a bootylicious celebration, and the pics are now beginning to surface!

The laws of pop physics state that what goes up must come down -- which means that Psy can expect one heck of a comedown after the massive success of the worldwide novelty hit 'Gangnam Style.' But that doesn't mean he's just sitting around waiting for everyone to get sick of his song.

In 2012, no rapper was more prolific than 2 Chainz. This year alone, the Atlanta rapper made guest appearances on over 40 songs. Wow! So it's only right that Source magazine crowns him "Man of the Year" for their annual year-end issue.

If you missed 2 Chainz when he was on tour this past summer, you have another shot to see him this fall. The Atlanta rapper is set to hit the road on the second leg of his 'Based on a T.R.U. Story' tour in November.
