Their November 17-released collaborative album, ‘Welcome 2 ColleGrove,’ may be on track to being next week’s top Hip-Hop debut on the Billboard 200, but the commercial and critical acclaim being showered on the project isn’t enough to make 2 Chainz and Lil Wayne rest on their laurels.

Having already given the video treatment to housed cuts ‘Long Story Short‘ and the Usher-assisted ‘Transparency,’ the duo followed by enlisting Benny The Butcher for fan favorite ‘Oprah & Gayle.’

 “Neck look like anime or cartoons, art to ‘em / I got the spikes on the Gucci, look like Bart to ‘em / Gimmie the Nikes, lemme add some Comme Des Garcons to ‘em,” raps Wayne in the Krispy, DJ Scoob Doo, and The Wizard-directed music video.

As Lil Wayne and 2 Chainz fans were getting acquainted with the Hip-Hop heavyweights’ November 17-released joint album, ‘Welcome 2 Collegrove,’ it became quickly apparent the Usher-assisted ‘Transparency‘ was one of the 21-song LP’s standout tracks.

Now, the Hitmaka-produced cut has been gifted the visual treatment.

“Don’t know what you’re really lookin’ for / Tell me if you need to / Tell me I’m the one you’re lookin’ for / Don’t wanna be a secret / Transparency, when you look at me,” Ush croons on the sizzling new bop.

Just a week after Hip-Hop heavyweights Meek Mill and Rick Ross knocked out the competition with their joint album, ‘Too Good To Be True,’ another pair of the genre’s titans – 2 Chainz and Lil Wayne – are coming to do the same with their duet LP ‘Welcome 2 Collegrove.’

Preceded by singles ‘Presha’ and ‘Long Story Short’ (as we reported here), ‘Collegrove’ marks a conceptual reunion for Wayne and Chainz and comes as the second installment of their collaborative album series of the same name.

A 21-track affair featuring the likes of Fabolous, Usher, 21 Savage, Rick Ross, Marsha Ambrosius, and many others, stream the highly anticipated effort inside courtesy of Apple Music and Spotify.

After sending their respective fan bases into a frenzy with the duet, ‘Presha,’ as well as the announcement of the ‘Welcome 2 Collegrove’ joint album, 2 Chainz and Lil Wayne are giving Hip-Hop heads yet another taste of the gems set to line the project ahead of its November 17 release.

The latest single, titled ‘Long Story Short,’ dropped Friday (November 10).

“I’m rocking, I’m swerving, I’m popping, detergent / Get money, it’s urgent, God bless her surgeon / I rub my hands, Birdman,” Chainz raps aboard the Juicy J, Mannie Fresh, and Big K.R.I.T.-produced cut.

At this point it’s safe to say Latto may be the hardest working woman in Hip-Hop.

Easily the genre’s most active female act, when not turning heads with endorsements for Just Eat UK, Halls, Burger King, Sprite, and others, the GRAMMY nominee (born Alyssa Stephens) has her fans – affectionately called #Jackpots – turning the pages of magazines like ‘Rolling Stone.’

Featured in the latter with Rap legend Snoop Dogg for the mag’s ‘Musicians on Musicians’ series in October, Stephens dished with the Doggfather about everything from their respective journeys to fame, their unique positions in the game (being a woman vs. being a more seasoned performer), and so much more.

Lil Wayne and 2 Chainz have done so many collaborations over their storied careers it only makes sense the two Rap superpowers would join forces for an album.

Before fans of both get their hands on the November 17-due joint effort, titled ‘Welcome 2 ColleGrove,’ they were given a taste of what’s to come via the set’s lead single ‘Presha‘ on Friday (October 20).

As if the teased tune arriving in full wasn’t enough, it was given its inaugural televised live treatment later that night when the Drench God and Tunechi tag teamed on ‘The Tonight Show.’

Did you miss the explosive showing when it first aired? No worries; we’ve got you covered.

Having delivered over a dozen collaborations over the last 10 years including ‘Bounce,’ ‘Gotta Lotta,’ ‘Money Maker,’ ‘No Problem,’ ‘Rich As F-ck,‘ and more, it only makes sense that 2 Chainz and Lil Wayne unite for a collaborative album.

Titled ‘ColleGrove 2,’ the conceptual follow-up to Chainz’ 2016 album ‘ColleGrove,’ serves as the latest taste from the forthcoming effort comes courtesy of the Bangladesh-produced ‘Presha.’

“More refills on me, you know we lit, lit / They gon’ run this back just like a pick-six / I done fell in love with a thick b-tch / I done fell in love with a rich b-tch,” raps Chainz on the bumping bop.

Saweetie may be still putting the finishing touches on her long-awaited debut album ‘Pretty B*tch Music,’ but it doesn’t mean she isn’t still pretty busy doing her thing on the music scene.

Proof of that comes courtesy of the Mustard-produced banger ‘In My Face,’ the latest offering from Mozzy’s forthcoming ‘Survivor’s Guilt’ album ahead of its July 22 release.

Also featuring fellow hitmaking emcees 2 Chainz and YG, the arrival of ‘Face’ is accompanied by a Rook & Joshua Valle-directed music video that sees its quartet of stars turn a party up to the ultimate next level.

With a bevy of booze, babes, and debauchery on deck, the stripper-filled clip is definitely not one for the kiddies.  See what we mean inside:

Tink has teamed with 2 Chainz for her titillating new single ‘Cater.’

Built on a sample of Destiny’s Child‘s revered ‘Cater 2 U,’ the flavorsome jam serves up a contemporary take on the much-loved track and ushers in a new sonic era for the 27-year-old Illinois native.

Gifted on many a front, most were introduced to Tink as a rapper.

And while she remains one of the most skilled femcees in the current climate, she flexes her gravitas as an R&B singer on her latest offering.

The cut finds the rising star cooing about “catering” to her man’s needs. Aptly, Tink’s real-life boyfriend – producer Hitmka – plays her love interest in the accompanying video.

Self-proclaimed “King of R&B” Jacquees may have been royally ridiculed earlier this month for delivering what many are deeming one of the worst national anthem performances in TV history, but now it appears he’s the one who’ll have the last laugh.

In response to a iMarkkeyz-produced viral remix of the singer’s unique rendition of the historic tune, ‘Quees has now turned the clip into a full-on song by switching up its content to convey the plea of a suitor looking to free his love interest from her unfulfilling relationship.

“I pledge allegiance to the game / I’m a player, no shame / You should f*ck wit’ a n*gga / You ain’t gotta ask no “wassup?” wit’ a n*gga
F*ck your boyfriend, know it’s up for the n*gga,” he croons on the 2 Chainz-assisted song.

Look inside to hear ‘Free’ and see how Jacquees is capitalizing on this moment.
