Just a month ago 2 Chainz made headlines when he blasted Ariana Grande for allegedly ripping off his ‘pink traphouse’ idea for her hit ‘7 Rings’ music video.  Apparently the two made up at the top of February as the Pop songstress invited him to feature on the remix to the song (click here to listen).

Now, she’s returned the favor by featuring on one of the many highly anticipated tunes found aboard his new album, ‘Rap or Go to the League’ (available now).  Joining the 41-year-old on the cut ‘Rule the World,’ the slow banger features a prominent sample of”Condor! (Theme)/I’ve Got You Where I Want You“(made famous by R&B singer Amerie‘s 2002 breakthrough single ‘Why Don’t We Fall In Love’).

After a 7 year wait, Trina is finally ready to unwrap her new album, which now has an official title – ‘The One.’

Armed with the momentum of single ‘Damn’ and current offering ‘If It Ain’t Me’ featuring K. Michelle, the Queen of Miami has set a date of arrival for the long anticipated LP.

Mark those calendars because September 8th 2017 is when the project will land in stores.

To further amplify buzz, the 38-year-old unveiled its cover – a throwback snap of herself (rocking a crown) as a youngster:

During a recent press run, Trina revealed that the album is executive produced by Rico Love and will feature the likes of Lil Wayne and 2 Chainz.

We’ve long loved what she serves up, so we’re more than ready for another helping.

Roll on September.

An aptly titled sequel to 2011’s ‘Sorry 4 The Wait’, the 17-track set sees the Hip-Hop force recreate some of Urban culture’s most notable numbers – including Beyonce and Jay Z‘s ‘Drunk In Love’ which he tackles with his girl Christina Milian.

Recently, That Grape Juice caught up with the super-producer whose first album ’10 Summers’ was released exclusively through Google Play and is now also available in-stores.

Join us after the jump where we quiz the hitmaker on his album and the reasoning behind its roll-out as well as his rise to the top of the charts, he also spills the beans on his work Jay-Z and Rita Ora and of course he updates us on his work with superstar Rihanna.
