With many of us still having “Feds Watching”, and “Where You been?” heavy in rotation, 2 Chainz is already readying another single off his sophomore album B.O.A.T.S. II: #METime. On Wednesday, Chainz will be heading to New Orleans to shoot the music video for his Mannie Fresh-produced track “Used 2”, featuring members of the 90’s inspired hip-hop group who inspired the song.
In a recent interview with Rap-Up TV, Tity Two Necklace revealed that he is trying to capture the song’s New Orleans roots. He went on to say:
“We just tryna get that whole Hot Boys feel again,”. “I’m definitely tryna get Juvie there, a few other people if they come.” “You always want to put the landscaping behind the actual authenticity of the record.”
2 Chainz also talked about how producer Mannie Fresh crafted the beat using an iPad. “I remember saying, "OK badass, let me see you put it on this computer so I can rap on it," and he did, and now it’s a single.”
Watch the interview below.
