They played two new Welcome 2 ColleGrove tracks, "Long Story Short" and "Oprah and Gayle," giving listeners a taste of what's to come.

2 Chainz & Lil Wayne Discuss Their Upcoming Album
Lil Wayne spoke on working alongside 2 Chainz, claiming that their chemistry made creating the LP pretty seamless. “The way me and 2 Chainz work is it’s like water," he explained. "You know what I mean? Just like water. It just flows. So it wasn’t too much of a process other than getting songs cleared and stuff like that. Yeah."
“That’s a process nowadays. I agree. Yeah," 2 Chainz responded, revealing why he enjoys working with Lil Wayne so much. "I think the project we’ve been working on, I’ve been saying it for some time, we are constantly two artists that work every night, challenge each other. You know what I’m saying? Go against the grain, try to find production that doesn’t sound like other people and just try to stay in our own space. So I really… And I tell you this all the time, I really enjoy working with you. You know what I’m saying?” What do you think of Lil Wayne and 2 Chainz debuting two new tracks on Young Money Radio?
