The album cover embodies Wayne’s presence on the album, it’s 2 Chainz face but covered with Wayne’s tattoo and piercings. The title, ColleGrove, represents Atlanta’s College Park and New Orleans’ Hollygrove, where each rapper was raised. (Well, if you ask the label, it’s a 2 Chainz album that features Lil Wayne on a bunch of songs, not a 'Lil Wayne' album, the kind of legal loophole that uses the logic of a third grader, somewhere between ridiculous and genius.) For once, the promise of a collaboration album with Wayne was kept.

But to my surprise, that’s not what happened. With Tha Carter V in the courtroom, Cash Money isn’t letting their imprisoned songbird sing for anyone but them. Awaiting the inevitable label interference that would push the project back into Neveruary 32nd. A few years ago, when 2 Chainz hinted that he and Weezy would be doing a project together, it was easy to imagine the album would sit on the shelf between Detox and I Can’t Feel My Face. It happened with Juelz it happened with T-Pain it happened with Drake it’s a surprise that Wayne and Birdman actually put out a joint album. When Wayne finds chemistry with another rapper, it usually leads to a massive amount of music and occasionally the promise of an album. Features were done in bulk, he has more artists signed to him than the New Orleans Saints have players, and rappers orbit him like the Earth does the sun. However, you respond, just enjoy the pleasant surprise in the hip-hop world on Thursday night.Relationships have always been a big part of Wayne's success. He came into the rap game in a group and never lost his willingness to collaborate. Now sit back and relax or get hype and wile out over this new music.

With this new release of ColleGrove, fans of both artists are definitely looking at how they can get their ears on it as soon as possible.

While this isn’t his album, it’s pretty damn close. However, it’s quite curious to see Lil Wayne going in on a joint effort-even with someone he’s close with-considering that he’s maintained largely that he’s not releasing another album. Put those together and naturally you get ColleGrove.Īnytime that 2 Chainz released new music, it’s a big deal in the hip-hop world considering the rapper’s notoriety and fame in the music world. 2 Chainz famously is from and reps College Park, GA while Lil Wayne comes from the Hollygrove sector of New Orleans, LA. The title it’s self is obviously enormously clever for a collaboration effort between 2 Chainz and Lil Wayne. Next: Listen to Kendrick Lamar's Surprise New Album
