I ka hoʻomaka ʻana o kāna ʻoihana rap flamboyant, ʻike ʻia ʻo ʻAmelika hip-hop artist Two Chains i nā mea he nui ma lalo o ka inoa inoa ʻo Tity Boi. Ua loaʻa i ka rapper kahi inoa maʻalahi mai kona mau mākua ma ke ʻano he kamaliʻi, ʻoiai ʻo ia wale nō ke keiki i loko o ka ʻohana a ua manaʻo ʻia ʻo ia ka mea ʻino loa.
ʻO ka wā kamaliʻi a me ka ʻōpio o Tawheed Epps
Ua hānau ʻia ʻo Tawheed Epps i loko o kahi ʻohana ʻAmelika maʻamau ma Kepakemapa 12, 1977 ma Virginia (USA). I kāna mau makahiki kula a ʻōpio ua makemake ʻo ia i ka pōʻaleʻa a ua lanakila ʻo ia.
ʻOiai ʻo ia i ka makahiki 15 ua paʻa ʻo ia e nā mākaʻi no ka loaʻa ʻana o nā lāʻau lapaʻau, ua puka maikaʻi ʻo ia mai ke Kulanui o Virginia.
I ka makahiki 22, me kāna hoa kula ʻo Earl Conyer (Dolla Boi), ua hoʻokumu ʻo ia i ka duo Playaz Circle.
Ua hoʻokuʻu pū nā hoaaloha i ka album United We Stand, United We Fall, mahalo i ka mea i kaulana loa nā mea hoʻokani ma ko lākou kūlanakauhale a ua ʻike ʻia kahi waihona punahele.
ʻAʻole hiki ke ʻike ʻia kēia ʻano e ka DJ Ludacris kaulana, nāna i lawe i ka duo i kāna lepili a hui pū me lākou no kekahi mau makahiki.
ʻO ia i loko o kēia mau makahiki i ʻike ai ka rapper i nā piʻi liʻiliʻi a me nā haʻahaʻa o kāna ʻoihana hip-hop, i hele pū ʻia me nā makahiki he nui o ka hana ʻole.
ʻO ka kaulana mua o ka mea pena
I ka hāʻule o 2007, ua hoʻokuʻu ka duo i kā lākou palapala inoa inoa mua, Supply & Demand, e hōʻike ana i ka Duffle Bag Boy hoʻokahi, i hana pū me ka Lil Wayne kaulana.
Ua kaulana koke ke mele me ka lehulehu. Ua hoʻokani ka duo i nā mele me Lil Wayne ma ka Bet Hip Hop Music Awards.
I kekahi mau makahiki ma hope mai, ua hoʻokuʻu ka hui ʻo Playaz Circle i ka hui hou aʻe, ʻo Flight 360: The Takeoff, ʻaʻole i lanakila ma mua o ka mua.
Hoʻopiʻi ka mea hoʻokani i ka lepili no ka "haʻole" o ka album, ʻaʻole i ʻae i ka hoʻolaha ʻana i kahi hoʻolaha kūʻokoʻa mai ka duet. No laila e hōʻemi ana i nā manawa kūʻai nui mai ka album.
Ma hope o ka "haʻole" o ka moʻolelo, ua hoʻoholo ka mea rapper e lawe i kāna ʻoihana i loko o kona mau lima ponoʻī a hōʻike i nā mea āpau i kona hiki. I ka makahiki 2010, ma hope o ka lohi ʻana o Ludacris, ua haʻalele ka rapper i ka lepili a hoʻomaka i kahi ʻoihana solo.
Ua hoʻololi pū ʻo ia i kona inoa iā 2 Chainz, consonant me ka English change - change, ma muli o ka hoʻouka mau ʻana o ka poʻe hoʻohewa i manaʻo i ka inoa mua i ka wahine maikaʻi.
Ua pilikia ʻo ia i ke kānāwai a ua paʻa pinepine ʻia ʻo ia e nā mākaʻi no ka loaʻa ʻana a me ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka mariuana. I ka huakaʻi no ke kākoʻo ʻana i ka album ʻelua, ua paʻa ke kaʻa kaʻaahi a ka mea pena no ka lawe ʻole ʻana i nā mea kaua, nā ʻōlelo kuhikuhi ʻole no nā lāʻau lapaʻau a me nā koena mariuana.
Ola kūʻokoʻa ʻElua kaulahao
Ma hope o ka hoʻololi ʻana ʻaʻole i kona inoa wale nō, akā ʻo kona ola mele pū kekahi, ua hoʻokuʻu ka mea hoʻokani i kahi mixtape 7-track TRU REALigion, i hoʻomaka i ka helu 58 ma ka pakuhi Billboard.
Ma hope o ka holomua holo, ua hoʻomaka ka rapper e hana pū me Kanye West и ʻO Nicki Minaj, ma hope iho ua lilo ia i mea kaulana loa.
Hoʻokuʻu ʻia o ka album mua
Ua hele pololei ka album kūʻokoʻa mua a me ka mele ʻo Baseona TRU Story i nā kūlana Billboard kiʻekiʻe. ʻO ia hana a me nā hoʻomaikaʻi ʻana ma Twitter mai Kanye West i hoʻokumu i kahi buzz ma ka Pūnaewele, i hoʻohui ʻia i ʻElua Chains i ʻoi aku ke kūʻai aku a kaulana.
No kāna album mua, ua koho ʻia ʻo Epps no 13 BET Hip Hop Awards, ʻo ia kekahi o kāna i lawe pū me ia.
Loaʻa i ke kūlana "Person of the Year" mai Source Magazine, i hui pū me Adidas, Beatsby Dr. Ua koho ʻia ʻo Dre no ka Best Album e ka Grammy Awards.
Ma hope o ka pau ʻana o ka huakaʻi, ua hoʻi ʻo Epps i ke keena e hoʻomaka i ka hana ma kāna moʻolelo lua. Ua mālama ʻo ia i ke keena me kāna hoa hana lōʻihi ʻo Dolla.
I ka manawa like me ka hana ma ka moʻolelo, ua komo ka rapper i ke kiʻi ʻana i nā ʻano kīwī ʻAmelika kaulana e like me Law & Order, Two Broke Girls.
2 Chainz a me Pharrell Williams
I Iune 2013, ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia ka promo single Feds Watching, kahi i hana pū ai ka mea mele Pharrell Williams. A ma ka lā 10 o Kepakemapa o ia makahiki hoʻokahi, ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia kāna mele mele BOATS II: Me Time.
Ua hoʻomaka koke ka moʻolelo ma ka helu 3 ma ka pakuhi Billboard ma muli o ka hui pū ʻana me nā mea mele kaulana e like me Fergie, Pusha T, Drake, Lil Wayne a me nā mea ʻē aʻe.
Hoʻokahi mahina ma hope o ka hoʻokuʻu ʻia ʻana o ka moʻolelo ʻelua, ua hoʻomaka ka rapper e hana ma kāna album ʻekolu. I ka Mei 2014, ua ʻike ʻia ka mini-album Free Base ma nā paepae kikohoʻe, i loaʻa no ka hoʻolohe manuahi a hoʻoiho. Ma ka diski, hiki iā ʻoe ke lohe i ka hana mai Asap Rocky, Rick Ross a me nā mea ʻē aʻe.
I kēlā makahiki hoʻokahi, ma kahi hālāwai ninaninau ma ka lekiō, ua ʻae ka rapper ʻaʻole ʻo ia i kākau i nā mele o ke mele, akā mālama ʻia i loko o kona poʻo. ʻO ka mea ʻoiaʻiʻo, loaʻa iā ia ke kākau lima ʻole calligraphic, ma ka hapa nui ʻaʻole maopopo iā ia ka mea i kākau ʻia.
I ka makahiki 2017, ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia ka haku mele ʻo Pretty Girls Like Trap Music. Ua hoʻokipa maikaʻi ʻia ka album e ka poʻe hoʻohewa, e wehewehe ana iā ia he hana "ʻelemakule". Ua hui pū nā mea pena kaulana me Epps ma kekahi mau mele: Nicki Minaj, Travis Scott, Swae Lee, Migos, Pharrell Williams a me nā mea ʻē aʻe.
2 Chainz i kēia lā
I kēia lā, hoʻomau ʻo Two Chains i ka hauʻoli i nā "fans" me kāna hana. Ma 2019, ua hoʻokuʻu ʻo ia i ka album Rapor Goto the League, i hoʻomaka i ka helu ʻehā ma ka Billboard 200. Ua loaʻa pū ka album i nā loiloi maikaʻi mai nā mea hoʻokani mele.
Eia kekahi, ke hana nei ka mea rapper i ka hana ma kāna studio ponoʻī ʻo The Real University (e hana ana i nā hoodies a me nā sweaters o kāna brand Dabbing Sweaters), e hele pū ana i nā pāʻani o ka hui basketball LA Lakers a hānai i ʻekolu keiki.
I Pepeluali 2022, ua hōʻike ka mea pena rap i ka pahele hou loa ʻo LP Dope Mai kūʻai iā ia iho. Hōʻike ʻia: Lil Baby, Lil Durk, Roddy Ricch, NBA Youngboy, 42 Dugg, Moneybagg Yo a me Swae Lee. Hoʻopili ʻia ka hōʻiliʻili e 11 mau mele ʻoluʻolu.
