In 2013, it was first rumored that both Lil Wayne and 2 Chainz released their single, titled "Twerk Season". Just know that ColleGrove is coming very soon, and it’s going to be filled with entertainment bars, great sounds, great vibes." Release and promotion We’re just doing some mixing and trying to grind up. Wayne has always been one of my favorite rappers. On December 28, 2015, in an interview with Forbes, 2 Chainz spoke on album, saying "As far as the ColleGrove project, I really feel like the music is tight and accessible. 2 Chainz is from College Park, Georgia, while Wayne hails from Hollygrove, a neighborhood in New Orleans, Louisiana.
The album's title is a portmanteau of 2 Chainz and Lil Wayne's respective hometowns. 2 Chainz would later refer to this album in several interviews as a "tribute" to Lil Wayne. Instead, Wayne appeared as a "featured artist", courtesy of Cash Money Records, which meant that the project would not count towards Wayne's contractual obligation with Cash Money Records. Although it could not be released in conjunction with their respective record labels, 2 Chainz took it upon himself to release the album as his latest solo project through Def Jam Recordings. ĬolleGrove was initially a duet album between Southern hip hop recording artists 2 Chainz and Lil Wayne, however, because of Wayne's label issues, which had prevented him from releasing collaborative efforts in the past, such as I Can't Feel My Face with Juelz Santana, Best of Young Worlds with Lloyd, He Rap, He Sing with T-Pain and more, this album does not credit Wayne as a primary artist. A sequel, ColleGrove 2 is set for release in 2021. ColleGrove received generally positive reviews from critics and it debuted at number four on the US Billboard 200 chart. The album includes production from several high-profile record producers such as Southside, Mike Will Made It, TM88, Infamous, Zaytoven, Lil' C, Metro Boomin, Ben Billions and London on da Track, among others. The album was originally a collaborative effort between 2 Chainz and fellow American rapper Lil Wayne, but due to his record label issues, only 2 Chainz was credited as the primary artist. It was released on March 4, 2016, by Def Jam Recordings. ColleGrove is the third studio album by American hip hop recording artist 2 Chainz.
