Georgia rapper 2 Chainz seemingly came out of nowhere last year to take his place among today’s most successful hip-hop artists. In fact, MTV placed him at No. 2 on its list of the Hottest MCs in the Game, due to his impressive live performances, creative style, personal appeal, self-assurance, and ability to speak to the masses.

2 Chainz shined on cameos on Nicki Minaj’s ‘Beez in the Trap’ and the G.O.O.D. Music track ‘Mercy.’ His own album ‘Based on a T.R.U. Story’ debuted at No. 1 in August, and produced the hits ‘No Lie’ with Drake and ‘Birthday Song’ with Kanye West.

The rapper won Soul Train and BET Hip-Hop Awards, earned Grammy nominations, and captured Source magazine’s Man of the Year title. He even made a cameo on the sitcom ‘2 Broke Girls,’ which speaks to his universal appeal.
