Pretty Girls Like Trap Music

2 Chainz is a hit maker, but Pretty Girls Like Trap Music shows there are deeper ambitions afoot. His production arm is strong—Mike WiLL Made-It, Murda Beatz and Mike Dean all put in work. He speaks his mind, dissing the government and “mumble-rap” while Nicki Minaj references her Remy Ma beef on “Realize”. Pharrell leaves his platinum imprint on “Bailan”. Then 2 Chainz puts his life story out there on the revelatory “Burglar Bars”—the realest song he’s ever cut.
