ColleGrove

ColleGrove is the third studio album by American hip hop recording artist 2 Chainz. It was released on March 4, 2016, by Def Jam Recordings. Although this project was initially a collaborative album between 2 Chainz and fellow American rapper Lil Wayne, due to record label issues, only Chainz is credited as the primary artist. The album includes production from several high-profile record producers; including Mike Will Made It, TM88, Infamous, Zaytoven, Lil' C, Metro Boomin, Ben Billion$ and London on da Track, among others.
ColleGrove was initially a duet album between Southern hip hop recording artists 2 Chainz and Lil Wayne, however, because of label issues, which has prevented Wayne 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, the album does not credit Wayne as a primary artist. 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. Instead, Wayne appeared as a featured artist, courtesy of Cash Money Records, which means that the project would not count towards Wayne's contractual obligation with Cash Money Records.
The album's title is a portmanteau of Wayne and Chainz' respective hometowns. 2 Chainz is from College Park, Georgia, while Wayne hails from Hollygrove, a neighborhood in New Orleans, Louisiana. On December 28, 2015, in a 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. Wayne has always been one of my favorite rappers. We’re just doing some mixing and trying to grind up. Just know that ColleGrove is coming very soon, and it’s going to be filled with entertainment bars, great sounds, great vibes."
