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.
Pretty Girls is the most fulfilling 2 Chainz album to date. He switches on a dime from dark to hilarious to laid back, cooly landing punches while lounging at the yacht club’s VIP section.
