Powerful rapper, Lil Wayne and 2 Chainz have officially announced the release date of their long-awaited collaborative masterpiece, “WELCOME 2 COLLEGROVE.” Set to hit the airwaves on November 17, this joint record marks the sequel to their 2016 project, ColleGrove, and is all set to captivate music lovers worldwide.
The album, dropping via Def Jam Recordings, is more than just a musical venture; it’s a fusion of two distinct hometowns. The title, a clever portmanteau, combines “College Park,” the birthplace of 2 Chainz in Georgia, and “Hollygrove,” the neighborhood in New Orleans that shaped Lil Wayne’s musical journey. This amalgamation of roots promises a unique sonic experience, blending the essence of two vibrant cities into one harmonious collection.
Anticipation has been building since last year when rumors about the album’s release began circulating online. 2 Chainz had hinted at a potential 2022 release, leaving fans eagerly waiting for this musical extravaganza. The wait is finally over, and come November 17, listeners can immerse themselves in the creative genius of these two iconic artists.
ColleGrove, the duo’s previous collaboration, made waves in March 2016, reaching remarkable heights on the music charts. Despite being technically categorized as 2 Chainz’s third studio album due to Lil Wayne‘s label complications at the time, it soared to No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100 and claimed the No. 2 spot on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums charts. The success of their earlier project has only heightened the excitement surrounding “WELCOME 2 COLLEGROVE.”
For a taste of what’s to come, you can already stream the single “Presha” on platforms like Spotify and Apple Music.
