SUMMARY 2 Chainz & Lil Wayne's latest joint album "ColleGrove" hit Itunes last Friday and it spurred up a lot of debate, was this the virtue Lil Wayne fan's wanted? Did this collab live up to the hype? Well here is out thoughts on the project. Since the start of their careers, Tity and Tunechi have been collabing on many hot tracks like "Yuck!" "Rich As F*ck" and "Days and Days." so clearly the announcement of "ColleGrove" got everyone hype. The album listed as 2 Chainz solo album but has Wayne appear on 8/13 tracks turned out to be the return the people wanted from both emcees. Starting right off the back on the intro song "Dedication" the collaborators exchange verses in a much more story-teller tone. Tity explains his come up and Wayne's relevance in his success. Wayne debuts with some bars in "Smell Like Money" which is one of the more thought out tracks on the album. He delivers the same pace tone as in some of his older tracks like "Sorry For The Weight 2," with some sexual hints until he loosened into a groove. Backed by many top hit banger producers, Southside, Metro Boomin, Mike Will, Zaytoven, FKi, London On The Track, and TM88 Tity and Wayne were able to deliver a killer track "Gotta Lotta" which is definitely got some bars. sampled from Scatman's "I'm A Scatman" Wayne turned an old funk beat into a modern hip-hop rap chorus about his favorite thing, weed. They both spit about the party lifestyle over a creative entendres that will make your sub woofer go crazy. Moving down list we come across some more mediocre tracks like "100 Joints" and "Rolls Royce Weather Everyday" which have a creative and trippy beat. The project wraps up with the mainstream hit "Watch Out" a definite hard hitting beat which is a solo track that 2 Chainz seemed to tack on the end of the project to wrap things up. Joint projects are definitely a hard thing to pull off especially with such diverse voices. Its al in the chemistry between the duo and Tity and Tunechi seem to have just that. overall they delivered, "ColleGrove" is a must listen and will definitely be on rotation until 2017.	6.3 OVERALL SCORE
