In this special on-the-road episode of Club Shay Shay, Shannon Sharpe hits the streets of Atlanta for an exclusive day in the life with none other than hip hop icon, entrepreneur, and proud ATL native — 2 Chainz. From the gym to the garage, and even his award-winning restaurant, we get an intimate look at the grind and mindset that power the Grammy-winning artist and part-owner of the Atlanta Hawks’ G-League team.

Known for his distinctive style, sharp business acumen, and undeniable influence in pop culture, 2 Chainz proves he’s more than just a rapper — he’s a unifying force, a father, a husband, and a man of the people.

Tune in as 2 Chainz breaks down his intense workouts, explaining the difference between habit and hard work and how he stays sharp physically and mentally. Then, get a tour of his prized classic cars, including a ’72 Chevelle, a custom alligator-interior ride, and a sentimental Chevy truck reimagined for his late father, each with its own story — from horsepower to photo ops with Lil Wayne and plans for Barrett-Jackson.

Dive deep into the studio grind with 2 Chainz’s creative process, where convenience rules and freestyling captures the moment’s energy. He shares stories about his early connections with Ludacris, Lil Wayne, and how they shaped his artistry and business sense. From turning down a private jet invitation with Jermaine Dupri due to loyalty, to gifting Wayne red Gucci boots, his journey reveals lessons in trust, integrity, and hustle.

2 Chainz also talks candidly about business advice for artists, emphasizing passion over trendy passive income. He calls himself a “property hoarder,” revealing savvy real estate strategies that balance impulsive purchases with smart investments. His philosophy extends to forgiveness after a theft at his nail salon and how social media changes transparency. 

He recalls his time being loosely affiliated with Kanye West’s G.O.O.D. Music and how Baby (from Cash Money) inspired him to start charging for features. Despite that, he maintains a strong work ethic, often turning around feature requests in a single day to demonstrate professionalism.

Hear 2 Chainz reflect on his youth in College Park, his rough encounters with the law, and how basketball saved him through tough times, even as he faced setbacks in college sports. His stories of loyalty, family, and love are deeply personal—from proposing to his wife on a big stage to balancing fame with fatherhood.

They discuss his work with Eminem, Drake, and the competitive studio environment where legends push each other to greatness. 2 Chainz shares insights on ghostwriting, sampling, and the importance of hearing the full song before clearing samples.

Get an insider look at his establishments, a glimpse into his life as a husband and father who values humor, support, and real connection. 

The episode ends with reflections on Atlanta’s music scene, strip club culture as a music incubator, filmmaking ambitions, and lasting friendships with Atlanta legends.

This episode is a masterclass in authenticity, hustle, and legacy —from the mind of one of hip hop’s most respected voices.
