The man now known as 2chainz, and 1/2 of Playaz Circle released his highly anticipated mixtape “TrueREALigion” featuring himself, DJ Drama, and a slew of guest appearances. I took the time to run over to Livemixtapes and check it out. I have been listening to a lot of his last mixtape/collective and expected a lot going into this.
First, the tracklisting:
1. Intro
2. Got One [Prod. By Mike Will]
3. Undastatement [Prod. By Lex Luger & Southside]
4. Turn Up (Feat. Cap 1) [Prod. By Drumma Boy]
5. Riot [Prod. By DJ Spinz]

8. Spend It (Feat. T.I.) [Prod. By Drumma Boy]

12. Addicted To Rubberbands (Feat. J Hard) [Prod. By Drumma Boy]
13. Money Makin’ Mission [Prod. By Lex Luger]

19. Kesha [Prod. By Chophouze]
I think the mixtape was ok. A number of features took away a little of the spotlight from 2 Chainz’ natural charisma. The beats are all knocking, and the material is more of what you love to hear. Big Sean drops a hilarious verse on K.O. T.I. gets back in touch with T.I.P. the hustler and drops a near classic verse on ‘Spend It’ and Kreayshawn drops an actual decent verse on murder.
