2 Chainz Honors His ‘Quarantine Thick’ Partner On His New Single With Mulatto
The single arrives as 2 Chainz prepares to release his delayed sixth album, ‘So Help Me God.’ …
For the first time in his career, 2 Chainz is preparing to release an album for the second straight year. The Atlanta legend promised his So Help Me God album would arrive in September, but a sample clearance issue caused the album to get pushed back a month. However, October came and went and there was no sign of the new album. While a new release date for So Help Me God remains up in their air, it appears 2 Chainz has kicked off the rollout of the album with his new single, “Quarantine Thick” with Mulatto.
Standing as the first track between the two Atlanta natives, 2 Chainz and Mulatto celebrate the women who gained a bit of weight since the quarantine started more than six months ago. Released with a matching visual, the ATL rappers take over a mansion to hold a party that is mostly attended by women and features a high amount of sugary sweets and savory desserts. In the song, the “No Lie” rapper understands that keeping up with one’s gym routine is next to impossible when they’ve been closed due to coronavirus concerns. Mulatto arrives later in the track to provide a verse of her own that is filled with boastful remarks and she plays off the role of the quarantine thick woman.
The song comes after 2 Chainz publically endorsed Democratic presidential candidates Joe Biden and Kamala Harris with a performance of “I’m Different.” The rapper also joined Kanye West for a remix of his “Nah Nah Nah” track with DaBaby. Mulatto, on the other hand, is having a phenomenal year thanks to her Queen Of Da Souf project. She recently dropped a video for “On God” and linked with City Girls for another visual effort, this time for their “In N Out” track.
You can give the song a listen in the video above.

Ellis B. unveils an effortless groove on latest release “So Smooth”
Ellis B. tripped out on So Smooth with a groove for dancing, smoking, and just vibing. It’s a record built like a hip-hop song, but with a chill, driven feel, catchy lyrics paired with an experienced perspective. From the opening attitude to the people it talks to, the song feels like one for hustlers and smokers looking for something with an easygoing edge.
The lyrics bring that perspective to the fore, “This is for the hustlers, This is for the smokers too, This is so smooth.” It’s confidently simple, and the groove moves the track forward, without pushing the moment. Ellis B. also goes introspective, rapping about growth and perseverance: “I pray my blessings renew, making smooth shit like this is what I’m destined to do.”
That feeling of experience continues with the reflection, “I learn my lessons from losing, but that remains to be proven.” Underneath its chill surface, it builds on the chillness of “So Smooth.” It connects the song’s chill with a resolve to keep moving forward. Ellis B has a title track that fits the bill, with groove, confidence, experience, and an easy sense of movement.

Murph Law puts survival behind the hustle on latest release “Do It For The Money”
Murph Law has released “Do It For The Money,” a hard-hitting track about sacrifice, ambition, and the reality of chasing success when broke is not an option. The track features on his upcoming album, MONOLITH. It connects the daily grind to bigger themes, serving as a reaction against oppressive systems and establishments that can hold people back from reaching their potential.
The boom bap drums and aggressive rock guitar emphasize the message. That mix feeds the hunger that runs through the song, the kind that hits home with late nites and long shifts and the hard work of trying to build something real. This is the soundtrack for the everyday hustler; it’s about the practical realities behind dreams, not success as a breeze.
“Do It For The Money” distinguishes chasing money from chasing a better life. It is survival mode, the knowledge that you require the means to chase your dreams. With MONOLITH on the horizon, Murph Law uses this record to showcase the pressure, drive, and sacrifice of the hustle, creating a track built for anyone looking to build a path forward.
