Larry June & 2 Chainz

Larry June is a rapper from San Francisco, raised in the Hunters Point area, who built an audience through a long run of independent releases and a conversational, unhurried delivery. His verses mix real-estate and small-business talk with references to organic food and orange juice, and his 2023 collaboration with producer The Alchemist, The Great Escape, brought him a wider listenership.

2 Chainz, born Tauheed Epps in College Park, Georgia, first recorded as Tity Boi in the duo Playaz Circle before relaunching under his current name and releasing Based on a T.R.U. Story in 2012. The two rappers joined forces with The Alchemist for the 2024 album Life Is Beautiful, pairing June's low-key phrasing with 2 Chainz's punchline-driven style over the producer's soul-sample beats.
