"Of course I'm workin' wit my Drumma Boys, my C-Notes, my Lex Lugers, my Mike Wills, plus this new generation, the new people that I'm working with as well. It's a well-put together project.

Drumma Boy Praises 2 Chainz

Producer Drumma Boy has called 2 Chainz (aka Tity Boi) one of the most underrated rappers in the game. Drumma told SOHH that he's worked with the rapper enough to still be impressed with his methodology.

"I'm most impressed by his punchlines and [that fact] that he doesn't even write," Drumma Boy said. "He goes into the booth for 20 minutes and then he hears the beat. In the booth, he starts putting the words together and when you start listening to the things he's saying and the punchlines he's coming up with, it's just classic."

Really, Drumma Boy? 'Classic?'

If you say so.
