2 Chainz’s debut album dropped less than a year ago, and now the “I’m Different” rapper is preparing for a follow-up.

Speaking with MTV News while on the set of B.o.B.’s “Headband,” the rapper revealed his plans to release the still-untitled album on September 10 – two days before his birthday. He said: "We should all celebrate the week of the 10th man, I'm just really... adding gasoline or adding steroids to what I was already doing as far as locking own the club, locking down the streets. Just really giving it to you from my heart man and also enjoying life, enjoying getting this paper. You feel me?"[…] Read more »

According to statements from Sting’s publicist, the album drops on September 24, 2013, but what’s unique about it is, the songs are taken from a musical Sting has had in the works.
