2 Chainz announced today that he'll be releasing a new EP, Freebase, in time for summer. Due out May 5, the five-song effort will strictly feature street raps, Billboard reports.
"It has been a minute since the release of my album 'B.O.A.T.S. II: Me Time' and I wanted to give something special to my fans while I record my follow up album," 2 Chainz said in a press release. "This is a taste of what is to come, and is most importantly, for them."
Fans had the opportunity to submit cover artwork via social media (using #Freebase hashtag) for consideration. The winning Freebase cover features a photo of the late Richard Pryor decked Tity Boi's signature double necklaces, which ties into the EP's title. The late comedian lit himself after freebasing cocaine and consuming 151-proof rum during the filming 1980's movie Bustin' Loose.
The tracklist for the album has not yet been released, but you can view the trailer for Freebase below. Let us know what you think in the comments section.
