Kanye West has been full of surprises recently and he continues to keep fans on their toes. On Wednesday morning (March 2), he took to his personal Twitter account to reveal the cover art and release date for Lil Wayne and 2 Chainz upcoming joint project, ColleGrove. Expect to hear the new music they've been working on when the collaborative tunes drop this Friday (March 4).
The cover visuals feature a mix of the two rappers' faces. A profile image of the 38-year-old Georgia native with his eyes closed, covered in the Young Money CEO's infamous tattoos and piercings. From the "Fear God" writing on his eyelids to the piercing under his lips, everything is all there. West accompanied the tweet with this simple caption: "New project with 2 Chainz and Wayne dropping this Friday."
Mixing their lives seems to be a common theme with the project. The name of the project comes from their respective hometowns. 2 Chainz grew up in College Park, Georgia, while Weezy spent his childhood in Hollygrove, a neighborhood in New Orleans, Louisiana. Join the two areas together and ColleGrove was born.

The two have not been quiet about promoting their collaboration either. In February, Wayne and 2 Chainz hit the stage together to debut their new single "Rolls Royce Weather Everyday" on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. The song will be featured on it.
The "I Luv Dem Strippers" rapper teased information about the project on a Rap Radar podcast saying, "I've got ColleGrove, that I'm working on. That's the me and Wayne project. That will be out, probably sooner than people think." He also posted several images of Wayne to his Instagram, with #ColleGrove in the caption.
What still remains a mystery is West's involvement on the project. The super producer, who released his seventh studio album The Life of Pablo last month, did not drop any hints regarding his connection to it. A tracklist has yet to be revealed, so any news of guest appearances or production on the project will remain a mystery until it arrives.
