It's finally here! Lil Wayne and 2 Chainz kicked off the weekend by dropping their highly anticipated joint project, Collegrove, at midnight (Friday, March 4). The music is currently available for purchase on iTunes or stream it here for free via Spotify.
The new collaborative venture features 13 tracks, mostly spearheaded by the 38-year-old Georgia native. Wayne assists him on eight tracks, including "Rolls Royce Weather Everyday" which they debuted on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and "Gotta Lotta," which the two debuted on Beats 1 Radio a day before premiering the full project.
Before ColleGrove was made available for your streaming pleasure, DJ Khaled used his iconic platform Snapchat to tease fans with snippets of a few tracks. On Wednesday (March 2) night, Khaled posted a string of previews, playing contributions from the 33-year-old Louisiana native only.

Earlier this week, Kanye West revealed the cover art and release date for the project. Despite releasing last minute details, information regarding his involvement (if any) with ColleGrove still remains a mystery. There is a chance that producer credits will be made public in the future.
The closest bit of new information regarding the project came last November, when the "I'm Different" rapper spoke on a Rap Radar podcast. "I've got ColleGrove, that I'm working on," 2 Chainz told Rap Radar. "That's the me and Wayne project. That will be out, probably sooner than people think."
Wayne and 2 Chainz have collaborated on several tracks in the past, including "Back on the Bullshyt" from 2016's Felt Like Cappin mixtape, "Days and Days" from 2013's I Am Not a Human Being II, "Yuck!" from 2012's Based on a T.R.U. Story, and more.
