2 Chainz has signed with Nottingham Agency for PR representation, while continuing with IAG for touring and Street Execs as manager. For 2025, those roles support a slate of creative and business expansion.
Musically, Chainz released Life Is Beautiful in February 2025, a collaborative album with Larry June and The Alchemist, further diversifying his sound while leaning into introspective themes. In August, he also dropped the soundtrack for his motion picture Red Clay, pushing deeper into multimedia storytelling. His streaming presence remains strong—he tracks above 9 million monthly Spotify listeners, especially in core markets like Chicago, Los Angeles, Atlanta, London, and Dallas.
Beyond music, Chainz’s entrepreneur profile includes hospitality and prior cannabis investments. He co-founded Esco Restaurant & Tapas (originally branded “Escobar Restaurant & Tapas”) with Mychel “Snoop” Dillard. The brand has expanded through franchising, with locations in states such as Georgia, Ohio, Texas, and predictions for further growth after settling a naming lawsuit with Pablo Escobar’s estate. A Dallas location opened in late 2023, and an Atlanta “Esco Seafood” location also operates in Edgewood, Georgia.
On the cannabis side, Chainz launched GAS Cannabis Co. in 2018 as a premium brand, aiming to offer high-end flower, pre-rolls, and related products. In 2021, he partnered GAS with direct-to-consumer cannabis technology platform CampNova to enhance delivery and sourcing infrastructure.
