    Chainz is someone who did not have a very easy childhood because his father mostly remained in prison, and therefore, his mother raised him. He got his education from the North Clayton High School even though he was an excellent student still he used to sell drugs in his school. He also went to Alabama State University for higher education, but later on, he shifted to the Virginia State University.

    Rap Career

    Chainz started his career as a rapper along with his close childhood friend, and they formed a hip hop band named “Playaz Circle.” Chainz and his friend released their first album “Supply & Demand,” and due to lack of resources, the album did not have any marketing and hence resulted in no success.

    Chainz did not lose his sight from greatness and launched another album later on by the title of “T.R.U.E. The story” and this was a studio album. Even though it was his debut album, still it was so good that it topped the U.S Billboard 200. In the first week, his album sold 147K copies.
