On overcoming the trap lifestyle he endured in Atlanta before making it big in the music industry, Chainz shared:

"Sometimes it's hard to believe some of the things I did, honestly. That's how different I am than me when I was in my 20's. That's why it's kinda hard for me to preach to somebody younger than me too. 'Cause you know I stole cars, sold drugs. I did a lot of the things. I just didn't have a rap career to talk about it at the time. And I did a lot of those things to people I love. So I deal with those kinds of things. I wouldn't call them demons, but I deal with that."

On working with late friend and fashion designer, Virgil Abloh, who passed away last year, the "I'm Different" rapper shared:

"It was a conversation that I had with the late Virgil Abloh doing Rap Or Go To The League where this idea [of a shoebox on the cover] came from. It's really unique that he's no longer here. And it's also unique that this is ten years separated from Based On A True Story, which was my first album, which Virgil actually created. I'm getting so much good feedback, I just wish he was around, cause it just feels like a full circle moment."

2 Chainz also dished on his new deal with Krystals, his last album with Def Jam and much more. Catch Dope Don't Sell Itself streaming now.
