2 Chainz And 42 Dugg Dish Out A ‘Million Dollars Worth Of Game’

At some point this month, 2 Chainz will release his seventh album Dope Don’t Sell Itself. The Atlanta native confirmed the news to begin the new year, and whichever day it’s set to arrive, it’s set to be a promising follow-up to his 2020 release So Help Me God. The release of Dope Don’t Sell Itself could also mark the end of an era for 2 Chainz as he previously announced that his next album would be his “last trap album.” It remains to be seen if that statement will hold true, but until then, we can enjoy the first offering from Dope Don’t Sell Itself.

2 Chainz recruits help from Detroit rapper 42 Dugg and production from LilJuMadeDaBeat for his latest single, “Million Dollars Worth Of Game.” The track finds 2 Chainz standing tall as a veteran in both the rap game and the streets. With that comes the knowledge and wisdom he’s attained over the years, which he dishes over the track while 42 Dugg handles the hook and delivers a verse of his own on the song. The track is also paired with a music video that finds 2 Chainz and 42 Dugg in a lavish mansion surrounded by a cast of beautiful women.

The track arrives after 2 Chainz teamed up with DJ Premier for “Mortgage Free” which he released last month. As for 42 Dugg, the collaboration comes after he connected with Lil Durk in a video for their “Free Ric” track.

You can press play on “Million Dollars Worth Of Game” in the video above.

42 Dugg is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.

42 Dugg And Lil Durk Pay Their Respects In A Flashy Video For ‘Free Ric’

At the end of August, Detroit native 42 Dugg shared the deluxe version of Free Dem Boyz, which he released earlier this year. Seven more songs were added to the record, with new features from Nardo Wick, Moneybagg Yo, and more. Lil Durk can also be found on the deluxe thanks to his appearance on “Free Ric.” Now, less than two months after the song’s release, Dugg calls on Durk to appear in a flashy video for the track, which finds the rappers showing off their large sums of money and expensive jewelry while delivering boastful raps as their respective crews stand behind them.

Free Dem Boyz, which also features Fivio Foreign, Roddy Ricch, EST Gee, Rylo Rodriguez, and Future, became Dugg’s high-charting album after it debuted at No. 8. The new video comes after Dugg shared ones for “Bestfriends,” Rose Gold,” “Turnest N**** In The City,” “Maybach,” and more.

As for Lil Durk, he just released his single “Pissed Me Off,” which comes as a response to unfortunate incidents that recently occurred in his life. He’s also going back to school to get his high school diploma.
