The five-song release is heralded as a return to form for 2 Chainz, an album that recalls the street-flavored rap on which he originally made his name. "It has been a minute since the release of my album B.O.A.T.S. II: Me Time and I wanted to give something special to my fans while I record my follow up album," the man born Tauheed Epps said in a statement. "This is a taste of what is to come, and is most importantly, for them."

A trailer accompanying the release finds the rapper among drug imagery; the term "freebase" can refer to the smoking of cocaine or heroin in its free base form.
