2 Chainz has done quite a few guest features over the past year. The Atlanta hip hop star says that he took that approach to make sure his name stayed out there; he wanted to be affiliated with as many track as he could.

“My whole theory behind doing guest features was to remain hot in the streets,” he explained to CBS Local. ”Actually being a part of everyone’s google. When you google them, my name would pop up."

“The Justin Bieber verse was something I could do,” he noted. “The challenge was doing a clean witty verse without cursing, and to know the fan base and the crowd I was catering to. It was fun. I would love to do more records like that.”

“Now it’s about doing features that matter or can help catapult my campaign or doesn’t make sense any more,” he added. “A feature that’s worth me doing would be something that’s outside my genre, something outside my comfort level, outside my box. Pop rock, R&B. Something that’s not a normal 16 [lines] that I feel like I can do ion my sleep.”
