![]() The following year brought the name change and with it came the breakthrough, completing one of the more successful rebrands in rap history. By the time 2010's Trap-A-Velli 2 arrived, the rapper was a free agent, and it felt like he was campaigning to be a star, swaggering a bit bigger on record while carefully floating around an alternate moniker. Even then he was an expert at making basic rap colorful and comical (on "Stunt": "The feet on the whip, big like Jurassic Park/ The car tall, to get in you need a running start"). Still, it was easy to hear his talent working. Back then, as a signee of Ludacris' label, Disturbing Tha Peace, with one hit single to his credit (which was heavily indebted to its Lil Wayne feature), his boasts were discernibly smaller. When rapper 2 Chainz released Trap-A-Velli in 2009 he was still Tity Boi, the more prominent member of middling Atlanta duo Playaz Circle.
