Playaz Circle was an Americanhip hop duo composed of rappers2 Chainz and Dolla Boy, both of whom originate fromCollege Park, Georgia. They signed withLudacris' record label,Disturbing tha Peace, an imprint ofDef Jam Recordings to release two albums:Supply & Demand (2007) andFlight 360: The Takeoff (2009). The former of which spawned the single "Duffle Bag Boy" (featuringLil Wayne), their only song to enter theBillboard Hot 100; it peaked at number 15 on the chart.
The duo was formed in 1997 by childhood friends Tity Boi (later known as2 Chainz) and Dolla Boy in College Park, Georgia.[1] The duo put all their money together to release their independent albumUnited We Stand, United We Fall. The album included features from Lil Fate,I-20 and others from theDisturbing tha Peace family. They were introduced toLudacris by Lil Fate and soon became good friends.
Shortly after, Dolla Boy wasincarcerated and Tity Boi was shot.[1] As a result, no material was released from the duo until 2007. In January 2010, Playaz Circle filmed a music video for their single "Big Dawg" featuring Lil Wayne and Birdman at Studio Space Atlanta.[citation needed]
In late 2012 or early 2013, their two studio albums were removed fromiTunes, most likely because of a copyright claim on the duo's name.[2] In December 2013, 2 Chainz confirmed that he had been recently working with Dolla Boy and that the duo was planning to release another project together,[3][needs update] although this has since failed to occur.
