Hookah dreams

Honestly, this video is stylish.

2 Chainz  and Drake’s recent collaboration is a refreshing dose of plus-sized models and walls of dripping paint. Shot in black and white, images of 2 Chainz  swaggin’ around in a pilot hat and Drake puffing a hookah have never seemed so proper.

As expected, this video is a splendid display of modern hip-hop fashion. 2 Chainz  rocks leather vests with designer snap-back hats and l ashy scarves, while Drake  stays fitted in tank tops and camo-cargos. Kanye would be proud?

Drake’s fellow Canadian Director X has been working with major artists like Justin Bieber,  Nelly Furtado and The Wanted this year. “No Lie” is another successful notch under his 2012 belt.

The popular track is 2 Chainz’s  first single off his upcoming album, “Based on a T.R.U. Story.” We’ve seen him “Beez in the Trap” with Nicki Minaj  and ride in a “Mercy” with the G.O.O.D. Music  crew, and now 2 Chainz will be releasing his first solo project under Def Jam on Aug. 14.
