Summary
Stephen Jackson sits down 1-on-1 with his real brother 2 Chainz for a wide-ranging Unplugged conversation covering hip-hop, fatherhood, basketball, and legacy. 2 Chainz opens up about his new memoir The Voice in Your Head Is God, finding hidden money and letters his late father left behind, and being a special guest on Lil Wayne's 20-year Carter Class of Tour this summer. He drops nostalgia on Duffel Bag Boyz with Wayne, pays homage to Dolla, and previews his upcoming album Players Only Live Once (POLO) featuring Mary J. Blige, Big Sean, Macy Gray, and T.I.
2 Chainz also goes deep on his son Halo's NBA mindset, the recent scouting trip to Kansas with the Hawks ownership to see AJ Dybantsa and Darryn Peterson, and why he believes the Spurs are winning the whole thing this year.
