The two reunite on a track that's a standout.

To help push his recent release Rap or Go to the League which dropped today, 2 Chainz performed on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon with Marsha Ambrosius by his side. The singer was one of many features that 2 Chainz had on his latest record, but a notable track on the album is his collaboration with fellow rapper Kendrick Lamar. These two artists worked together in the past on A$AP Rocky's "F**kin' Problems," and this time around they have a hot single that steps outside of the typical hip hop box.

On "Momma I Hit A Lick," the rappers switch up their flows and inflections to create a captivating song. Parts of the beat will remind you of being in high school, banging on cafeteria tables to create rhythms with your friends as someone attempts to spit a freestyle. Aside from the potential nostalgia, "Momma I Hit a Lick" is a standout on Rap or Go To the League that definitely demands attention.

Quotable Lyrics

I’m comin', baby, send the address
Progress, never digress (Never)
Your last one done passed the fly test (Test)
I eat rappers, no digest
