What hydration tips does 2Chainz share for travel?
All right, y'all, with spring coming up, a lot of us are starting to travel again, whether that's weekend trips, long flights, or just being outside more. And one thing that I've learned is staying hydrated makes a huge difference when you're on the go. And that's why I've been keeping that liquid IV with me. It's a hydration mode supplier that you mix with water and it helps you hydrate faster and more efficiently than water alone. Each stick has three times the electrolytes of leading sports drinks, plus vitamins like B3, B5, B6, B12, and vitamin C. And the best part, it's super easy. You just pour a stick into water, shake it up, and you're good to go. It's perfect for travel days, long flights, workouts, or just those days when you need a hydration boost.

Y'all hear me?
All right. True. All right. Well, the mic went on. So as he said, 12 certified platinum singles, two-time platinum album, seven Grammy nominations, one Grammy win, seven studio albums as a solo artist. Multiple businesses you own here in Atlanta. Philanthropist, a father, a husband. You got all your family in here.
Not all of them, but most of them.
Most of them. And two Grammys. Two?
Two. Two? Okay. Two Grammys for 2 Chainz? Because, see, I was on the Killer Mike album, and that album got a Grammy, so people who helped make the album. Okay. Yeah, so I just got to update.
Hey, you know what I'm saying? Update me. And, hopefully, New York Times bestselling author.
Yeah, let's put it out there.
Some of my questions is a little, they leave a lot of room to breathe, so you can answer. You can be as long winded as you want to be. Great book. Everybody read the book? Yeah, I went cover to cover in two days. Easy. Great read. It's one of those books that you can see as you read it. But I wanted to start off selfishly. One of my favorite albums is So Help Me God. You got some songs on there like 55 Times, South Side Hoes, They Wait For You To Die. And those themes kind of parlay into longer versions and some themes throughout this book. You talk about coming from a lineage of hustlers, both in business and in the street, so that allowed you to inherit some business acumen and business savvy, but also inherit some unfortunate circumstances, such as experiencing two drug raids before the age of 13.
What is it like to be in a situation where the walls have officially closed in, and what's some of the opposite feelings that you've experienced in business on a positive note?
Feeling like the walls closed in?
Well, in respect to the drug raids, like, they officially closed in.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, that's, I think you get, people say anxiety a lot now, but I think during that, maybe, I didn't know what that word was, but, you know, you get those heart palpitations, you get, you know, it's like a lot of yellin'. And it's yelling because I guess they're trying to shock you. It's like yelling, and it's a lot of force and a lot of chaos. Like it's just chaotic being in a home that's raided by the police. They come in. Yo, yo, yo, yo. Yo, yo, yo. Is this working? Yeah, they come in like, yo, yo, yo, my Chanel. Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo. Get me right. Yo, they come in hard, you know what I'm saying? And it's just, you know, it's something that you'll never forget. It's something that, no matter what age you are, you can just, you can remember.
You just have, like I have flashes of the times that I've been in those situations. And then as far as business, What you were saying about the business part?
Well, to compare the opposite of that feeling, that feeling of freezing, that feeling of your foundation shaking with some highlights of business and just in your career that you experienced that's on the opposite end of that spectrum.
When I think about my business, Acumen, a lot of it came from the streets.
