2 Chainz & The Isley Brothers Take Us On A Different Ride For "The ATL Experience"

2 Chainz rolls around The A with a couple of legends in The Isley Brothers for the first release from the official soundtrack to the upcoming short film, Red Clay. A deeply personal tribute to the complexities of his hometown, the track blends gritty storytelling with soul-soaked melodies and honest reflections on life in the city that raised him.




2 Chainz sets the tone with a nod to Atlanta's I-285 highway-a loop that not only encircles the city, but also symbolizes the full-circle nature of his journey. From there, he paints vivid scenes with unfiltered bars that capture the duality of growing up in Atlanta.




In one standout verse, Chainz tells the story of a woman who confides in a new friend. Then set up and robbed by that friend's boyfriend. This is a description of how trust can be weaponized in a place where survival often trumps loyalty.




Tying it all together is Ronald Isley's chorus "Atlanta is bad to you, at home come back to you." A line that echoes the bittersweet push-and-pull of a city that can break you and still feel like home.




The video opens with sweeping shots of the city's East Side Moreland Supermarket, Waffle House, Candyland, and the "Welcome to East Atlanta" sign before Chainz emerges from Moreland Supermarket with The Isley Brothers in tow.

"The ATL Experience" - 2 Chainz & The Isley Brothers

Quotable Lyrics




We gonna vibe on this one, give you a run down, a little 285 talk




Tuna fish was my favorite dish, I admit I'm really blessed




Daddy wasn't around, that's real neglecting




Smiling in your face and stab you in your back
