Remember when I told you about 2 Chainz’s Instagram and how his interests are uncannily similar to Martha Stewart’s? Well, he’s finally channeled those interests into his very own cookbook to coincide with the release of his new album. The album is titled B.O.A.T.S. 2 #Metime, and the cookbook is titled #Mealtime (the hashtag is part of the title, don’t get it twisted). Maybe it’s just me, but every time I read a cookbook, I always wish it would tell me what to wear, what to listen to, and who to be with whilst preparing the food. I knew I could count on 2 Chainz to deliver. Read on to get a taste of the detailed instructions before you purchase #Mealtime.
