Rapper 2 Chainz is running for mayor in College Park - and he may be a good candidate.
Having gone viral with his debate on the legalisation of marijuana with a rather ill informed Nancy Grace, the rapper's career outside of music seems to be picking up steam.
“I’m a musician, not a politician,” 2 Chainz (born Tauheed Epps) told XXL. “I’m supposed to be running for mayor in College Park. I got everybody wishing. I’m really gonna do this little mayor thing in College Park. I’m just trying to make sure I have the right qualifications.”
He went on to say that despite finding support from many College Park residents, “everything I do gotta be organic, so we’ll see where the future lies for me.”

2 Chainz has until 4 September to register and get in the running. Each entrant has to supply three percent of their annual salary in order to be eligible. So the town may also be getting a rather big cash injection.
With his approach to "organic" politics and a 4.0 GPA from university he looks ever more like a great candidate...
