The duo was formed in 1997 by two childhood friends Tity Boi a.k.a 2 Chainz (Tauheed Epps) and Dolla Boy (Earl Conyers) in College Park, GA. They created the acronym Playaz which stands for Preparing Legal Assets for Years from A-Z. The duo put all their money together to release their independent album United We Stand, United We Fall. The album had features from Lil Fate, I-20 and others from the Disturbing tha Peace family. They were introduced to Ludacris by Lil Fate and soon became good friends as they all shared the same dream. Tity Boi played basketball at Alabama State University in Montgomery, Alabama.
Unfortunately, Playaz Circle ran into bad luck. Tity Boi was shot and Dolla Boy was incarcerated. Their career was at a standstill. After hearing their misfortune, Ludacris reached out and then signed them. They have also been in a commercial with Ludacris for the "Two Miles an Hour" video. Later, Tity Boi started a solo career and created the new alias 2 Chainz.
Their highly-anticipated debut album Supply & Demand was released on October 30, 2007, and featured the hit singles "Duffle Bag Boy" with Lil' Wayne, "Betta Knock" and "U Can Believe It" with Ludacris. In January 2010, Playaz Circle filmed a music video for their single "Big Dawg" featuring Lil Wayne and Birdman at Studio Space Atlanta. 2 Chainz has recently appeared on Nicole Wray's single "I Like It", Gucci Mane and Waka Flocka Flame's "Mud Musik" from the former two's collaboration album Ferrari Boyz, Young Jeezy's "SupaFreak" from Jeezy's fourth studio album Thug Motivation 103: Hustlerz Ambition, and Gucci Mane's mixtape Trap Back collaborating on the songs "Get It Back" & "Okay With Me".

I'm all the way, turnt up with my burner
Broad disrespect me and I pimp, pimp, pimp, Ike Turner
Came form the gutta
The comer with my brother
I stood right by his side for the last ten summers
Smokin' on Obama and we doin' numbers
I just left the atm
My bank acount got commas
You just jumped on stage
Aka Lil'Mama
Ah look at these two chains
They aka retarted
Yeah, regardless I'm a keep on gettin' grawlers
And I pop her pussy
Like I pop my collar
Panamera porsh
Pameramic top
Hang out the roof
Jack in the box
I got sacks in the sock
Packs in mi casa
You got chickens in your freezer
I got chickens in my closet
Still sippin' syrup
Evern Wayne couldn't stop me
And I'm so dam high
An airplane couldn't top me
And my campainge poppin'
Champange poppin'
Watch so airigent
Pinkyring coky
My broad got freatures
My car got options
And nigga I'm turnt up
