2 Chainz recently announced that he's working on a new project called 'Freebase,' and the rapper put out a call on Instagram, asking upcoming graphic designers to design a cover and tag it with #freebase.
Although the informative Tweegram posted by 2 Chainz doesn't have many details, Freebase could very well be for an upcoming 2 Chainz album or a mixtape cover. The only other additional piece of information included is a note stating that the winner will be compensated.
With over 4,000 likes to the post so far on Instagram, 2 Chainz is sure to have an overwhelming amount of album art to sort through. However, since all of the submissions will be categorized with the "Freebase" hashtag, it should be easy to scroll through the entries and immediately see any standout works. Plus, it's great exposure for whatever Freebase turns out to be.
