2 Chainz, Statik Selektah, Cash Cobain, and Young Nudy Link Up on Unexpected New Single “Reign”

If you had a cross-genre collab featuring 2 Chainz, Statik Selektah, Cash Cobain, and Young Nudy on your 2026 bingo card, go ahead and claim your prize. Released via Million Dollar Habits/EMPIRE, “Reign” is easily one of the most creatively jarring—and surprisingly smooth—hip-hop crossovers of the year.

Statik Selektah’s Soulful Soundscape

Production-wise, Statik Selektah steps slightly out of his signature New York boom-bap lane to cook up something special. He anchors “Reign” around a gorgeous, high-pitched vocal loop from 21st Century’s classic track “Remember the Rain”. The lush, slow-motion groove gives off major early-2000s R&B-meets-rap crossover energy, creating a buttery backdrop for a wildly disparate lineup of MCs.

An All-Star Cast of Styles

What makes the track work is how distinct every artist’s pocket is:

• 2 Chainz: Tity Boi does what he does best, gliding over the beat with his veteran charisma, sharp punchlines, and references to Atlanta staples like Magic City.

• Cash Cobain: Handling the infectious hook, the NYC “sexy drill” pioneer injects his signature laid-back, sultry vibe right into the core of the song.

• Young Nudy: Bringing that dark, menacing Atlanta trap contrast, Nudy rounds out the track with his effortlessly chilling delivery.

Part of a Bigger Run

This isn’t the first time 2 Chainz and Statik Selektah have joined forces recently—following up on their earlier collab “Pops”. Whether “Reign” is pointing toward a full joint project or just a heavyweight loose single to close out the year, it’s a clear reminder that 2 Chainz’s ear for production and fresh talent remains undefeated.
