2 Chainz just dropped his fifth studio album and picked the perfect song to accompany its release. The georgia-based rapper shared a time-traveling video for his latest single “Money in the Way”.

Three-minute long clip shows 2 Chainz taking a ride on a mysterious elevator that takes him back in time. He travels through different eras and observes the lives of people living on the same apartment block.

2 Chainz ends up witnessing everything from a fatal robbery to the arrival of new life and comes to the conclusion that money has always been the root of all evil. The video closes with a shot of a newspaper headline reading, “2 Chainz Buys the Block.”

The rapper’s latest album “Rap Or Go To The League” hit the shelves on March 1, and he used it to celebrate black excellence and focus on the power of education and entrepreneurship.

“The message to me was about black excellence, ‘each one teach one’, and it’s about getting the African American community to know they can do something,” explained 2 Chainz.
