ColleGrove is the third studio album by American hip hop recording artist 2 Chainz. It was released on March 4, 2016, by Def Jam Recordings. The album is the debut LP between 2 Chainz and fellow American rapper Lil Wayne under the stage name ColleGrove, but due to Wayne's ongoing lawsuit with Cash Money Records, only 2 Chainz was credited as the primary artist. The album includes production from several high-profile record producers; including Mike Will Made It, TM88, Infamous, Zaytoven, Lil' C, Metro Boomin, Ben Billions and London on da Track, among others. ColleGrove received generally positive reviews from critics and it debuted at number 4 on the US Billboard 200. Complex awarded it the 29th best album of 2016.

ColleGrove was initially a duet album between southern hip hop recording artists 2 Chainz and Lil Wayne, however, because of Wayne's label issues, which has prevented him from releasing collaborative efforts in the past, such as I Can't Feel My Face with Juelz Santana, Best of Young Worlds with Lloyd, He Rap, He Sing with T-Pain and more, this album does not credit Wayne as a primary artist. Although it could not be released in conjunction with their respective record labels, 2 Chainz took it upon himself to release the album as his latest solo project through Def Jam Recordings. Instead, Wayne appeared as a featured artist, courtesy of Cash Money Records, which meant that the project would not count towards Wayne's contractual obligation with Cash Money Records. 2 Chainz would later refer to this album in several interviews as a "tribute" to Lil Wayne.
