History

1997–2010: Beginnings and debut album

The duo was formed in 1997 by childhood friends Tity Boi (later known as 2 Chainz) and Dolla Boy in College Park, Georgia.[1] The duo put all their money together to release their independent album United We Stand, United We Fall. The album included 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.

Shortly after, Dolla Boy was incarcerated and Tity Boi was shot. As a result, no material was released from the duo until 2007. In January 2010, Playaz Circle filmed a music video for their single "Big Dawg" featuring Lil Wayne and Birdman at Studio Space Atlanta.

2012–2013: Untitled project and deformation

In late 2012 or early 2013, their two studio albums were removed from iTunes, most likely because of a copyright claim on the duo's name.[2] In December 2013, 2 Chainz confirmed that he had been recently working with Dolla Boy and that the duo was planning to release another project together,[3] though no new updates have been made since.
