Atlanta Hawks hosting '2 Chainz night'

Rapper 2 Chainz, also known as Tity Boi, an Atlanta native, is a big Hawks fan, and can commonly be seen sitting court side at Philips Arena.

On March 27th however, Chainz will be making the move from courtside to center court.

The Hawks announced that their March 27th game against the Miami Heat would be '2 Chainz night' complete with an introductory performance from the rapper.

In anticipation of 2 Chainz night, the Hawks have released some official 2 Chainz/ Hawks gear.

It is a pretty cool marketing ploy from the Hawks, who continue to be ahead of the curve in that area.

"As an Atlantan, I'm excited to colloborate with my beloved Hawks on March 27 as they face off against the Miami Heat. The Hawks have been 'TRU' to Atlanta this season so it's only right that we come out to support," Chainz said in a statement.
