Transparency (song)

"Transparency" is a song by American rappers 2 Chainz and Lil Wayne, featuring R&B singer Usher.

[2][3] "Transparency" was originally a Chris Brown song featuring 2 Chainz, that was supposed to be included on his tenth studio album Breezy (2022), and sampled Michael Jackson's 1982 song "The Lady In My Life".

[4] The track was later taken by 2 Chainz and Lil Wayne for their 2023 collaborative studio album Welcome 2 Collegrove, enlisting Fridayy, Hitmaka, Mike Dean, Paul Cabbin and Tarik Beats to rearrange its instrumental, and Usher to perform the song's chorus.

It’s supposedly a somewhat serious song about integrity, but the two rappers groaningly take the titular concept literally, making cracks about, among other things, see-through garments".

[5] HipHopDX stated that the song "feel[s] dated and slapdash", adding that it "rips lyrics from the chorus of a 2021 Chris Brown song of the same name, sounds like a lazy reach for radio play".
