"All Dz Chainz" is a song by American rapper Gucci Mane featuring fellow American rapper Lil Baby. Written alongside producers Wheezy and Juke Wong, it was released on June 29, 2022 as the lead single from the former's compilation album So Icy Boyz 22.
Composition and lyrics
The song begins with Lil Baby sing-rapping via Auto-Tune about the luxury in his life and envy that comes with being in his position in the rap industry. Then, Gucci Mane pays tribute to the rapper Trouble, who died a few weeks before the song's release, and calls for fellow rappers Young Thug, Gunna, Foogiano, and Pooh Shiesty (all of whom he's collaborated with) to be released from prison. In addition, Mane addresses the topic of lyrics being used against artists in court ("The DA bring up lyrics in the court, may not be even true / And try to pen some shit next to your name that you ain't even do") and reflects on the jealousy that threatens his safety.

Music video
