It's time for 2 Chainz to face the music for his June 2013 arrest at LAX. The Los Angeles District Attorney's office has filed felony drug-possession charges against the "Feds Watching" rapper, according to TMZ.

Chainz is looking at up to three years behind bars for one count of codeine possession — the main ingredient in sizzurp. The rapper was arrested last summer when he was going through a security checkpoint at LAX and TSA officials discovered less than an ounce of marijuana and promethazine in his checked luggage.

He's scheduled to be arraigned in a Los Angeles court next week.
