American rapper T.I. releases his eighth studio album TROUBLE MAN: HEAVY IS THE HEAD.
T.I. is responsible for a number of massive hits, including ‘Dead and Gone’ featuring Justin Timberlake, and ‘Live Your Life’ featuring Rihanna – both from his 2008 album PAPER TRAIL.
T.I. has grown to truly be one of his generation's most captivating speakers. Whether he's conversing frankly with a room full of youth about the positive side of staying in school and following their dreams, or moving tens of thousands at one of his concerts, audiences are engrossed by the King of the South's words.
He revealed his thoughts on the new album: “I think it's a lot more urban than PAPER TRAIL, and less apologetic than NO MERCY. I think it's more diversified than T.I. VS. T.I.P. though. It's got a lotta heart, it's got a lotta edge. It's a creative album. It's probably harder than most of the s**t that's coming out right now.”
The album features guests Pink, Akon, Lil Wayne, Cee Lo Green, André 3000, B.o.B, and R. Kelly
