PAPER TRAIL - T.I.

The King of the South has seen some trials and tribulations since mid-2007's T.I. vs. T.I.P., which landed some more major hits for the King and solid reviews from his peers. Forever changing his career, T.I.'s now infamous arrest and subsequent gun possession indictment had the potential to wipe even the best of emcees of the hip-hop map. But T.I. bounced back, maneuvered a deal, is doing some community service (1000-1500 hours), and will do some time.

But before T.I. gets locked up (FREE T.I.) for a year, the Grand Hustle leader got on his grind and diligently chiseled away his 6th career solo album The Paper Trail, supposedly getting its name from the fact that T.I. penned his lyrics for the first time since his debut album "I'm Serious." The album features guest appearances and production by Lil Wayne. Rihanna, Usher, The Dream, Fall Out Boy, Kanye West, B.O.B, John Legend, DJ Toomp, Swizz Beatz, Drumma Boy, & Danja.
