Owning his mistakes, T.I. did all he could to make it up to his fans for two prison stints on the heels of each other, he kept grinding. When it seemed as if the fans turned their back on T.I., he simply recorded. The result of these recordings came a “Niggas in Paris” remix by T.I., which became an unofficial remix to Jay-Z and Kanye West’s hit, and Future’s “Magic.”
Being released from prison at the end of September 2011, T.I. would release a new song almost daily. Suddenly, the rap game was forced to pay attention to T.I. When he was not releasing music, he was appearing on television. Starring in his own VH1 reality series, “The Family Hustle,” T.I. proved he still had much more left in the tank.
After building anticipation, T.I. has made fans wait a year for his Trouble Man album. Last night, however, T.I. held a listening session for his new album. In attendance was wife, Tiny, Lil Duval, and David Banner. Calling the album vintage T.I. with a bit of mainstream, Trouble Man features appearances from A$AP Rocky, P!nk, Andre 3000, B.o.B., Lil Wayne, Kendrick Lamar, and more.
