T.I. Hot New Music & Album Release Update 2014: 'No Mediocre' Rapper Reveals 'Paperwork: The Motion Picture'
T.I. finally revealed the tracklist for his upcoming ninth studio album "Paperwork: The Motion Picture."
Sitting down with New York City's hip-hop and R&B radio station Hot 97 recently, the Atlanta, Georgia-native emcee discussed what his latest project is all about. "Paperwork is official. If you've got paperwork on something, it's official," he said. "Also, if someone has paperwork on you, then it could be some trouble. So it's official, it's trouble, it's authentic. Sounds like me. The music supports this theory very well."
T.I.P. then insisted that he has put in enough time and effort on his new LP, which is produced by Pharrell, B.o.B and DJ Mustard among several others. "This is the first time in my career that I have had enough time to create all the music, get the sequencing down, even before I start my clock and put myself on the calendar," he said. "Now that I have all of the music ... I could take my time and step back and make sure it's the perfect blend, to create the perfect amount of synergy between trap music and art house."
Similar to how Beyoncé released her self-titled visual album earlier this year, the "Whatever You Like" hitmaker revealed that he also plans to drop an audio-visual record. "She went and shot individual videos one by one by one," he said. "That must've drove the cost through the roof. I'm doing three short stories. I'm not doing 18 videos."
