While fans anticipate the project's September release, Tip said he will focus on heating up the summer with new music.
Trouble is brewing for T.I. The Grand Hustle chief has announced a release date for his eighth album Trouble Man. During his visit to Angie Martinez' radio show on Tuesday, Tip revealed that the follow-up to 2010's No Mercy will drop on September 4. "Look forward to those summertime anthems that we've grown to love about T.I.," he previously told Fuse of the project, which has spawned the singles "Love This Life" and "Like That." (Rap-Up)
Recently, producer Sham "Sak Pase" Joseph hit up SOHH to discuss Tip's new LP.
"I think what we want to do is transcend and introduce a musically mature T.I.," Sak Pase told SOHH. "I think he's accomplished a lot with the T.I. we already know him for. Obviously his new album will have the classic T.I. records where it may be a great female record but musically, I think it may not be time to try something different but kind of mature the music a little bit more plus add a bit more sophistication to who he already is. People don't really regard Southern artists as lyricists or true emcees or sophisticated. So I think he has an opportunity to do that now. He's done Trap Muzik which was very successful and I think now it's an opportunity to try something different. I want to be able to say that Tip is venturing out into different types of music and elements that could spark a different kind of light." (SOHH)
