T.I. has grown to truly be one of his generations 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 immediately engrossed by the King of the Souths words. Later T.I. summer, he promises to deliver his most potent and important LP to date, Paper Trail. PAPER TRAILs title is a direct reference to T.I.'s return to literally writing down his lyrics - a practice he hasn't engaged in since his debut, I'M SERIOUS, in 2001. Ironically, he found that going back to the basics has helped him evolve into a better MC. 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.
