Music: T.I. vs T.I.P.

Release Date: July 3
Artist: T.I.
Record Label: Atlantic

Because it takes a village to make a rap album, T.I. also has production from Timbaland, Eminem, Swizz Beatz, Scott Storch and Akon. (Lest you wonder why every rap album sounds the same right now.) As for the content of his follow-up to 2006's King, T.I. told Billboard, "I've gone so far past the hood that I've got to talk about other things."
