Paper Trail

TI



As he awaits trial on gun possession charges, T.I. is speaking out about his new album "Paper Trail."The rapper recently spoke to MTV.com from his home in suburban Atlanta where he is currently on house arrest."It’s a lot of bullsh— out right now," he told MTV News via phone from Atlanta. "I’m not gonna front. I feel it’s definitely about time for somebody to come back out and kick this thing back in gear. The rotation is suffering right now. I intend to do something about it. It’s just a matter of when." T.I. reveals that the album’s street single will be a song called "Let My Beat Pound."

"That’s gonna be a big record," Tip said. "It’s a different record. It’s a record I approached differently, and it don’t sound like a typical T.I. record. It’s basically about when you got your first car, one of the first things was to make sure your [sound] system was right. The love for the boomin’ system. It has the sentiments of LL Cool J’s ’Boomin’ System,’ but it kind of sounds like a Sir Mix-A-Lot [song]. It’s kinda got the mood and tempo of ’Posse on Broadway,’ but it’s outta here." No official release date has been announced for "Paper Trail" although it is expected to hit stores in 2008.
