"King"- T.I.
(Grand Hustle/Atlantic)

Billboard Album Review- "King"- April 01, 2006:
It happens to the best of them: Artists get stuck in a rut and fail to evolve beyond their comfort zone. Such is the case on T.I.'s fourth album, "King," timed to coincide with the release of his feature film debut, "ATL." This is mostly an uptempo set that follows the "if it ain't broke" formula. Here, T.I. shows he can still dominate a song given quality production (Just Blaze, DJ Toomp), but the album does little to build on what we have heard before. Many tracks ("King Back," "Told You So") resemble lead single "What You Know," a brag-anthem that reinforces his superiority. Sprinkled in are rap ballads ("Live in the Sky" featuring Jamie Foxx) and scenario-driven cuts ("Why You Wanna"). Nobody is expecting a completely new and different sound from T.I., but for an artist of his caliber, a little creative growth does not seem like too much to ask.
