Title: Trouble Man | Release Date: Summer

 

After serving a 10-month prison sentence for probation violation (his second 10-month jail stint in as many years), Grammy Award-winning rapper Clifford "T.I." Harris is set to return with his eighth studio album, Trouble Man. "I'm taking myself out of my element," T.I. ( @tip) said in November of the album, his first since 2010's "No Mercy," which bowed at No. 4 on the Billboard 200. "This is the first project where I'm talking about things that I've experienced before that I'm not necessarily experiencing now because I'm not doing a whole lot of partying." T.I. has released a pair of singles reportedly featured on the album - " I'm Flexin'," featuring Big K.R.I.T., and "Hear Ye' Hear Ye'," featuring Pharrell Williams - but neither has yet to make a significant impact on the charts. T.I. released the free mixtape "F*ck Da City Up" at midnight on New Year's Eve.
