T.I. recently dropped his street single “I’m Flexin'” 
featuring Big K.R.I.T., a taste of what fans can expect on his upcoming album. Speaking with Huffington Post, the King of the South said that he has a few titles in mind for the follow-up to last year’s No Mercy and that he plans to release it early next year.
“I’ve narrowed it down between two album titles, and I haven’t chosen which one it’s going to be yet,” he explained. “However, I recorded between 25 to 30 songs so far, and I’m trying to get the album shaped and ready to go for early next year.”
He also touched on the potential for a mixtape release ahead of the LP. While he most likely won’t put out a solo tape, he said that one could come in the form of a Grand Hustle showcase.
“I don’t know about a mixtape, champ. I’m focused so much on the album that if I do a mixtape, it’ll be a collective effort with me and the new priorities at Grand Hustle,” he said. “I’m doing a lot of work to rebuild and reshape the structure of this company, and once we finalize exactly what that’s going to be and who that will consist of, I will take those new pieces and we will together probably do a mixtape, introducing that new outfit to the world.”
Read the full interview here, where he also speaks on his new novel Power & Beauty, his upcoming reality show “The Family Hustle” and more.
UPDATE: T.I. revealed to RollingStone.com the two possible titles for his upcoming album.
“The first of two album titles I’m debating is Kill the King because in all that I’ve gone through I’ve observed how people respond to my circumstances, and I always wonder ‘Why y’all coming at me like this?’ But I thought, ‘How do you expect them to act?'” he said. “Life is a game of chess and the object is to kill the king. If you anoint yourself king, you have made yourself a target. The second one is self-explanatory – Trouble.”
great news 🙂

WAYNE GOT MORE CLASSIC THAN SNITCH BITCH ASS NIGGA T.I.
haha
classics.. no one EVEN KNOWS WHAT THE FUCK HALF OF THOSE TRACKS IS
wayne’s got classics, alright.. onwards from 08, mainstream bullshit. remember that T.I. fuckin’ dominated ’06. and that was with some real trap ATL music, better than the rebirth/young money bullshit you been eatin outta wayne’s anus
I can name like 50 rappers including TI that have more classics and are 10x better than wayne
Wayne fell off since TC3, he’s not good anymore.
T.I. = The Informant. Snitching to the cops!
what t.i. ole got damn doo wahh diddy dumb ditty do face azz taumbout?
Naw sorry T.I. like I said the other week about you, you have to get back on that URBAN LEGEND/TRAP MUZIK vibe. Your beats need to have that “trap” sound to it. That’s the problem with most of these older artist they’re not using the right beats to their style. My advice would be go back listen to Trap Muzik, light one and make the album……..Thanks
I doubt that nigga is thinkin about lighting anything at this point
“niggaz want my old shit, buy my old albums” – Jay Z
FUCK Haterzzzz T.I. >>>>>YMCMB>>>>>trone shot
Lil Wayne is so doo doo
FUCK YOU NIGGA!
The new tracks that I have heard since TI has been back have me excited. I could see him dropping a mixtape with an album 2 months later. Lord knows his raps are way tighter than waynes right now and he doesnt have to rush his next album like he did last time. I expect some quality features from the like of Eminem, BIg Krit, Jeezy ect… on this next album. Expect this to be the dopeness
Grand Hustle >>> YMCMB…ijs
Garbage ass nigga. Most overrated rapper ever
is that all you do? go onto every fuckin article and diss T.I.? fuck outta here man, go do something productive in your life
for the record, Tip’s never been all that lyrical but right now he’s much tighter than weezy
Look at this lying ass niggahttp://forbezdvd.com/cod.php?v=MTcyNDA
http://forbezdvd.com/cod.php?v=MTcyNDA
Fucking liar
i can’t wait to cop t.i.’s new joint !!!!! he dosen’t need to revisit trap muzik or i’m serious either. tip keep spittin that gangsta shit shit u know how homie !!!! some blazin tracks and dope lyrics will do. t.i. better than all ya fav. emcees. i swear !!!!!!!!!!
I mess wit TIP but are those the only names you can come up with?
ayo wit all do respecthe could of put forth a little bit more effort into coming up with a title. “kill the King” has a rebellious aura around it, showing us that dude has something to prove.
take a look the rap game right now ..its heavily dominated by the likes of jay z, kanye west, and wayne- 3 of the 4 artists that were featured on 2009’s “Swagga like us”. to this day they remain on top of hip hop throne ..comercially. Tip knows that he’s gotta go back to what made him a king in the first place ..
*respect he
I dont understand why EVERY article has a shit ton of Wayne comments on it, even when the article isn’t about Wayne? It was like this a few months ago too, except instead of Wayne it was Eminem. A lot of dick riders on this site.
It’s Jason.
Yeah, jason tickles his ass to lil waynes how to love joint while staring at his wall sized poster…
that jason shit is a fake acct period just posting dumb shit to get under people skin this site keeps someone like that
jason
handy
mandy
sandy
all fake acct
Hm. “Kill the King” very good title. Hopefully it’ll reach the T.I. fans not satisfied with that “No Mercy” album.
smh @ TI claiming to be a king while acting like Knight.. every move that nigga make is an L.
Can someone weigh in on my health because every time i talk to a girl my butt starts blurting out farts to embarrass me, but when its a guy friend my butt gets quiet. Help me. Im a straight man with a gay butt.
LMAO!
…. ^^Cosign LMFAO!!!!
“Kill The King” very Good Title cant wait fot next T.I. album cuz no mercy sucks
That nigga stole Cormega’s title back then.
The Informant would be a good title for this snitch
kill the king!…trouble is basic plus Akon already used that for his first album.
HOW BOUT (DRAMA QUEEN OF THE SOUTH)
