T.I. is currently recording his upcoming album Trouble Man, with 45 songs in the can. During an interview with Billboard’s Juice, Tip revealed that he has a duet with Usher lined up for the project, tossing his name into the fold while listing his dream collaborations.
“I’d love to work with Ke$ha. I want to work with Cee-Lo, Bruno Mars. I’d love [to work wtih] Frank Ocean, Miguel. I like to work with a lot of different people that can provide a lot of different sounds,” he said. “Usher and I have been putting our heads together on how we can present that perfect collaboration between him and myself.”
Additionally, he explained that he wants to step outside of his comfort zone for the project, due in February 2012.
“A lot of times, I’m taking myself out of my element,” he said. “This is the first project where I’m talking about things that I’ve experienced before that I’m not necessarily experiencing now, ’cause I’m not doing a whole lot of partying. I do a little bit, but not a lot … nothing like when I was in that life.”
[September 23]
UPDATE: T.I. has revealed that his new album Trouble Man will release on September 4th, the day after the premiere of the second season of his VH1 reality show “T.I. & Tiny: The Family Hustle.” The news was broken during an interview on Hot 97 with Angie Martinez. Listen to the full interview below.

THIS BETTER BE GOOD, I HOPE LIKE HE SAID HE WORKS WITH DIFFERENT PEOPLE PLEASE NO OFFICER RICKY OR LIL WAYNE PLEASE PLEASE
I thought he said he was gonna take it back to the, Trap Muzik days? Yet he wants to do pop collabs and shyt. I doubt this will be anygood. Probably the record label’s wish list,nigga’s never stick to they guns in this game.

Any time an artist “Takes it back” to what he use to do, the album flops and nobody likes it, because you cant recreate a moment in time just because a few people on the internet tell you to
T.I making “Trap Muzik 2.0” would sound fake as hell, because he’s a millionaire and aint been broke in a decade
I dont like the sound of these collabos but at least he’s trying to progress instead of regress
Those who dont leave the past behind them will get stuck in the past
co-sign
T.I.P. still my favorite out there and I do music, so I couldn’t have said it any better man
KESHA? KE$$$$$A? KESHA? REALLY? cmon TIP
How you gonna go from collaborating with K.R.I.T. to wanting to collab with Kei$ha? Tip needs another true southern rap album.
I wish him the best i still feel him a lil and i from the street’s and as the street’s say i need some paperwork before i start rockin with him again
Kesha, Miguel, Cee Lo, Usher, Bruno Mars ? Daamn Tip, what the fuck happened to you ?!
Love T.I. But Goddamn, Kesha?, Rappers have gone so fuckin soft lately, theres already way too many annoying pop songs as is, seems like everyone is selling there soul just to sell a couple more records.
i know it’s sad, like be your own artist, this industry is run by the producers and pop sensations, and these rappers try to make something in that lane to sell records. its a shame, be your own creative person with your ideas for your sound. i aint buying this weak shit.
stepping out of his comfort zone, its going to sound like any pop song about sex and girls. get fuck outta here sell out.
it’s niggas like you who don’t wanna step out of their comfort zone
Complain, complain, complain.
T.I should make a track with DMX
i think that’ll be the shit
just sayin
Kesha? Come on, son! After those remixes and freestyles you want to collaborate with her?! Horrendous news.
TIP should work with J.Cole, Kanye, Drake would be interesting and of course Jay!
T.I. Should get Lloyd Banks cuz they have an absolute different sound and they’re good rappers an the only new York rapper T.I. Ever collaborated with are jay z and nas
what song did tip & nas collab on? and he also did hi haters remix too
Diddy? Jim Jones? Im sure he’s collaborated with many New York rappers
Unit have a problem with Tip bein a ‘snitch’ don’t they or some other bullshit
He did songs with Maino , Busta Rhymes ,jadakiss , juelz santana ,Cam’Ron , mobb deep got him on there new album
well there goes the prospect of this being a good album out the window. Ke$ha? FUCK OUTTA HERE WITH THAT SHIT!
My Wish List:
– Ricky Martin
– Britney Spears
– Backstreet Boys
Not far off the actual features I imagine.
I’m a Trap Rapper, ha!
get J cole & Kendrick on the same track to spit sum fire!Drake on the hook so it cud be a straight up classic!
TIP homie bruh.. if you looking for a different sound and collabs get them Bone boys on a track.. get Dee-1.. get Supreme INK from right in your own backyard of the A.. hell nigga come find me im right here in the A.. lol im typing like im talking to that nigga yall get the point
Damn t.i., back in the day you were the hardest rapper in the game.. now you want to colab with…Kesha?? BRING THE OLD TIP BACK!
dude he just put out a mixtape “fuck da city up” that is as hardcore old tip as it gets. Like Hurt and you dont know me style
This is either gonna be really really good, or an abomination. I’ve got a suspicion it’ll be the latter.
Most likely another failed “comeback”.
T.I. IS DONE FOR IF HE COLLABORATING WITH ARTISTS LIKE KESHA AND BRUNO MARS. HE CANT GET ON THE YMCMB LEVEL THATS WHY HE DOESNST COLLABORATE WITH THEM, HES PROBABLY BEGGING AND BEGGING THEM TO COLLAB WITH HIM BUT THEY DONT WANNA. DRAKE AND YMCMB ARE RULING THIS SHIT AND NO ONE ELSE WANNA MESS WITH THEM

Quit rapping, snitch, you fell the fuck off. And Kesha, Miguel, Bruno Mars? Damn, Trap Muzik is long gone
haters talking shit. he dropped some serious trap music mixtape on new year’s day and you’re here talkin that bullshit.. wash your ass
His mixtape was mediocre as fuck.
your ass is mediocre as fuck, mixtape was bangin’.. trap music 2012
^that was your comeback? your ass is mediocre as fuck? just checking…
Sorry, should’ve I used another sodomy related homo joke like most ppl on bere
fact; Fuck Da City Up was average at its best.
Trap Muzik is gone. thats true. but at least give him chance coz he is trying to step the game up on whole another level.
I WANNA SEE RICK ROSS POSE NAKED FOR PLAYBOY!
hhahahahaha
KRIT brought out the best in T.I. Unless the project has KRIT everywhere then it will be another mediocre mainstream bubblegum release from T.I.
co-sign
oh yeah that makes fuckin’ sense. there’s one nigga who brought out the best in T.I. and that’s DJ Toomp. done it for years. Tip skipped out on him in his T.I/T.I.P album and the album ended up subpar for many.
KRIT pairs up with him for one forgettable street banger and he’s his solution to all problems? fuck outta here. got love for KRIT but at least when shit makes sense
once again ETK makes you dickriders look as stupid as you sound
T.I. has become so watered down he’s actually making Drake look like a gangsta.
seriously, will he ever stop!!!
Damn, yall some hatin ass niggas real talk. Other than no mercy, T.I. has been consistent on all his albums. Should be dope, along with luda album droppin the week after.
sound like sucka shit to me
Paper Trail was good, but not a classic. Can’t believe people turned on Lil Flip. Where’s Flip anyway?
back then T.I. was one of the few realest mainstream artist. he was “Jay-Z of the South” i miss those days.
best T.I. albums
1.King
2.Trap Muzik
3.Paper Trail
4.Urban Legend
5.Im Serious/TI vs TIP
7.No Mercy
best T.I. singles
1.What You Know
2.Rubberband Man
3.Live in the Sky
4.Bring Em Out
5.24s
6.Dead and Gone
keep ya headupp Tip…
NO those are YOUR favourite T.I. songs and albums not THE best T.I. songs and Albums
>anon
fuck your mother
T.I. is fuckin’ rat. A protected federal informant. How this nigga talking about killing niggas in his songs when niggas from the Midwest killed his homeboy for real? And that nigga ain’t do shit, but make more songs!
This nigga ain’t the King of the South. He’s more like the Mouth of the South.
TI has been consistent, getting better with each album. IMO his top albums are Paper Trail, King then Trap Musik. No Mercy was rushed and subpar so hopefully this album is better than previous ones.
