by T.I. ft. Ricco Barrino: It humors me when artists release an album and there are additional songs leaked that are not on the CD. I guess these are the songs that did not make the cut, but I like this joint! Paper Trail is hot, but T.I. needs to combine all these left over tracks and release a mixtape.  Everyone has assumed the chorus of this is sung by T-Pain, but they are wrong! Ha! It’s actually sung my Ricco Barrino, who happens to be the same artist that is on the chorus of Porn Star. If you read a previous post, you would know I questioned who this artist is because he isn’t listed as a featured artist. So, I’m glad I came across this track to be exposed to this new artist, who is Fantasia’s brother, and know that T.I. has a few more tracks up his sleeve to look out for!

by T.I.: Today is the official release date of Paper Trail, T.I.’s 6th studio album. I will tell you this man has come a long way from I’m Serious! People have made comparisons of Weezy’s album to this one, and in my opinion you can’t compare the two albums. T.I. is on his grown man while Lil’ Wayne can continue to record for the kids. Not to mention, T.I. is hood with swagger. He continues to stay true to his roots and can rock a 3-piece suit with it all staying true to himself. Or, maybe that can be attributed to his split personalities, T.I. vs. T.I.P. This album is a good one and my approval was determined by the lyrics and guest appearances. Never am I a die hard Ludacris fan, but the track, On Top of the World, that features the artist is bomb! My Life, Your Entertainment reminds you how much we as fans turn into fanatics and follow people’s lives and idealize them, yet forget they are regular people who want privacy. Porn Star is the only sexually inspired song and rather good in my opinion. If I could only figure out who’s on the chorus!?! Anywayz, What Up, What’s Haapnin is his tribute to the haters (i.e. Shawty Lo) and is currently my riding music. I can’t review every song without ruining the package. Just get the album Happy Listening!
