TI Paper Trail Album

The new album from TI entitled paper trail is due to be released sometime this summer, last we heard. No word yet on how his sentencing will affect the date for Paper Trail, but one would assume TI has done a lot of recording as his legal troubles and house arrest played out.

Here's the latest info posted on wikipizzeria:

Paper Trail is the sixth studio album by T.I.. TI working on the new Paper Trail studio album while under house arrest on pending gun charges. TI has completed 30 tracks for the album already. TI says that he only likes about 16 of them though and plans to produce about 16 more for Paper Trail. The album is entitled Paper Trail, which comes from lyrics he has written down on paper. He abandoned this style of rapping after his first album I'm Serious. "He wanted to take more time to really put something down (this time)," explains his rep.[3] The album is expected sometime in 2008.

And on MTV:

After going through most of his career without writing any of his rhymes down, T.I. has begun putting ink to pad again, inspiring his forthcoming album's title, Paper Trail.

According to his rep, T.I. is making the most out of his house arrest on gun charges by recording an album in his home studio.

While under house arrest, the MC faces very stiff restrictions from the court, including being banned from drinking alcohol and having all his visitors go through a background check and be subjected to a search by authorities. According to one of his representatives, his engineer was given clearance to visit Tip a week and a half ago, and the two began working immediately.

After writing his lyrics on paper for his first couple of albums, Tip decided to follow the practice of peers such as Jay-Z, Lil Wayne and Ja Rule and compose rhymes in his head, never writing anything down. His rep says with this LP, he wanted to spend more time concentrating, hence the title Paper Trail.
