RS: Are you still working on your album?
T.I.: Absolutely. It’s called Paper Trail. It’s going great.

RS: How many tracks do you have done already?
T.I.: I’ve got about thirty-some tracks done, but I’ve got like sixteen that I’m in love with and I’m still working. After you get those sixteen, you try to make sixteen more to top them and you pick the best.

RS: Who have you been working with?
T.I.: I’ve got records with Danja, I’ve got one record so far from DJ Toomp. I’ve got records from Little C and Keith Mack from Grand Hustle Productions, and records from J.R. Rotem and J-Rock. Quite a few people.

RS: Do you have a sense yet of how this album is going to be different from the last one?
T.I.: I don’t know if I can put into words how it will be different from the last album, but I know you’ll definitely be able to tell the difference. The people who I’ve played it for, they say it reminds them a lot of the earlier albums I’m Serious and Trap Muzik. It’s called Paper Trail because for the first time since my very first album, I’m actually writing the lyrics down, pen and pad, old school style. I used to just listen to the music and go in the booth and rap. And now that I’m writing things down, I think it’s a little more eloquent.

RS: What made you decide to start doing that?
T.I.: People were saying how they missed the old sound, they missed that I’m Serious T.I., so I figured that I would try to tap into that element.

RS: You’re working from your home studios these days, I imagine, you have everything you need there?
T.I.: Absolutely. Man, more than I need.

RS: I imagine you also have enough time to get everything done?
T.I.: Time has never been and issue for me, man. It don’t take all day to do nothing.

i can't wait to hear this record

^np

Toomp is back with him, GREAT news. Danja provided 3 of the (if not THE) best beats on the whole album, so that's good news. If it REALLY does sound more like TM/IS thats VERY GOOD NEWS

but he also said TIVSTIP was TM on steroids, and that wasnt true at all.
