T.I. Thinks Pharrell Can Help Him Rewrite History With ‘Paperwork’

T.I. is seeking vengeance. While the ATL rapper is lauded as one of the best southern artists to ever grace the mic, he still wants more. After showing he still possesses his southern gusto with Trouble Man: Heavy Is The Head, he wants to up the ante this time around with his new album Paperwork. On board for his new journey will be "Blurred Lines" collaborator Pharrell, serving as the album's executive producer.

“Aside from DJ Toomp, it’s the first time I’ve allowed a producer to come in and kind of shape my sound as he saw fit,” states T.I. “You must find ways to reinvent yourself in order to remain relevant. And who better to help me than someone as passionate and talented as Pharrell? He found a way to bring a colorful, left-field approach to my blue-collar celebrity. Between his wings and my anchor, we balance each other out. That duality is what makes this project unique.”

T.I.'s new album will have top notch features including Jeezy, Iggy Azalea, Chris Brown, Boosie, Usher, Rick Ross, Skylar Grey and The-Dream. Pharrell will make a cameo on three tracks.

“When I first sat down with Pharrell, he told me to think ‘out of the stratosphere,’” Tip  tells AHH. “What solidifies the resulting Paperwork is a unique blend of refreshing yet timeless material. As Pharrell would put it, we’re trying to rewrite history.”

T.I.'s Paperwork will drop October 21.
