As we know, the King of the South T.I. applies his talents in many directions, not only in the music world, but towards well-rounded creative endeavours. For this reason, the streets have been waiting for a concrete project from Tip for quite some time. A topic that appears to have been kept on the down-low, the rapper’s latest project is underway as he applies studio time at a dedicated level.
In a recent interview with Billboard, the “Project Steps” trapper revealed that the new album is actually complete with only minor arrangements to be put in place. The rapper confirms no release date has been firmly established.
“The new album’s finished! I just have to figure out when I’ll have time to actually market it and promote it and work it. Presently we’re working on Bankroll Mafia. Bankroll Mafia is a collective that includes a lot of personal and professional constituents throughout the industry, in and out of our elements. One of them being Shad da God, another one being myself and another one being Young Thug. We’re very colourful characters in this business and you should be hearing some music very soon.”
As attractive as this sounds, T.I.’s schedule seems to be hindering the album process, as he makes attempts to balance the music scene with movie roles, and of course reality TV.
“It’s difficult because, like I said, I have an album right now ready to go but I don’t have any actual time to invest in the marketing, promotions and all of the work that goes into releasing it. I’m about to start a film with Jamie Foxx in Atlanta in the next couple weeks, and that should take me somewhere into August. It’s hard, I could just drop it right now and not necessarily put any work into the release, but I don’t think that would really serve the true purpose of the release.”
“No time off. We have so much work to do, so many people to create opportunities for.”
