T.I. just released his new album Paperwork: The Motion Picture six months ago, but the "No Mediocre" rapper is already looking forward to the second part of his planned trilogy. In the midst of the "Blurred Lines" lawsuit and the promotional cycle for his new movie Get Hard, Tip announced that his next record will have a much harder sound and also unveiled the title.
In an interview with HHS1987 (via Hip-Hop-n-More), T.I. briefly mentioned that he was working on his Paperwork follow up. The album, which will be "unapologetically gangsta" is called Trap's Open.
"Paperwork, it's a trilogy. So, the first installment The Motion Picture was supposed to be cinematic, nostaligic. It was supposed to give an application of the sounds of yesteryear mixed with the hip-hop of today. This next one is going to be unapologetically gangsta. It's trap music. It's called Trap's Open," he said.
Though T.I. the new album is already reportedly done, he couldn't unveil whether or not Trap's Open will have any featured artists on it. Paperwork had a slew of guest stars, including Pharrell, Iggy Azalea, Chris Brown, Usher, Skylar Grey and Jeezy.
Further information about the album remains quiet, and there's no word on a release date, tracklisting or album cover. Also no word on the third album in the Paperwork trilogy.
Trap's Open will not only mark a return to a harder style for T.I., the record will also be his landmark 10th studio recording, following the October 2014 release of Paperwork: The Motion Picture.
