Tweaking the title once again, T.I. says his upcoming 10th album will be called The Dime Trap. Despite endeavors all over the entertainment world, the Grand Hustle boss refuses to hang up the mic, confirming the release of what will be his 10th studio album -- though not yet revealing an official release date.
The forthcoming album will follow 2014's Paperwork, which hit No. 2 on the charts with hits like "All About the Money," with Bankroll Mafia crewmember Young Thug. T.I.'s next album was supposed be titled Paperwork: The Return, but has since gone through two name changes -- first, Trap's Open, and, now, The Dime Trap.
Tip says The Dime Trap will be "a continuation of the vibe from Trap Muzik," his second studio effort from 2003, now hailed as a southern classic. His focus is not on pop appeal, but rather, a return to his "unapologetically gangsta" roots.
The first single off The Dime Trap will be "Project Steps," which he dropped March. Check out the video below.
"...when you do those mainstream kind of 'Blurred Lines'-ish kind of records, you don't go and try to top 'Blurred Lines.' You just come to a whole new element, bring it back down and build the process back over again," he told MovieWeb during in an interview on his role alongside a miniature Paul Rudd in the Marvel film Ant-Man, which hit theaters last Friday (July 17).
The silver screen is where the Atlanta veteran has spent most of 2015. Before Ant-Man, he appeared as himself in the Entourage movie and alongside Kevin Hart and Will Ferrell in Get Hard. He's currently working with Jamie Foxx and Gabrielle Union on the upcoming action film Sleepless Nights.
